Abstract: We continue our exploration of a theory of database updates (Reiter [21, 23]) based upon the situation calculus. The basic idea is to take seriously the fact that databases evolve in time, so that updatable relations should be endowed with an explicit state argument representing the current database state. Database transactions are treated as functions whose effect is to map the current database state into a successor state. The formalism is identical to that arising in the artificial... (Update)

...it was not there already. This is straightforward to model using the language that we have described already. Indeed, following Reiter [32], each database relation is modeled as a fluent. For simplicity, we eliminate fields in the relations that are not relevant for the...
