Most of today's structured data is stored in relational databases. Such a database consists of multiple relations which are linked together conceptually via entity-relationsh...
We show how to efficiently evaluate generic map-filter-product queries, generalizations of select-project-join (SPJ) queries in relational algebra, based on a combination of two...
