Understanding Queries by Conditional Instances
Summary: Introduces conditional instances to illustrate query satisfaction, abstracting irrelevant data. Undecidability is shown for general domain calculus; practical algorithms compute a minimal, complete set of instances, enabling query debugging. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
