During the 1970's a theory of data ases began to evolve pro viding a foundation for some existing tools and techniques. The significance of this theory is beginning to have an impact particu larly with respect to the design and implementation of the relational model of data bases. To further the state of the art in the theory of data bases, a workshop was held in TOulouse, France on December 12-14, 1979. The workshop was a sequel to one held two years previously and entitled, "Logic and Data Base Workshop." As with the earlier work shop, the meetings were conducted at the centre d'Etudes et...

This is the third book devoted to theoretical issues in data bases that we have edited. Each book has been the outgrowth of papers held at a workshop in Toulouse, France. The first workshop, held in 1977 focused primarily on the important topic of logic and databases. The book, Logic and Databases was the result of this effort. The diverse uses of logic for databases such as its use as a theoretical basis for databases, for deduction and for integ rity constraints formulation and checking was described in the chapters of the book. The interest generated by the first workshop led to the deci...

Mathematical logic provides a conceptual framework for many different areas of science. It has been recognized recently that logic is also significant for data bases. To focus on this impor- tant topic, a group of researchers met at a workshop in Toulouse, France on November 16-18, 1977. The workshop was held at the Centre d'Etudes et de Recherches de L'Ecole Nationale Superieure de L'Aeronautique et de L'Espace de Toulouse (C. E. R. T. ). We are pleased to acknowledge the financial support received from the Direction des Recherches, Etudes et Techniques d'Armenent (D. R. E. T) and from C. E....
