Spatial Database Management Systems (SDBMS), e.g., Geographical Information Systems, that manage spatial objects such as points, lines, and hyper-rectangles, often have very high ...
Remote data access from disparate sources across a widearea network such as the Internet is problematic due to the unpredictable nature of the communications medium and the lack o...
Efficient processing of aggregation queries is essential for decision support applications. This paper describes a class of query transformations, called eager aggregation and lat...
Abstract. In this paper we deal with the problem of finding an optimal query execution plan in database systems. We improve the analysis of a polynomial-time approximation algorit...
In this work, we present a semantic query optimization technique to improve the efficiency of the evaluation of a subset of SQL:1999 recursive queries. Using datalog notation, we c...
