AB We propose a model of network management functions as
data-manipulation operations.  We argue that this approach can
improve the flexibility of network management systems by
providing a language of specifying statistical-tests, alerts, and
correlation among alerts that is interactive, declarative, and
set-oriented.  These are properties of existing data-manipulation
languages, and we show that any data-manipulation language,
augmented with several new capabilities precisely defined in the
paper, can serve as a language for specifying the aforementioned
network management functions.
