Cost-Based Optimization for Magic: Algebra and Implementation
Magic sets rewriting is a well-known optimization heuristic for complex decision-support queries. There can be many variants of this rewriting even for a single query, which diffe...

Materialized View Maintenance and Integrity Constraint Checking: Trading Space for Time
We investigate the problem of incremental maintenance of an SQL view in the face of database updates, and show that it is possible to reduce the total time cost of view maintenanc...

Improved Histograms for Selectivity Estimation of Range Predicates
Many commercial database systems maintain histograms to summarize the contents of relations and permit efficient estimation of query result sizes and access plan costs. Although s...

Query Execution Techniques for Caching Expensive Methods
Object-Relational and Object-Oriented DBMSs allow users to invoke time-consuming ("expensive") methods in their queries. When queries containing these expensive methods a...

Implementing Data Cubes Efficiently
Decision support applications involve complex queries on very large databases. Since response times should be small, query optimization is critical. Users typically view the data ...

The Dangers of Replication and a Solution
: Update anywhere-anytime-anyway transactional replication has unstable behavior as the workload scales up: a ten-fold increase in nodes and traffic gives a thousand fold increase ...

Bifocal Sampling for Skew-Resistant Join Size Estimation
This paper introduces bifocal sampling, a new technique for estimating the size of an equi-join of two relations. Bifocal sampling classi es tuples in each relation into two group...
