Abstract

We show that a form of divide and conquer recursion on sets together with the relational algebra expresses exactly the queries over ordered relational databases which are NC-computable. At a finer level, we relate k nested uses of recursion exactly to ACk, k≥1. We also give corresponding results for complex objects.
