Since its inception, the PROV standard has been widely adopted as a standardized exchange format for provenance information. Surprisingly, this standard is currently not supported by provenance-aware database systems limiting their interoperability with other provenance-aware systems. In this work we introduce techniques for exporting database provenance as PROV documents, importing PROV graphs alongside data, and linking outputs of an SQL operation to the imported provenance for its inputs. Our implementation in the GProM system offloads generation of PROV documents to the backend database. This implementation enables provenance tracking for applications that use a relational database for managing (part of) their data, but also execute some non-database operations.
