Relational and deductive databases provide basic tools for storing, querying and manipulating data. From the point of view of knowledge engineering, databases provide a fundamental layer on which other representation may be built. The choice of the underlying tools is then extremely important and seriously influences further use of the knowledge engineering techniques. In this chapter we sketch some possible choices concerning deductive database solutions. Let us start by introducing some basic definitions.
