An Improved Algorithm for Generating Database Transactions from Relational Algebra Specifications (1003.5350v1)
Published 28 Mar 2010 in cs.DB, cs.LO, and cs.PL
Abstract: Alloy is a lightweight modeling formalism based on relational algebra. In prior work with Fisler, Giannakopoulos, Krishnamurthi, and Yoo, we have presented a tool, Alchemy, that compiles Alloy specifications into implementations that execute against persistent databases. The foundation of Alchemy is an algorithm for rewriting relational algebra formulas into code for database transactions. In this paper we report on recent progress in improving the robustness and efficiency of this transformation.
