Constant Delay Enumeration for Conjunctive Queries
Résumé
We survey some of the recent results about enumerating the answers to queries
over a database. We focus on the case where the
enumeration is performed with a constant delay between any two consecutive
solutions, after a linear time preprocessing.
This cannot be always achieved. It requires restricting either the class of
queries or the class of databases.
We consider conjunctive queries and describe several scenarios when this is
possible.
