To globally optimize execution plans for XQuery expressions, a plan generator must generate and compare plan alternatives. In proven compiler architectures, the unit of plan genera...
This paper examines the effect of grading approaches for SQL query formulation on students’ learning strategies. The way that students are graded in a subject has a significant ...
In this paper, we describe an approach to boosting the performance of an XQuery engine by identifying and exploiting opportunities to share processing both within and across XML qu...

Selectivity estimation of queries not only provides useful information to the query processing optimization but also may give users a preview of processing results. In this paper,...
We provide an evaluation of query execution plans (QEP) in the case of queries with one or two spatial joins. The QEPs assume R -tree indexed relations and use a common set of spat...
