The first edition of this book appeared in 1991 when the technology was new and there were
not too many products. In the Preface to the first edition, we had quoted Michael Stonebraker …

Analytical databases are continuously adapting to the underlying hardware in order to
saturate all sources of parallelism. At the same time, hardware evolves in multiple directions …

Finding a good join order is crucial for query performance. In this paper, we introduce the
Join Order Benchmark that works on real-life data riddled with correlations and introduces …

Next generation high-performance RDMA-capable networks will require a fundamental
rethinking of the design and architecture of modern distributed DBMSs. These systems are …

This work aims at reducing the main-memory footprint in high performance hybrid OLTP &
OLAP databases, while retaining high query performance and transactional throughput. For …
