This paper presents the specification and proposed implementation of a rules system for a relational data base manager. The motivation for this proposal is the fact that integrity constraints, protection, triggers, alerters, and views are ALL examples of special purpose rules systems. We suggest that all five services can be obtained in one unified way through a single rules system.
