Hi,
	Does anyone know / remember where the 'logical update view' of the
Prolog database stemmed from. For use with assert/retract predicates.
Obviously it is what we want but how did we get it?
	Any good references to Prolog texts describing it to first-timers
would also be apreciated.

Andrew

See T.G. Lindholm and R.A. O'Keefe: "Efficient implementation of a
defensible semantics for dynamic Prolog code" in J.-L. Lassez (ed.):
Logic Programming: Proceedings of the Fourth International Conference, Vol. 1.

The idea and terminology was introduced in "Efficient Implementation of a
Defensible Semantics for Dynamic Prolog Code", by Richard O'Keefe and I,
in the Proceedings of the Fourth International Conference on Logic
Programming, published by the MIT Press.  The presentation in that paper
motivates the idea and develops the implementation from a "vanilla" WAM.
It should be accessible to anyone who knows how a WAM works.
