Queries with Guarded Negation
Summary: Introduces GN-SQL and GN-Datalog, restricting negation to conditions guarded by a co-occurring database record. Captures much practical SQL negation while restoring decidability and tractability for containment, evaluation, open-world answering, and boundedness. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
