Systems designed for efficient retrieval of conventional data can be very inefficient at retrieving documents. Documents have more complex structure than conventional data, and th...
This paper describes the implementation of a set-oriented database production rule language proposed in earlier papers. Our implementation uses the extensibility features of the St...

Recent work on parallel joins and data skew has concentrated on algorithm design without considering the causes and chara.cteristics of data. skew itself. Existming ana.lyt,ic mod...

In this paper we present a technique to optimize queries on deductive databases that use aggregate operations such as min, max, and “largest Ic values.” Our approach is based ...
Queries in object-oriented datab;Lqcs are formulated against a class and retrieve instnnccls of the class sat,isfying a certain predicate on the att,riblltes of the class. The pre...
In this paper we describe a rule-based approach to semantic specification that can be used to establish semantic agreement between a source and receiver. Query processing techniqu...
We propose a two-pha.se algorithm for physical database design. In phase one the algorithm, for each logical query, losesrules to determine characteristics of a physical design (s...
We introduce a persistentfunctional languagecalled PFL which adapts functional programming to the area of deductive databases,much as logic-based deductive databaselanguagesadapt ...
