It is fair to say that these three volumes capture the earliest history of the area of Deductive Data- bases, and provided the initial set of problems that researchers attacked. Salient amongst this initial list of problems was that of recursive query processing, a problem that was to be addressed by a few score papers over the next years, to an extent that today it constitutes an area of research by itself.
