Abstract

We consider the problem of query containment for conjunctive queries with the safe negation property. Some necessary conditions for this problem are given. A part of the necessary conditions use maximal cliques from the graphs associated to the first query. These necessary conditions improve the algorithms for the containment problem. For a class of queries a necessary and sufficient condition for containment problem is specified. Some aspects of time complexity for the conditions are discussed.
