In the two and a half years since the frrst edition of this book
was published, the field of logic programming has grown rapidly.
Consequently, it seemed advisable to try to expand the subject
matter covered in the first edition. The new material in the second
edition has a strong database flavour, which reflects my own
research interests over the last three years. However, despite the
fact that the second edition has about 70% more material than the
first edition, many worthwhile topic!! are still missing. I can
only plead that the field is now too big to expect one author to
cover everything. In the second edition, I discuss a larger class
of programs than that discussed in the first edition. Related to
this, I have also taken the opportunity to try to improve some of
the earlier terminology. Firstly, I introduce "program statements",
which are formulas of the form A+-W, where the head A is an atom
and the body W is an arbitrary formula. A "program" is a finite set
of program statements. There are various restrictions of this
class. "Normal" programs are ones where the body of each program
statement is a conjunction of literals. (The terminology "general",
used in the first edition, is obviously now inappropriate).
