Abstract

We study the problem of maintaining recursively defined views, such as the transitive closure of a relation, in traditional relational languages that do not have recursion mechanisms. The main results of this paper are negative ones: we show that a certain property of query languages implies impossibility of such incremental maintenance. 2003 Elsevier Science (USA).
