Abstract

We show that for every conjunctive query, the complexity of evaluating it on a probabilistic database is either or #¶-complete, and we give an algorithm for deciding whether a given conjunctive query is or #¶-complete. The dichotomy property is a fundamental result on query evaluation on probabilistic databases and it gives a complete classification of the complexity of conjunctive queries.
