Abstract

Knowledge about relation sizes for queries can be used to improve the performance of deductive database programs, e.g. to plan the order in which body goals are evaluated, or to “map” predicates to processors in distributed systems. For Horn programs, the analysis is complicated by the presence of function symbols and recursion. This paper describes an approach for statically computing upper bound estimates for relation sizes in Horn programs. The techniques axe applicable to a wide class of programs that use structural recursion.
