The implication problem of data dependencies over SQL table definitions: axiomatic, algorithmic and logical characterizations

S Hartmann, S Link - ACM Transactions on Database Systems (TODS), 2012 - dl.acm.org
We investigate the implication problem for classes of data dependencies over SQL table
definitions. Under Zaniolo's “no information” interpretation of null markers we establish an …

Design by example for SQL table definitions with functional dependencies

S Hartmann, M Kirchberg, S Link - The VLDB Journal, 2012 - Springer
A database is C-Armstrong for a given set of constraints in a class C if it satisfies every
constraint of the set and violates every constraint in C not implied by the set. Therefore …

Efficient reasoning about a robust XML key fragment

S Hartmann, S Link - ACM Transactions on Database Systems (TODS), 2009 - dl.acm.org
We review key constraints in the context of XML as introduced by Buneman et al. We
demonstrate that:(1) one of the proposed inference rules is not sound in general, and (2) the …

Empirical evidence for the usefulness of Armstrong relations in the acquisition of meaningful functional dependencies

WD Langeveldt, S Link - Information Systems, 2010 - Elsevier
Armstrong relations satisfy precisely those data dependencies that are implied by a given
set of data dependencies. A common perception is that Armstrong relations are useful in the …

On Codd families of keys over incomplete relations

S Hartmann, U Leck, S Link - The Computer Journal, 2011 - academic.oup.com
Keys allow a database management system to uniquely identify tuples in a database.
Consequently, the class of keys is of great significance for almost all data processing tasks …

Possibilistic functional dependencies and their relationship to possibility theory

S Link, H Prade - IEEE Transactions on Fuzzy Systems, 2015 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
This paper introduces possibilistic functional dependencies. These dependencies are
associated with a particular possibility distribution over possible worlds of a classical …

Characterisations of multivalued dependency implication over undetermined universes

S Link - Journal of Computer and System Sciences, 2012 - Elsevier
In relational databases the original definition of a multivalued dependency is dependent on
the underlying relation schema. In this context, the implication of multivalued dependencies …

Numerical constraints on XML data

S Hartmann, S Link - Information and Computation, 2010 - Elsevier
Boundaries occur naturally in everyday life. This paper introduces numerical constraints into
the framework of XML to take advantage of the benefits that result from the explicit …

When data dependencies over SQL tables meet the Logics of Paradox and S-3

S Hartmann, S Link - Proceedings of the twenty-ninth ACM SIGMOD …, 2010 - dl.acm.org
We study functional and multivalued dependencies over SQL tables with NOT NULL
constraints. Under a no-information interpretation of null values we develop tools for …
