This paper presents database applications of the recently proposed Transaction Logic|an extension of classical predicate logic that accounts in a clean and declarative fashion for the phenomenon of state changes in logic programs and databases. It has a natural model theory and a sound and complete proof theory, but, unlike many other logics, it allows users to program transactions. In addition, the semantics leads naturally to features whose amalgamation in a single logic has proved elusive in the past. Finally, Transaction Logic holds promise as a logical model of hitherto non-logical phenomena, including so-called procedural knowledge in AI, and the behavior of object-oriented databases, especially meth- ods with side eects. This paper focuses on the applications of TR to database systems, including transaction denition and execution, nested transactions, view updates, consistency maintenance, bulk updates, non- determinism, sampling, active databases, dynamic integrity-constraints, hypothetical reasoning, and imperative-style programming. |
