Certain Query Answering in Partially Consistent Databases

Summary: Uncertain databases with dependencies: CERTAINTY(q, Sigma) asks if every repair satisfies an acyclic, self-join-free CQ q under Sigma (FDs + a restricted join dependency). An algorithm decides whether CERTAINTY(q, Sigma) is first-order expressible and, if possible, outputs its FO definition. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
