Magic-sets Transformation in Nonrecursive Systems
Summary: Algorithms to apply magic-sets (and its supplementary variant) in nonrecursive DBMSs while guaranteeing the transformed program remains nonrecursive. Introduces covered-subgoal elimination to drop subgoals and sometimes convert recursive queries into equivalent nonrecursive ones. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
