[comp.databases] Papers on query optimization

gupta@mas1.UUCP (Yogesh Gupta) (12/18/86)

I would like to make a list of papers on query-optimization for relational
DBMSs (distributed as well as non-distributed).  Please mail me any pointers
regarding the same.  The papers need not be on query-optimization alone,
as long as they contain something significant on query-optimization.  I will
post the list to this group if there is enough interest.  Thanks.

I suggest checking into the recent Springer-Verlag book, Query
Processing in Database Systems, Kim, Reiner, Batory, eds, ISBN
3-540-13831-5.

This covers recent work in QO for distributed and centralized 
relational systems, multiple data models, CAD systems, database
machines, etc. etc.

I recommend this book to anyone looking for a fairly state-of-the-art
overview, at roughly a grad-student level, of query optimization techniques
and research.

Bear in mind that I have an inherant bias as one of the editors of the
book ...
