Given a set of points P and a query point q, the reverse furthest neighbor (RFN) query fetches the set of points p P such that q is their furthest neighbor among all points in P {...
Statistics play an important role in influencing the plans produced by a query optimizer. Traditionally, optimizers use statistics built over base tables and assume independence b...
III this paper we address the problem of controlling the execution of a query optimizer. We describe a control for the optimization process that is based on planning. The controll...
— Optimal location (OL) queries are a type of spatial queries particularly useful for the strategic planning of resources. Given a set of existing facilities and a set of clients...
Traditionally, optimizers are “programmed” to optimize queries following a set of buildin procedures. However, optimizers should be robust to its changing environment to gener...
