Abstract

In this demonstration we present a complete fuzzy-set-based approach to preference queries that tackles the two main questions raised by the introduction of flexibility and personalization when querying relational databases: i) how to efficiently execute preference queries? and, ii) how to help users define preferences and queries? As an answer to the first question, we propose PostgreSQL_f, a module implemented on top of PostgreSQL to handle fuzzy queries. To answer the second question, we propose ReqFlex an intuitive user interface to the definition of preferences and the construction of fuzzy queries.

Recommendations

Equivalence and minimization of conjunctive queries under combined semantics
ICDT '12: Proceedings of the 15th International Conference on Database Theory

The problems of query containment, equivalence, and minimization are fundamental problems in the context of query processing and optimization. In their classic work [2] published in 1977, Chandra and Merlin solved the three problems for the language of ...
Scalable and efficient processing of top-k multiple-type integrated queries
Abstract
In this paper, we define a new class of queries, the top-k multiple-type integrated query (simply, top-k MULTI query). It deals with multiple data types and finds the information in the order of relevance between the query and the object. Various ...
Query containment under bag and bag-set semantics

Conjunctive queries (CQs) are at the core of query languages encountered in many logic-based research fields such as AI, or database systems. The majority of existing work assumes set semantics but often in real applications the manipulation of ...
