We study the problem of maintaining recursively-de ned views, such as the transitive closure of a relation, in traditional relational languages that do not have recursion mechanis...
The XPath language incorporates powerful primitives for formulating queries containing nested subexpressions which are existentially or universally quantified. However, even the b...
We present in this paper an approach for XQuery optimization that exploits minimization opportunities raised in composition-style nesting of queries. More precisely, we consider t...
In this paper, we explore the possibility of transforming queries with minimum and maximum predicates into equivalent queries that can be computed more efficiently. The main contr...
