We introduce the framework of polyhedral branching systems that can be used in order to construct extended formulations for polyhedra by combining extended formulations for other p...
XML and XQuery semantics are very sensitive to the order of the produced output. Although pattern-tree based algebraic approaches are becoming more and more popular for evaluating...
This paper addresses the problem of evaluating ranked top-? queries with expensive predicates. As major DBMSs now all support expensive user-defined predicates for Boolean queries...
Output-sensitive data structures result from preprocessing n items and are capable of reporting the items satisfying an on-line query in O(t(n) + ℓ) time, where t(n) is the cost ...
Complex database queries require the use of memory-intensive operators like sort and hashjoin. Those operators need memory, also referred to as SQL memory, to process their input ...
