Intervals represent a fundamental data type for temporal, scientific, and spatial databases where time stamps and point data are extended to time spans and range data, respectively...
In implementations of non-standard database systems, large objects are often embedded within an aggregate of different types, i.e. a tuple. For a given size and access probabilit...
One of the most important types of query processing in spatial databases and geographic information systems is the spatial join, an operation that selects, from two relations, all...
Database support of time-varying phenomena typically assumes that entities change in a linear fashion. Many phenomena, however, change cyclically over time. Examples include monsoo...
