Abstract
An analysis of database transactions in the presence of database integrity constraints can lead to several modes of feedback to transaction designers. The different kinds of feedback include tests and updates that could be added to the transaction to make it obey the integrity constraints, as well as predicates representing post-conditions guaranteed by a transaction's execution. We discuss the various modes, meanings, and uses of feedback. We also discuss methods of generating feedback from integrity constraints, transaction details and theorems constituting both generic knowledge of database systems and specific knowledge about a particular database. Our methods are based on a running system that generates tailored theories about database systems from their schemas and uses these theories to prove that transactions obey integrity constraints.
