Good cardinality estimates are critical for generating good execution plans during query optimization. Complex predicates, correlations between columns, and user-defined functions...
XQuery is widely used for querying XML documents. Within this paper, we examine optimization rules for XQuery queries that exploit type information of the input XML document given ...
Complex queries often contain common or similar subexpressions, either within a single query or among multiple queries submitted as a batch. If so, query execution time can be imp...
