Abstract

We consider the problem of query containment for conjunctive queries with safe negation property. A necessary and sufficient condition for two queries to be in containment relation is given. Using this condition a class of queries is emphasized and a characterization of containment problem for this class using certain maximal sets is specified. The time complexity of containment problem for this class of queries is studied.
