Completeness of Queries over Incomplete Databases
Summary: Formalizes completeness reasoning over incomplete databases via table-completeness (TC) and query-completeness (QC) statements. Characterizes TC→QC entailment, weakest completeness preconditions, complexity across query languages, and links QC entailment to query determinacy. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
