Optimizing Existential Datalog Queries
Summary: Defines existential subqueries in function-free Datalog with a syntactic test and rule rewrites that expose them for cut-like pruning in bottom-up evaluation. Uses projection-pushing to remove arguments in recursive rules and to detect redundant rules. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
