A Dichotomy for Non-repeating Queries with Negation in Probabilistic Databases
Summary: Extends Dalvi–Suciu dichotomy to non-repeating conjunctive queries with negation over tuple-independent probabilistic DBs, showing each has either PTIME or #P-hard data complexity. Tractable cases = hierarchical queries, decidable in PTIME. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
