Since the reform and opening up, China's economic rapid development. Energy, transportation, communications and other infrastructure buildings have an urgent requirement, but it is difficult to rely on government finance to meet the demand, so we must broaden the investment and financing channels, and BOT model is one of the best. As a foreign investment and private capital to build infrastructure...
Many queries about real databases have a particular form, e.g., the negated part consists of one single literal or they contain just a single binary relation, etc. For a particular class of queries, it is useful to construct algorithms for the containment problem, that are better than those for the whole class of queries. The paper is about the problem of query containment for conjunctive queries...
