Abstract: We extend the approach to representation of partial information based on orderings on objects from sets to multisets. We characterize orderings arising under closed- and open-world assumptions and analyze their complexity. In contrast to the set case, where orderings are first-order definable and are thus expressible in standard database query languages, the orderings on bags are not expressible in standard bag languages. We give an example of a query on nested relations whose... (Update)

...then the ordering on pairs (b; n) where b 2 B and n 2 N is the following: b; n) b 0 ; n 0 ) iff b b 0 and n = n 0 . Proposition29. see also [LW95] The binary relations E CWA and E OWA on bags are partial orders. Given two bags B 1 and B 2 , B 1 E CWA B 2 (B 1 E OWA B 2 ) iff...

...9 has a system of distinct representatives. But this is a contradiction, since it has been proven in [Libkin and Wong, 1995] that relational algebra, with an appropriate encoding of sets, cannot test whether a family of sets has a system of distinct...
