Abstract
Constraint validation has been difficult to implement
efficiently.
The major reason for this difficulty lies in the state-dependent
nature of integrity constraints and the requirement of both
high-level specification and efficient runtime enforcement.
In this paper, we propose a constraint reformulation approach
to efficient constraint validation.
We also demonstrate how this knowledge-based constraint reformulation
can be naturally accomplished in the general framework of problem
reformulation with the technique of antecedent derivation.
We formalize the reformulation of an integrity constraint as a
tree-search process where the search space is the set of all
semantic-equivalent alternatives of the original constraint.
We also develop control strategies and meta-level rules for
carrying out the search efficiently.
The major contribution of this work is a new promising approach
to efficient constraint validation and a general framework
to accomplish it.
