Complexity of Query Processing in Databases with OR-Objects
Summary: Complete syntactic characterization of CoNP-complete versus PTIME conjunctive queries over OR-Databases, enabling complexity-aware schema and query-design. Extending this classification to disjunctive queries (negation on base predicates) would settle Graph Isomorphism's complexity. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
