Managing Rules in Active Databases

Traditional databases are viewed as passive repositories of data. We store, retrieve, and alter data in a database, but do not expect a database to respond to actions performed to it. This passive paradigm is now rapidly changing as databases incorporate rules which permit them to detect and respond to important events. The resulting active databases have expanded capabilities. Among other things, they can enforce constraints, maintain derived data, propagate the effect of updates, and implement change management protocols.
