Title
Evaluating queries with generalized path expressions
Abstract
In the past few years, query languages featuring generalized path expressions have been proposed. These languages allow the interrogation of both data and structure. They are powerful and essential for a number of applications. However, until now, their evaluation has relied on a rather naive and inefficient algorithm.In this paper, we extend an object algebra with two new operators and present some interesting rewriting techniques for queries featuring generalized path expressions. We also show how a query optimizer can integrate the new techniques.
