Abstract: Databases are often incomplete because of the presence of disjunctive information, due to conflicts, partial knowledge and other reasons. Queries against such databases often ask questions about various possibilities encoded by the stored data, rather than the stored data itself. Normalization, which is a mechanism for asking such queries, was presented in [LW93a]; however, it had exponential space complexity. The main goal of this paper is to develop a general theory of answering queries... (Update)

.... and or partial sets, has been investigated in depth in the context of relational and complex object databases [5, 7, 11, 14, 20, 21, 22, 28, 29, 30, 31, 39, 40]. Specific operators such as union [5] and join [7] are introduced to integrate partial information. However,...

.... report unsatisfiable in finite time if the set is indeed unsatisfiable; for satisfiable sets, however, termination cannot be guaranteed [22]. Likewise, the question whether a set of first order logical formulas is finitely satisfiable, is semi decidable: there are procedures...
