When two or more databases are combined into a global one, integrity may be violated even when each database is consistent with its own local integrity constraints. Efficient metho...
We investigate the problem of incremental maintenance of an SQL view in the face of database updates, and show that it is possible to reduce the total time cost of view maintenanc...
