Functional dependencies (FDs) are an integral part of database theory since they are used in integrity enforcement and in database design. Recently, functional dependencies satisï¬...
In a context considering in a unique framework all the relations in a database, by means of the notion of global consistency, independent database schemes allow enforcement of con...

Conjunctive query (CQ) evaluation on relational databases is NP-complete in general. Several restrictions, like bounded tree-width and bounded hypertree-width, allow polynomial ti...
For semantic query optimization one needs detailed knowledgeabout the contents of the database. Traditional techniquesuse static knowledgeabout all possible states of the database...
