Valued constraint satisfaction problems (VCSPs) constitute a large class of computational optimization problems. It was shown recently that, over finite domains, every VCSP is in P or NP-complete, depending on the admitted cost functions. In this article, we study cost functions over countably infinite domains whose automorphisms form an oligomorphic permutation group. Our results include a hardness condition based on a generalization of pp-constructability as known from classical CSPs and a polynomial-time tractability condition based on the concept of fractional polymorphisms. We then observe that the resilience problem for unions of conjunctive queries (UCQs) studied in database theory, under bag semantics, may be viewed as a special case of the VCSPs that we consider. We obtain a complexity dichotomy for the case of incidence-acyclic UCQs and exemplarily use our methods to determine the complexity of a conjunctive query that has been stated as an open problem in the literature. We conjecture that our hardness and tractability conditions match for resilience problems for UCQs. Further, we obtain a complete dichotomy for resilience problems for two-way regular path queries, under bag semantics.
