Definition

The active database management system (ADBMS) architecture is the software organization of a DBMS with active capabilities. That is, the architecture defines support for active capabilities expressed in terms of services, significant components providing the services, as well as critical interaction among these services.

Historical Background

Several architectures have been proposed: HiPAC [1, 2], REACH [3], ODE [4], SAMOS [5], SMILE [6], and DeeDS [1]. Each of these architectures emphasizes particular issues concerning the actual DBMS that they are based on as well as the type of support for active capabilities. Paton and Diaz [7] provide an excellent survey on this topic. Essentially, these architectures propose that the active capabilities of an ADBMS require the services specified in Table 1. It is assumed that queries to the database are encompassed in transactions, and hence transactions imply queries as well as...
