This paper considers the theory of database queries on the complex value data model with external functions. Motivated by concerns regarding query evaluation, we first identify re...
For many years, finite model theory was viewed as the backbone of database theory, and database theory in turn supplied finite model theory with key motivations and problems. By n...
