On the Recognition and Design of Acyclic Databases
Summary: Characterize a schema's acyclicity degree via a 'pruning predicate' — a leaf-like property holding for a nonempty set of relation schemes that can be recursively eliminated. Yields a pruning algorithm to compute acyclicity degree and incremental design rules to preserve it. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
