We describe the design and implementation of the Glue-Nail database system. The Nail language is a purely declarative query language; Glue is a procedural language used for nonque...

Abstract. An optimal probabilistic-planning algorithm solves a problem, usually modeled by a Markov decision process, by finding its optimal policy. In this paper, we study the k ...
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...
We propose a method for measuring the quality of a grouping result, based on the following observation: a better grouping result provides more information about the true, unknown g...

We study the problem of computing query results with confidence values in ULDBs: relational databases with uncertainty and lineage. ULDBs, which subsume probabilistic databases, o...
