Sorry to nit pick the nit pick :-) but the "and is the approach traditionally used by database systems" does not read, to me, clearly as to which of negation by failure or logical negation, it is referring to.  Database negation (SQL EXISTS, SQL MINUS) is negation by failure; logic databases may have a logic-based negation.
