Compilation-based list processing in deductive databases

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contribution

Abstract

List functions occur frequently in deductive database applications. We study efficient evaluation of linear recursions with list functions in deductive databases. Since most linear recursions can be compiled into chain forms, a chain-based query evaluation method is developed, which selects an efficient query evaluation algorithm based on the analysis of compiled forms and finiteness, termination and query constraints. Interesting techniques, such as chain-split, existence checking and constraint-based evaluation, are developed to improve the performance. Moreover, chain-based evaluation can be generalized to the complex recursions compilable to chain forms.
