We study the problem of finding efficient equivalent viewbased rewritings of relational queries, focusing on query optimization using materialized views under the assumption that ...
The problem of query containment is fundamental to many aspects of database systems, including query optimization, determining independence of queries from updates, and rewriting ...
We study and present our findings on two closely related problems on xpath rewriting using views when both the view and the query are tree patterns involving /,// and []. First, g...
In this paper we consider the problem of answering queries using views, with or without ontological constraints, which is important for data integration, query optimization, and d...
The SQL queries produced in XML-to-SQL query translation are often unnecessarily complex, even for simple input XML queries. In this paper we argue that relational systems can do ...
