    Abstract

    This paper resolves the main open question left by Gottlob, Lee, and Valiant
    (PODS 2009)[GLV09], establishing tight worst-case bounds for the size of the
    result Q(D) of a conjunctive query Q to a database D given an arbitrary set of
    functional dependencies. We show that the lower bound presented in [GLV09] in
    which the variables of the query are "colored" so as to yield a coloring number
    C(Q) for each query Q is, in fact, also an upper bound.
