Query evaluation techniques for large databases

by Goetz Graefe - ACM COMPUTING SURVEYS , 1993
"... Database management systems will continue to manage large data volumes. Thus, efficient algorithms for accessing and manipulating large sets and sequences will be required to provide acceptable performance. The advent of object-oriented and extensible database systems will not solve this problem. On ..."
Abstract - Cited by 767 (11 self) - Add to MetaCart
is essential for the designer of database management software. This survey provides a foundation for the design and implementation of query execution facilities in new database management systems. It describes a wide array of practical query evaluation techniques for both relational and post-relational

Answering Queries Using Views: A Survey

by Alon Y. Halevy , 2000
"... The problem of answering queries using views is to find efficient methods of answering a query using a set of previously defined materialized views over the database, rather than accessing the database relations. The problem has recently received significant attention because of its relevance to a w ..."

Parallel database systems: the future of high performance database systems

by David J. Dewitt, Jim Gray - COMMUNICATIONS OF THE ACM , 1992
"... Parallel database machine architectures have evolved from the use of exotic hardware to a software parallel dataflow architecture based on conventional shared-nothing hardware. These new designs provide impressive speedup and scaleup when processing relational database queries. This paper reviews t ..."

The design of Postgres

by Michael Stonebraker, Lawrence A. Rowe - In Proceedings of the SIGMOD Conference , 1986
"... This paper presents the preliminary design of a new database management system, called POSTGRES, that is the successor to the INGRES relational database system. The main design goals of the new system are to: 1) provide better support for complex objects, 2) provide user extendibility for data types ..."

Querying the Internet with PIER

by Ryan Huebsch, Joseph M. Hellerstein, Nick Lanham, Boon Thau Loo, Scott Shenker, Ion Stoica - IN VLDB , 2003
"... The database research community prides itself on scalable technologies. Yet database systems traditionally do not excel on one important scalability dimension: the degree of distribution. This limitation has hampered the impact of database technologies on massively distributed systems like the Inter ..."

the Internet. In this paper, we present the initial design of PIER, a massively distributed query engine based on overlay networks, which is intended to bring database query processing facilities to new, widely distributed environments. We motivate the need for massively distributed queries, and argue for a

An overview of data warehousing and OLAP technology

by Surajit Chaudhuri, Umeshwar Dayal - SIGMOD Record , 1997
"... Data warehousing and on-line analytical processing (OLAP) are essential elements of decision support, which has increasingly become a focus of the database industry. Many commercial products and services are now available, and all of the principal database management system vendors now have offering ..."
Abstract - Cited by 386 (3 self) - Add to MetaCart
. In addition to surveying the state of the art, this paper also identifies some promising research issues, some of which are related to problems that the database research community has worked on for years, but others are only just beginning to be addressed. This overview is based on a tutorial

A Survey of Top-k Query Processing Techniques in Relational Database Systems

by Ihab F. Ilyas, George Beskales, Mohamed A. Soliman
"... Efficient processing of top-k queries is a crucial requirement in many interactive environments that involve massive amounts of data. In particular, efficient top-k processing in domains such as the Web, multimedia search and distributed systems has shown a great impact on performance. In this surve ..."
Abstract - Cited by 167 (6 self) - Add to MetaCart
. In this survey, we describe and classify top-k processing techniques in relational databases. We discuss different design dimensions in the current techniques including query models, data access methods, implementation levels, data and query certainty, and supported scoring functions. We show the implications

Computable Queries for Relational Databases

by Ashok Chandra, Asok K. Cadm, David Harel , 1980
"... this paper is to settle the question of maximal expressiveness of query languages. This is done in two steps. First, the set of computable queries is defined. These correspond to partial recursive functions which satisfy a consistency criterion reflecting the fact that the computation is on a data b ..."

Temporal and Real-Time Databases: A Survey

by Gultekin Ozsoyoglu, Richard T. Snodgrass - IEEE Transactions on Knowledge and Data Engineering , 1995
"... A temporal database contains time-varying data. In a real-time database transactions have deadlines or timing constraints. In this paper we review the substantial research in these two heretofore separate research areas. We first characterize the time domain, then investigate temporal and real-time ..."
Abstract - Cited by 199 (13 self) - Add to MetaCart
: object-oriented database, relational databases, query language, temporal data model, time-constrained database, transaction time, user-defined time, valid time 1 Introduction Time is an important aspect of all real-world phenomena. Events occur at specific points in time; objects and the relationships

Visual query systems for databases: A survey

by Tiziana Catarci, Maria F. Costabile, Stefano Levialdi, Carlo Batini - Journal of Visual Languages and Computing , 1997
"... Visual query systems (VQSs) are query systems for databases that use visual representations to depict the domain of interest and express related requests. VQSs can be seen as an evolution of query languages adopted into database management systems; they are designed to improve the effectiveness of t ..."
Abstract - Cited by 134 (10 self) - Add to MetaCart
of the human-computer communication. Thus, their most important features are those that determine the nature of the human-computer dialogue. In order to survey and compare existing VQSs used for querying traditional databases, we first introduce a classification based on such features, namely the adopted
