Universal Relation Database Systems.
Abstract
The query facility for their universal relation database system is now working. The fundamental paper unifying ideas on what a UR system can and should be has been published. A paper surveying developments in the field of universal relation systems was invited for the triennial IFIP Congress and was delivered in September. Some initial results on logical theories applied to the problem of updating views have been obtained. There have been a number of developments concerning inference of inclusion dependencies and on the complexity of deciding certain properties of data base schemes. Some interesting results on the difficulty of obtaining hash functions that work well for particular sets of data have been obtained and won an award. (Author)
