A Superjoin Algorithm for Deductive Databases
Summary: Introduces a Superjoin algorithm for in-memory deductive and relational databases. Multi-key hashing with buffering enables scalable, faster joins on very large relations; fits naturally with top-down Prolog and allows flexible Prolog extensions. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
