Abstract

Active database systems integrate an event-based rule system into the DBMS. The rules are used to react on occurring events with the execution of transactions. In this paper, we examine which conclusions must be drawn for the active part of the DBMS if we take into account that a DBMS might fail and needs to be recovered. We propose techniques for handling different kinds of failures. These techniques result in a modified and coupling mode specific algorithm for the detection of complex events based on a log of atomic events. Finally, we use the AIDE-environment as an example to show which components of an active DBMS must be modified in order to make it recoverable.
