The problem of deciding query containment has important applications in classical query optimization and heterogeneous database systems. Query containment is undecidable for unres...
The class of unions of conjunctive queries (UCQ) has been shown to be particularly well-behaved for data exchange; its certain answers can be computed in polynomial time (in terms...
The problem of query containment is fundamental to many aspects of database systems, including query optimization, determining independence of queries from updates, and rewriting ...
