Towards an Efficient Evaluation of General Queries: Quantifier and Disjunction Processing Revisited
Summary: Relational-algebra approach to quantified/disjunctive queries, avoiding non-algebraic methods. Two-phase: canonical form; translate with complement-join, universal-quantifier algebra, and constrained outer-joins; yields competitive efficiency. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
