Without explicitly saying so, this article identifies deductive databases with datalog. However, there is a case for arguing that deductive databases, viewed historically, are more general than datalog, because they allow function symbols.

It would probably be better to merge the relevant parts of this article into the article on datalog.Compulogger (talk) 06:01, 17 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
