The accurate formulation of boolean expressions is a notorious problem in programming languages and database query tools. This paper studies the ways that untrained users naturall...
Many new applications that involve decision making need online (i.e., OLAP-styled) preference analysis with multidimensional boolean selections. Typical preference queries includes...
We study selectivity estimation techniques for set similarity queries. A wide variety of similarity measures for sets have been proposed in the past. In this work we concentrate o...

This article deals with consistent query answering to conjunctive queries under primary key constraints. The repairs of an inconsistent database db are obtained by selecting a max...
Queries with (equality or LIKE) selection predicates over string attributes are widely used in relational databases. However, state-of-the-art techniques for estimating selectivit...
