We present an optimization method and algorithm designed for three objectives: physical data independence, semantic optimization, and generalized tableau minimization. The method ...

Query containment is a fundamental algorithmic problem in database query processing and optimization. Under set semantics, the query-containment problem for conjunctive queries ha...
In an uncertain database, each data item is modeled as a range associated with a probability density function. Previous works for this kind of data have focussed on simple queries...
