I'm looking for a canonical form for query. The closest paper on the subject I found is: "P. Kanellakis. Elements of Relational Database Theory" where he demonstrates that there exists a canonical form for stratified Datalog queries. I assume that there is extensive research on canonical forms for relational calculus queries.

Appreciate your references. Received on Thu Jul 12 2001 - 19:29:40 CEST
