Towards Bridging the Expressiveness Gap Between Relational and Deductive Databases
نویسنده
چکیده
SQL technology has evolved during last years, and systems are being more powerful and scalable. However, there exist yet some expressiveness limitations that can be otherwise overcome with inputs from deductive databases. This paper focuses on both practical and theoretical expressiveness issues in current SQL implementations that are overcome in the Datalog Educational System (DES), a deductive system which also includes extended SQL queries with respect to the SQL standard and current DBMS’s. Also, as external database access and interoperability are allowed in DES, results from the deductive field can be tested on current DBMS’s. For instance: Less-limited SQL formulations as non-linear recursive queries, novel features as hypothetical queries, and other query languages as Datalog and Extended Relational Algebra. In addition, some notes on performance are taken.

Non-commutativity and Expressive Deductive Logic Databases
The procedural semantics of multi-adjoint logic programming is used for providing a model-theoretic semantics for a data model. A translation method for deductive logic databases is presented for obtaining a relational algebra with classical projection and enriched parametric join operator with aggregations. The use of non-commutative conjunctors allows for a model of different degrees of granu...

Business processes in modern enterprises require interlinking critical business information distributed across structured and unstructured data sources. This interlinking process is often initiated by a users’ informational need represented as a keyword query, either created manually by the user or automatically extracted from an unstructured document. Although keyword queries possess high usab...

There have been many proposals for extensions of relational databases. It can be considered that two major streams of them are DDBs and OODBs. Research on fusion or integration of their advantages has been being done at the forefront of research on database and logic programming. For the target, the rst international conference on deductive and object-oriented databases (DOOD89) was held in Kyo...

This commentary addresses Bowen et al’s empirical study of perspectives of Canadian healthcare staff towards research and their call for multi-faceted action to improve misalignments in the system. This commentary argues that tensions and misalignments between research and service are inherent and can never be eradicated. Building on previous work by Lanham et al, I pro...
