The problem of deciding query containment has important applications in classical query optimization and heterogeneous database systems. Query containment is undecidable for unres...
We develop a query algebra that supports efficient assertion retrieval--a natural extension of instance retrieval. The algebra is based on previously developed techniques for index...
