On-Line Analytical Processing techniques are used for data analysis and decision support systems. The multidimensionality of the underlying data is well represented by multidimens...
Multidimensional Analysis in On-Line Analytical Processing (OLAP), and Scientific and statistical databases (SSDB) use operations requiring summary information on multi-dimensiona...
The notion of certain answers arises when one queries incompletely specified databases, e.g., in data integration and exchange scenarios, or databases with missing information. W...
Histograms and Wavelet synopses provide useful tools in query optimization and approximate query answering. Traditional histogram construction algorithms, such as V-Optimal, optim...
In this paper we explore database segmentation in the context of a column-store DBMS targeted at a scientific database. We present a novel hardware- and scheme-oblivious segmentati...
