The Inference Problem for Template Dependencies
Summary: Template dependencies: integrity constraints stipulating that whenever tuples agree on certain attributes an additional agreeing tuple must exist. Proves implication/inference for template dependencies undecidable (no algorithm for logical consequence from a finite set), holds under both finite and unrestricted database semantics.
