Abstract

In a heterogeneous distributed database environment, each component database is characterized by its own logical schema and its own set of integrity constraints. The task of generating a global schema from a constituent local schemata has been addressed by many researchers. The complementary problem of using multiple sets of integrity constraints to create a new set of global integrity constraints is examined in this paper. These global integrity constraints facilitate both query optimization and update validation tasks.
