Fast Methods For Testing Quantified Relational Calculus Assertions
Summary: Develops a fast evaluation algorithm for assertions produced by simplification, boosting integrity-enforcement efficiency. Defines a two-step class: per-relation simple selections followed by set-emptiness tests; extends these ideas to broader assertions. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
