Programming Views for Mobile Database Clients

Within a database mobile environment, cached data on mobile clients can take the form of materialized views. In order to e ciently maintain such materialized views while taking into consideration disconnected operations, in this paper, we present the view holder, a mechanism within the xed network that maintains versions of views. Further, we propose an extension to SQL that enables the programming of the view holders by the mobile clients based on their preferences and capabilities and discuss their implementation.
