The problem of nding the best answers to a query quickly, rather than nding all answers, is of increasing importance as relational databases are applied in multimedia and decision...
The number of documents published via WWW in form of SGML/HTML has been rapidly growing for years. Efficient, declarative access mechanisms for this type of documents
The spatial query has been processed in two steps, the filter step and the refinement step, due to a large volume and high complexity of the spatial data. However, this approach h...

Rewriting queries using views is a powerful technique that has applications in query optimization, data integration, data warehousing etc. Query rewriting in relational databases ...
Current relational databases require that a database schema exist prior to data entry and require manual optimization for best performance. We describe the query optimization tech...

Both semantic and type-based query optimization rely on the idea that queries often exhibit non-trivial rewritings if the state space of the database is restricted. Despite their ...

As the popularity of XML keeps growing rapidly, XML compliant structured document management becomes an interesting and compelling research area. Query optimization for structured...
— Research on query optimization has traditionally focused on exhaustive enumeration of an exponential number of candidate plans. Alternatively, heuristics for query optimization...
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...
Abstract. Query reformulation techniques based on semantic knowledge have been used in two ways in database management systems, namely for query optimization and for data integrati...
