Reasoning about Strings in Databases
Summary: Alignment logic: a modal extension of relational calculus modeling relations of Sigma*-strings as 2D alignments with a 'slide' modality and multitape two‑way automata for string matching. Extends relational algebra with automata-based selection, identifies a decidable boundedness fragment, and shows fragments capture regular languages, PH, and full Turing power.
