Abstract: This paper introduces a new design methodology, Complexity Tailored Design, for databases containing
incomplete information. The novelty of the approach is that it introduces query complexity
as a consideration in database design. In general, the problem of evaluating queries in databases
with incomplete information is intractable. Complexity Tailored Design consists in setting the values
of database design parameters so as to guarantee the efficient (polynomial time) evaluability
of selected... (Update)

...stops, without producing the whole normal form. Yet another idea is complexity tailored design of Imielinski, van der Meyden and Vadaparty [16] when queries are forced to run in polynomial time by, for instance, obtaining additional information about some of the or sets, thus...
.... The need for distinguishing two classes of queries against databases with disjunctive information is known in the literature, cf. [9, 10, 12, 16]. Queries that ask questions about the representation of possible worlds are called structural, whereas conceptual queries ask...
