Abstract. One of the most severe problems related to database evolution
is how to reflect in the data level the changes that have occurred
in the conceptual schema of a database. This is specially relevant when
evolution operations affect ISA relationships. In this paper we present
our view of the evolution of ISA relationships, focusing on the artifacts
that generate the sentences for changing the data in a consistent way.
