Abstract
In some examples, a system determines whether a chain of functions violates a constraint, based on accessing a tracking structure populated with entries as the functions are invoked by respective server processes launched during execution of a database operation, where each entry of the entries of the tracking structure identifies a respective invoked function that is associated with a corresponding program instance, and detecting, using the tracking structure, related functions that form the chain, the related functions being identified as related if associated with a same program instance. In response to determining that the chain of the functions violates the constraint, the system blocks an invocation of a further function to be added to the chain.
