An Amateur's Introduction to Recursive Query Processing Strategies
Summary: Survey and comparison of recursive query processing strategies for Horn-clause queries in relational DBs, limited to evaluable predicates without function symbols. Presents a framework: characterize strategies, ranges, examples, and analytical performance via cost curves and closed-form solutions. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
