The performance and characteristics of the execution of various join-trees on a parallel DBMS are studied. The results are a step in the direction of the design of a query optimization strategy that is fit for parallel execution of complex queries. Among others, synchronization issues are identified
Integrity constraints form an important part of a data model. Therefore, a complete integrity constraint handling subsystem is considered an important part of any modern DBMS. In implementing an integrity constraint handling subsystem, there are two major problem areas: providing enough functionalit
The design of a large database management system on top of an object-oriented platform which is implemented on a tightly coupled multiprocessor system requires a large number of design decisions. There exist no methodology to evaluate the consequences and compare the differences between them. Lookin
It is shown that the use of an adjusted algorithm can improve the performance of a nested query execution containing join operations. Apart from the equijoin, the union, Cartesian product, ¿-join, and intersection operations can be implemented in a pipelining way. The difference, however, cannot be
A short introduction to the important aspects of the PRISMA DBMS (database management system) and to the notation and terminology used is presented. It is shown how integrity constraints formulated in terms of global relations can be translated into a fragmented form. The strategy for constraint enf
PRISMA/DB is implemented in a parallel object-oriented language to gain insight in the usage of parallelism. This environment allows us to experiment with parallelism by simply changing the allocation of objects to the processors of the PRISMA machine. These objects are obtained by a strictly modula
The efficiency of processing strategies for queries in a distributed database is critical for system performance. Methods are studied to minimize the response time and the total time for distributed queries. A new algorithm (Algorithm GENERAL) is presented to derive processing strategies for arbitra
