Given a consistent knowledge base formed by a set of constraints, efficient query answering (e.g., checking whether a set of constraints is consistent with the knowledge base or necessarily true in it) is practically very important. In the paper we consider bounds on differences (which are an import
We revisit the issue of the complexity of database queries, in the light of the recent parametric refinement of complexity theory. We show that, if the query size (or the number of variables in the query) is considered as a parameter, then the relational calculus and its fragments (conjunctive queri
