There exists a need for high performance, read-only mainmemory database systems for OLAP-style application scenarios. Most of the existing works in this area are centered around t...
Database queries can be broadly classified into two categories: reporting queries and aggregation queries. The former retrieves a collection of records from the database that mat...
In this work, we present a semantic query optimization technique to improve the efficiency of the evaluation of a subset of SQL:1999 recursive queries. Using datalog notation, we c...
We consider query optimization techniques for data intensive P2P applications. We show how to adapt an old technique from deductive databases, namely Query-Sub-Query (QSQ), to a s...
Abstract. The chase procedure, an algorithm proposed 25+ years ago to fix constraint violations in database instances, has been successfully applied in a variety of contexts, such ...
