Current methods for selectivity estimation fall into two broad categories, synopsis-based and sampling-based. Synopsis-based methods, such as histograms, incur minimal overhead at ...
: Cost-based optimizers in relational databases make use of data statistics to estimate intermediate result cardinalities. Those cardinalities are needed to estimate access plan co...
Cost-based query optimizers need to estimate the selectivity of conjunctive predicates when comparing alternative query execution plans. To this end, advanced optimizers use multi...

Summarizing topological relations is fundamental to many spatial applications including spatial query optimization. In this paper, we examine the selectivity estimation for range w...
The rich dependency structure found in the columns of real-world relational databases can be exploited to great advantage, but can also cause query optimizers--which usually assum...
