It is very powerful, and can be used for many things + such as query language procedures, views, and versions. The + theoretical foundations and the power of this rule system are + also discussed in <a class="xref" href="biblio.html#STON90B">[ston90b]</a> and <a class="xref" href="biblio.html#ONG90">[ong90]</a>. +</p></div><div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/transitional" class="navfooter"><hr></hr><table width="100%" summary="Navigation footer"><tr><td width="40%" align="left"><a accesskey="p" href="event-trigger-table-rewrite-example.html" title="40.5.
