The Data Complexity of Consistent Query Answering for Self-Join-Free Conjunctive Queries Under Primary Key Constraints

Summary: Effective complexity classification of CERTAINTY(q) for self-join-free Boolean conjunctive queries under primary-key constraints: FO-membership decidable and an effective P vs coNP-complete dichotomy. Settles a decade-old open problem by combining and extending prior techniques. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
