An Algebraic Approach to the Complexity of Generalized Conjunctive Queries
Kolaitis and Vardi pointed out that constraint satisfaction and conjunctive query containment are essentially the same problem. We study the Boolean conjunctive queries under a mor...

Positive higher-order queries
We investigate a higher-order query language that embeds operators of the positive relational algebra within the simply-typed λ-calculus. Our language allows one to succinctly de...

Relational Completeness of Query Languages for Annotated Databases
Annotated relational databases can be queried either by simply making the annotations explicitly available along the ordinary data, or by adapting the standard query operators so ...

Rewriting Unions of General Conjunctive Queries Using Views
The problem of finding contained rewritings of queries using views is of great importance in mediated data integration systems. In this paper, we first present a general approach f...

The Complexity of Acyclic Conjunctive Queries
This paper deals with the evaluation of acyclic Boolean conjunctive queries in relational databases. By well-known results of Yannakakis [1981], this problem is solvable in polynom...
