Abstract

Stratified Datalog with integer (gap)-order (or Datalog ¬,z ) is considered. A Datalog ¬,z -program is said to be safe if its bottom-up processing terminates on all valid inputs. We prove that safe Datalog ¬,z programs do not have effective syntax in the sense that there is no recursively enumerable set S of safe Datalog ¬,z programs such that every safe Datalog ¬,z program is equivalent to a program in S.
