Abstract
The conventional use of databases is commonly restricted to the retrieval of factual data in the form of tuples or records. However most databases also contain metadata in the form of integrity rules which can provide a rich source of additional information not normally available to the user. Integrity rules define what data values and relationships may exist within the database and so their interrogation can provide answers as to whether a certain database state is possible. Our paper describes how this may be achieved and specifies a formal approach to implementing such an enquiry system.
