Abstract
Present relational language capabilities are insufficient to
provide interoperability of databases even if they are all
relational. In particular, unified multidatabase view definitions
cannot reconcile schematic discrepancies, where
data in one database correspond to metadata of another.
We claim that following new features are necessary:
- Higher order expressions where variables can range
over data and metadata, including database names.
- Higher order (multidatabase) view definitions, where
the number of relations or of attributes defined, is
dependent on the state of the database(s).
- Complete view updatability for the users of multidatabase
views.
We propose these features in the context of a Horn clause
based language, called Interoperable Database Language,
(IDL).
