Synopsis

This book presents a novel query language that draws from first-order temporal logic and Datalog, implemented and analyzed within a framework of ever-changing databases. The author integrates these concepts into a unified theoretical approach to database theory, extending conventional theories to encompass queries expressed in the language of first-order temporal logic. The book delves deeply into the relative expressive powers of temporal logic queries and Datalog queries for both pure and negated Datalog applications with inary semantics, illustrating the advantages of temporal logic and Datalog queries over conventional database theory and demonstrating the unique insights offered by these languages.
