Applications of Alfred Tarski’s Ideas in Database Theory

Lecture Notes in Computer Science, 2001
Many ideas of Alfred Tarski - one of the founders of modern logic - find application in database theory. We survey some of them with no attempt at comprehensiveness. Topics discussed include the genericity of database queries; the relational algebra, the Tarskian definition of truth for the relational calculus, and cylindric algebras; relation algebras

Alfred Tarski and decidable theories

The Journal of Symbolic Logic, 1988
Any list of Alfred Tarski's achievements would mention his decision procedure for real-closed fields. He proved a number of other less publicized decidability results too. We shall survey these results. After surveying them we shall ask what Tarski had in mind when he proved them.
