Safety and Translation of Calculus Queries with Scalar Functions (Extended Abstract)
Summary: Presents a calculus framework allowing scalar functions in relational-calculus queries via embedded (bounded-depth) domain independence and finiteness dependencies (FinDs) that express how function-bearing subformulas bound variable ranges. Translates pointwise scalar-function queries to a Heraclitus-subset algebra, proves safety/domain-independence by adapting a van Gelder–Topor algorithm, and introduces succinct reduced covers for FinDs to streamline translation and integration.
