We show how structured data stored in files can benefit from standard database technology and in particular be queried and updated using database languages. We introduce the notio...
The typical workload in a database system consists of a mixture of multiple queries of different types, running concurrently and interacting with each other. Hence, optimizing perf...
The ability to provide accurate and efficient result estimations of user queries is very important for the query optimizer in database systems. In this paper, we show that the tra...
A relational database often yields a large set of tuples as the result of a query. Users browse this result set to find the information they require. If the result set is large, ...
Probabilistic databases hold promise of being a viable means for large-scale uncertainty management, increasingly needed in a number of real world applications domains. However, q...
