We consider the deduction problem in the existential conjunctive fragment of first-order logic with atomic negation. This problem can be recast in terms of other database and artificial intelligence problems, namely query containment, clause entailment and boolean query answering. We refine an algorithm scheme that was proposed for query containment, which itself improves other known algorithms in databases. To study it experimentally, we build a random generator and analyze the influence of several parameters on the problem instance difficulty. Using this methodology, we experimentally compare several heuristics.
