Abstract

Practical contexts for constraint satisfaction problems (CSP) often involve large relational databases. The recent proposal by Cadoli and Mancini, CONSQL, shows that a simple extension to SQL provides a viable basis for modeling CSP [1]. This enables the transparent integration of CSP solvers with databases using SQL --- the most widely known and popular database language, and opens the possibility for making the power of CSP technology accessible to SQL knowledgeable users.
