Good cardinality estimates are critical for generating good execution plans during query optimization. Complex predicates, correlations between columns, and user-defined functions...
Though skyline queries already have claimed their place in retrieval over central databases, their application in Web information systems up to now was impossible due to the distri...
Query optimizers in current database systems are designed to pick a single efficient plan for a given query based on current statistical properties of the data. However, different...
