The LDL system provides a declarative logic-based language and integrates relational database and logic programming technologies so as to support advanced data and knowledge-based applications. This paper contains a comprehensive overview of the system and contains a description of the LDL language and the compilation techniques employed to translate LDL queries into target queries on the stored data. The paper further contains a description of the architecture and runtime environment of the

The paper concludes with an account of the experience gained so far with the system, and discusses application areas where the LDL approach appears to be particularly effective.
