This paper investigates a class of transform queries proposed by XQuery Update [6]. A transform query is defined in terms of XML update syntax. When posed on an XML tree T, it ret...
Sketching techniques can provide approximate answers to aggregate queries either for data-streaming or distributed computation. Small space summaries that have linearity propertie...
The traditional focus of relational query optimization schemes has been on the choice of join methods and join orders. Restrictions have typically been handled in query optimizers ...
Computer vision researchers have recently proposed several local descriptor schemes. Due to lack of database support, however, these descriptors have only been evaluated using sma...
