Abstract Text The result of a temporal-probabilistic (TP) join with negation includes, at each time point, the probability with which a tuple of a positive relation p matches none of the tuples in a negative relation n, for a given join condition θ. TP outer and anti joins thus resemble the characteristics of relational outer and anti joins also in the case when there exist time points at which input tuples from p have non-zero probabilities to be true and input tuples from n have non-zero probabilities to be false, respectively. For the computation of TP joins with negation, we introduce generalized lineage-aware temporal windows, a mechanism that binds an output interval to the lineages of all the matching valid tuples of each input relation. We group the windows of two TP relations into three disjoint sets based on the way attributes, lineage expressions and intervals are produced. We compute all windows in an incremental manner, and we show that pipelined computations allow for the direct integration of our approach into PostgreSQL. We thereby alleviate the prevalent redundancies in the interval computations of existing approaches, which is proven by an extensive experimental evaluation with real-world datasets.
