The CUDL language offers a focused, flexible, efficient and highly expressive environment that also takes advantage of the FDB’s characteristics of a continuously evolving database. It provides the ability to define and manipulate database information and changes that can be easily navigated, ensuring full maintainability of all applications. We present a formal definition of the CUDL language’s semantics with example interpretations. The basic features, query specification and interpretation, object manipulation, query language constructs and query processing ...
