Complexity of Answering Queries Using Materialized Views

Summary: Studies complexity of answering queries using materialized views when view/query languages extend beyond conjunctive (CQ+inequality, positive, Datalog, FO). Proves complexity depends critically on whether materialized views are assumed complete or may be partial, with consequences for view consistency and self‑maintainability.
