An estimation algorithm for a query is a probabilistic algorithm that computes an approximation for the size (number of tuples) of the query. One class of estimation algorithms us...
We consider spatial databases in the plane that can be defined by polynomial constraint formulas. Motivated by applications in geographic information systems, we investigate line...
The problem of query containment is fundamental to many aspects of database systems, including query optimization, determining independence of queries from updates, and rewriting ...
We study the problem of auditing databases which support statistical sum queries to protect the security of sensitive information; we focus on the special case in which the sensit...
