We consider the problem of retrieving consistent answers over databases that might be inconsistent with respect to some given integrity constraints. In particular, we concentrate o...
A common technique for improving performance for database query retrieval is to decluster the database among multiple disks so that retrievals can be parallelized. In this paper we...
We study the problem of rewriting queries using views in the presence of access patterns, integrity constraints, disjunction, and negation. We provide asymptotically optimal algori...
We formulate and study a privacy guarantee to data owners, who share information with clients by publishing views of a proprietary database. The owner identifies the sensitive pro...
We present a formal analysis of the database layout problem, i.e., the problem of determining how database objects such as tables and indexes are assigned to disk drives. Optimizin...
