Order is essential for XML query processing. Efficient XML processing with order consideration over relational storage is non-trivial, especially for complex nested XQuery expressi...
— XQuery, the defacto XML query language, is a functional language with operational semantics, which precludes the direct application of classical query optimization techniques. ...
We address the extension of the binary search technique from sorted arrays and totally ordered sets to trees and tree-like partially ordered sets. As in the sorted array case, the...
The emergence of database languages with side effects, notably for XML, raises significant challenges for database compilers and optimizers. In this paper, we extend an algebra fo...
Abstract. We study the following one-dimensional range reporting problem: On an array A of n elements, support queries that given two indices i ≤ j and an integer k report the k ...
