Abstract
In earlier work, we proposed an integrity constraint mechanism intended to maintain consistency in multiversion databases [6, 5]. However, we did not consider versions of integrity constraints. This paper analyses the extension of this integrity mechanism, in order to express and manage versions of constraints. To make this extension possible, we address two issues. First, we inventory the properties of constraint versions. Second, we study two solutions to represent constraint versions.
