Abstract

This paper deals with the strategy for processing multivariable queries in the data base management system INGRES. The general procedure is to decompose the query into a sequence of one-variable queries by alternating between (a) reduction: breaking off components of the query which are joined to it by a single variable, and (b) tuple-substitution: substituting for one of the variable a tuple at a time. Algorithms for reduction and for choosing the variable to be substituted are given. In most cases the latter decision depends on estimation of costs and heuristic procedures for making such estimates are outlined.
