Abstract. We are interested in the theoretical foundations of the optimization of conjunctive regular path queries (CRPQs). The basic problem here is deciding query containment bot...
Query containment is the most fundamental relationship between a pair of database queries: a query Q is said to be contained in a query Q if the answer for Q is always a subset of...
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...

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...
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...
