To globally optimize execution plans for XQuery expressions, a plan generator must generate and compare plan alternatives. In proven compiler architectures, the unit of plan genera...
imizer Communication using Abstract Plans in Sybase ASE Query optimizers are error prone, due to both their nature and the increased search space that modern query processing requ...
We propose a new method for proving lower bounds on quantum query algorithms. Instead of a classical adversary that runs the algorithm with one input and then modifies the input,...
This paper focuses on an aspect that is widely neglected in native XML database management systems: support for concurrent transactional access. We analyze the isolation requireme...
PIVOT and UNPIVOT, two operators on tabular data that exchange rows and columns, enable data transformations useful in data modeling, data analysis, and data presentation. They ca...
