XSB as an Efficient Deductive Database Engine
Summary: XSB uses tabling to Prolog for an in-memory deductive DB, enabling stratified Datalog with polynomial data complexity. HiLog modeling, improved indexing, and a WAM-backed implementation deliver performance; non-stratified programs use a meta-interpreter. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
