I am looking at some DB2 performance-tuning notes where I am seeing a phrase I've not seen before. The notes speak of a test in a WHERE clause that allows a row to be definitely exluded being a "Boolean Term". The converse is referred to a non-Boolean term.

A quick Google tells me this terminology is not widely used outside DB2. Is there a more widely understood term meaning the same thing?
