....linear constraints are added to the relational calculus. In [2] it is shown that testing whether a constraint database is contained in a line is not definable with linear constraints. Testing whether a constraint database represents a line is not definable in first order with the order relation [3]. Parity and connectivity tests are examples of generic queries. That is, their answer does not change when a bijective map on the domain is applied to a database. It is therefore natural to pose the more general question below. The answer to this question can be applied to queries whose inputs ....
