An Enhanced Inference Mechanism for Generating Relational Algebra Queries
Summary: Proposes a Prolog→relational-algebra interface that generates RA queries via deferred evaluation and automatically manages least-fixed-point (LFP) queries, bridging recursive logic programs to relational plans. Adds an optimization to eliminate redundant relations and outlines empirical evaluation toward a knowledge-base driven development support system. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
