Generating Plans from Proofs: The Interpolation-based Approach to Query Reformulation - Synthesis Lectures on Data Management Michael Benedikt

Query reformulation refers to a process of translating a source query into a target plan that abides by certain interface restrictions. Many practical problems in data management can be seen as instances of the reformulation problem. This book approaches query reformulation in a very general setting that encompasses these problems, by relating it to a line of research within mathematical logic.
