Inverted indexes vs. bitmap indexes in decision support systems
CIKM '09: Proceedings of the 18th ACM conference on Information and knowledge managementBitmap indexes are widely used in Decision Support Systems (DSSs) to improve query performance. In this paper, we evaluate the use of compressed inverted indexes with adapted query processing strategies from Information Retrieval as an alternative. In a ...
Generalized Partial Indexes
ICDE '95: Proceedings of the Eleventh International Conference on Data EngineeringThis paper demonstrates the use of generalized partial indexes for efficient query processing. We propose that partial indexes be built on those portions of the database that are statistically likely to be the most useful for query processing. We ...
