2. Active Database Concepts and Triggers Generalized Model for Active Databases and Oracle Triggers Triggers are executed when a specified condition occurs during insert/delete/update Triggers are action that fire automatically based on these conditions

3. Event-Condition-Action (ECA) Model • Triggers follow an Event-condition-action (ECA) model • Event: • Database modification • E.g., insert, delete, update, • Condition: • Any true/false expression • Optional: If no condition is specified then condition is always true • Action: • Sequence of SQL statements that will be automatically executed

4. Trigger Example When a new employees is added to a department, modify the Total_sal of the Department to include the new employees salary; CREATE TRIGGER Total_sal1 AFTER INSERT ON Employee FOR EACH ROW WHEN (NEW.Dno is NOT NULL) UPDATE DEPARTMENT SET Total_sal = Total_sal + NEW. Salary WHERE Dno = NEW.Dno;

5. Trigger Example • From the previous example we can find that: • Logically this means that we will CREATE a TRIGGER, let us call the trigger Total_sal1 • This trigger will execute AFTER INSERT ON Employee table (EVENT) • It will do the following FOR EACH ROW • WHEN NEW.Dno is NOT NULL (CONDITION) • The trigger will UPDATE DEPARTMENT (ACTION) • By SETting the new Total_sal to be the sum of • old Total_sal and NEW. Salary • WHERE the Dno matches the NEW.Dno;

6. CREATE or ALTER TRIGGER • CREATE TRIGGER <name> • Creates a trigger if one does not exist • ALTER TRIGGER <name> • Alters a trigger if one does exist • Works in both cases, whether a trigger exists or not

7. Conditions Conditions can be one of the following: • AFTER • Executes after the event • BEFORE • Executes before the event • INSTEAD OF • Executes insteadof the event • Note that event does not execute in this case • INSTEAD OF triggers are used for modifying views

8. Row-Level VS. Statement-level • Triggers can be • Row-level • FOR EACH ROW specifies a row-level trigger • Executed separately for each affected row • NEW and OLD keywords can be used here • Statement-level • Default (when FOR EACH ROW is not specified) • Execute once for the SQL statement,

9. Condition • Any true/false condition to control whether a trigger is activated or not • Absence of condition means that the trigger will always execute for the even (True) • Otherwise, condition is evaluated • before the event for BEFORE trigger • after the event for AFTER trigger

10. Action • Action can be • One SQL statement • A sequence of SQL statements enclosed between a BEGIN and an END • Action specifies the relevant modifications

11. Active Database Concepts and Triggers Design and Implementation Issues for Active Databases • An active database allows users to make the following changes to triggers (rules) • Activate • Deactivate • Drop

12. Active Database Concepts and Triggers An event can be considered in 3 ways: • Immediate consideration: • Part of the same transaction and can be one of the following depending on the situation • Before • After • Instead of • Deferred consideration: • Condition is evaluated at the end of the transaction • Detached consideration: • Condition is evaluated in a separate transaction

13. Active Database Concepts and Triggers Potential Applications for Active Databases • Notification • Automatic notification when certain condition occurs • Enforcing integrity constraints • Triggers are smarter and more powerful than constraints • Maintenance of derived data • Automatically update derived data and avoid anomalies due to redundancy • E.g., trigger to update the Total_sal in the earlier example

14. Active Database Concepts and Triggers Triggers in SQL-99 Can alias variables inside the REFERENCING clause

15. Active Database Concepts and Triggers Trigger examples in SQL-99

16. Temporal Database Concepts Time Representation, Calendars, and Time Dimensions • Time is considered ordered sequence of points in some granularity • Use the term choronon instead of point to describe minimum granularity

17. Temporal Database Concepts • A calendar organizes time into different time units for convenience. • Accommodates various calendars • Gregorian (western), Chinese, Islamic, Etc. • Point events • Single time point event • E.g., bank deposit • Series of point events can form a time series data • Duration events • Associated with specific time period • Time period is represented by start time and end time

18. Temporal Database Concepts • Transaction time • The time when the information from a certain transaction becomes valid • Bitemporal database • Databases dealing with two time dimensions

19. Temporal Database Concepts Incorporating Time in Relational Databases Using Tuple Versioning • Add to every tuple • Valid start time • Valid end time

21. Temporal Database Concepts

22. Temporal Database Concepts Incorporating Time in Object-Oriented Databases Using Attribute Versioning • A single complex object stores all temporal changes of the object • Time varying attribute • An attribute that changes over time • E.g., age • Non-Time varying attribute • An attribute that does not changes over time • E.g., date of birth

23. Deductive Databases • Declarative Language • Language to specify rules • Inference Engine (Deduction Mechanism) • Can deduce new facts by interpreting the rules • Related to logic programming • Prolog language (Prolog => Programming in logic) • Uses backward chaining to evaluate • Top-down application of the rules

24. Deductive Databases • Specification consists of: • Facts • Similar to relation specification without the necessity of including attribute names • Rules • Similar to relational views (virtual relations that are not stored)

25. Prolog/Datalog Notation • Predicate has • a name • a fixed number of arguments • Convention: Constants are numeric or character strings • Variables start with upper case letters • E.g., SUPERVISE(Supervisor, Supervisee) • States that Supervisor SUPERVISE(s) Supervisee

26. Prolog/Datalog Notation • Rule • Is of the form head :- body • where “:-” is read as “if and only if” • E.g., SUPERIOR(X,Y) :- SUPERVISE(X,Y) • E.g., SUBORDINATE(Y,X) :- SUPERVISE(X,Y)

27. Prolog/Datalog Notation • Query • Involves a predicate symbol followed by some variable arguments to answer the question • E.g., SUPERIOR(james,Y)? • E.g., SUBORDINATE(james,X)?

28. Examples (a) Prolog notation (b) Supervisory tree

29. Datalog Notation • Program is built from atomic formulas • Literals of the form p(a1, a2, … an) where • p predicate name • n is the number of arguments • Built-in predicates are included • E.g., <, <=, =, etc. • A literal is either • An atomic formula • An atomic formula preceded by not

30. Clausal Form and Horn Clauses • A formula can have quantifiers • Universal • Existential

31. Clausal Form and Horn Clauses • In clausal form, a formula must be transformed into another formula with the following characteristics • All variables are universally quantified • Formula is made of a number of clauses where each clause is made up of literals connected by logical ORs only • Clauses themselves are connected by logical ANDs only.

32. Clausal Form and Horn Clauses • Any formula can be converted into a clausal form • A specialized case of clausal form are horn clauses that can contain no more than one positive literal • Datalog program are made up of horn clauses

33. Interpretation of Rules • There are two main alternatives for interpreting rules: • Proof-theoretic • Model-theoretic

34. Interpretation of Rules • Proof-theoretic • Facts and rules are axioms • Ground axioms contain no variables • Rules are deductive axioms • Deductive axioms can be used to construct new facts from existing facts • This process is known as theorem proving

35. Proving a new fact

36. Interpretation of Rules • Model-theoretic • Given a finite or infinite domain of constant values, we assign the predicate every combination of values as arguments • If this is done for every predicated, it is called interpretation

37. Interpretation of Rules • Model • An interpretation for a specific set of rules • Model-theoretic proofs • Whenever a particular substitution to the variables in the rules is applied, if all the predicated are true under the interpretation, the predicate at the head of the rule must also be true • Minimal model • Cannot change any fact from true to false and still get a model for these rules

38. Minimal model

39. Datalog Programs and Their Safety • A program is safe if it generates a finite set of facts • Two main methods of defining truth values • Fact-defined predicates (or relations) • Listing all combination of values that make a predicate true • Rule-defined predicates (or views) • Head (LHS) of one or more Datalog rules, for example:

40. Use the Relational Operations • Many operations of relational algebra can be defined in the for of Datalog rules that defined the result of applying these operations on database relations (fact predicates) • Relational queries and views can be easily specified in Datalog

41. Evaluation of Non-recursive Datalog Queries • Define an inference mechanism based on relational database query processing concepts • Example: predicate dependencies

42. Knowledge databases

43. KDD: A Definition KDD is the automatic extraction of non-obvious, hidden knowledge from large volumes of data. KDD is the automatic extraction of non-obvious, hidden knowledge from large volumes of data. 106-1012 bytes: we never see the whole data set, so will put it in the memory of computers What is the knowledge? How to represent and use it? Then run Data Mining algorithms

44. Data, Information, Knowledge We often see data as a string of bits, or numbers and symbols, or “objects” which we collect daily. Information is data stripped of redundancy, and reduced to the minimum necessary to characterize the data. Knowledge is integrated information, including facts and their relations, which have been perceived, discovered, or learned as our “mental pictures”. Knowledge can be considered data at a high level of abstraction and generalization.

46. Data Rich Knowledge Poor How to acquire knowledge for knowledge-based systems remains as the main difficult and crucial problem. People gathered and stored so much data because they think some valuable assets are implicitly coded within it. ? knowledge base inference engine Rawdata is rarely of direct benefit. Its true value depends on the ability to extract information useful for decision support. Tradition: via knowledge engineers Impractical Manual Data Analysis New trend: via automatic programs
