Magic Functions : A Technique To Optimize Extended Datalog Recursive Programs
Summary: MAGIC FUNCTIONS: a generalized method to optimize Datalog recursive programs via fixpoint functional equations solved with Tarski's theorem. Key novelty: push selections through recursion, support non-binary and cyclic rules with function symbols, and directly generate optimized relational algebra with symbolic pruning and range queries.
