It serves to define the least fixed point semantics, and is known to be complete [Lloyd 84] While the strategy is reasonably efficient when the query does not contain instantiated variables [Bancilhon 85] this example shows that it is very inefficient when bindings for some variables are given in the query. The reason is that it computes the complete anc relation and then applies selection to it. Thus, all ancestors are computed, even though only the ancestors of john are needed. A ....
