Using Integrity Constraints to Provide Intensional Answers to Relational Queries

Summary: Generates intensional query answers by propagating integrity-constraint definitions through meta-relations and extended relational operators. Alongside tuples, returns applicable constraints and database views contained in the extensional result, exposing its structure. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
