Abstract

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for generating identifiers for tuples of recursively defined relations. One of the methods includes selecting one or more of the recursively defined relations to evaluate. Respective keys are computed for each tuple of any new tuples computed during recursive evaluation. For each key that occurs in a cache of keys, obtaining a tuple for the key from the cache and adding the obtained tuple to a new relation. For each key that does not occur in the cache of keys, generating a new identifier for the key, and adding, to a new relation for each key of each tuple of any keys that do not occur in the cache of keys for a relation, a new tuple comprising (1) elements of the tuple and (2) the new identifier for the key.
