Abstract

See full text

A method, in a data processing system, of imposing constraints on data files which are changed by update statements, includes the steps of: a) identifying a particular object of the update O.sub.x and a particular attribute being updated; b) finding an applicable constraint based on the particular attribute being updated; c) converting the particular update object O.sub.x to at least one other object which is in the applicable constraint and is different than the update object O.sub.x ; and, d) generating an error message, if after the update, the applicable constraint is not satisfied by any object from the converting step.
