Statistical estimators for relational algebra expressions
TL;DR: This paper designs a sampling plan based on the cluster sampling method to improve the utilization of sampled data and to reduce the cost of sampling, and proposes consistent and unbiased estimators for arbitrary COUNT(E) type queries.
Journal ArticleDOI
Processing aggregate relational queries with hard time constraints
TL;DR: A time constrained query evaluation algorithm is described, which is implemented in the prototype DBMS, and iteratively samples from input relations, and evaluates the associated estimators developed in the previous work, until a stopping criterion is satisfied.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Error-constrained COUNT query evaluation in relational databases
TL;DR: The problem of estimating a COUNT(E) query having a guaranteed error bound with a certain confidence level, where E is an arbitrary relational algebra expression with Select, Join and Intersection operations, is discussed.

TL;DR: This paper presents a set of COUNT’(E) estimator evaluation algorithms, all based on simple random sampling, and each suitable for a different type of relational algebra expression E, and proposes three enhancements to improve the efficiency.
