Recording Provenance for SQL Queries and Updates

Year: 2007

Type: article

Abstract: Knowing the origin of data (i.e., where the data was copied or created from)---its provenance---is vital for assessing the \ntrustworthiness of contemporary scientific databases such as UniProt and SWISS-PROT. \nUnfortunately, provenance information must currently be recorded manually, by added effort of the database maintainer. Since such maintenance is tedious and error-prone, it is desirable to provide support for recording provenance in the database system itself. We \nreview a recent proposal for incorporating such support, as well as its theoretical properties.
