Polynomial-time program transformations in deductive databases
Summary: Tight complexity dichotomy for k-containment of conjunctive queries: 2-containment in P, 3-containment NP-complete, so slight relaxations turn common program transformations NP-hard. Yields poly-time algorithms for restricted deductive-database transformations and characterizes complexity of sequencability/commutativity of linear rules, 1-boundedness in sirups, and ZYT-linearizability.
