We present an effective optimization framework for general SQLlike map-reduce queries, which is based on a novel query algebra and uses a small number of higher-order physical ope...
In order to make database systems interoperate with systems beyond traditional application areas a new paradigm called \exporting database functionality" as a radical departur...
We investigate the problem of how to extend constraint query languages with aggregate operators. We deal with standard relational aggregation, and also with aggregates speci c to ...
Probabilistic Logic Programming is an active field of research, with many proposals for languages, semantics and reasoning algorithms. One such proposal, Logic Programming with A...
Automatic physical database design tools rely on "what-if" interfaces to the query optimizer to estimate the execution time of the training query workload under differen...
