XQuery to SQL by XAT

Xin ZhangThanks:

Brian, Mukesh, Maged, Lily, Elke

Outline Merged algebra proposed based on

Niagara XPERANTO

One thorough example of XQuery SQL

3

Data Model An Ordered Table in two dimensions

Tuple order Column order.

Every cell has its own domain Every column binds to one variable. The domain can be:

SQL domains. XML Fragment.

Can be a list of XML elements. Comparison are done by values

4

Data Model Examples Table of XML Fragments. Explicit Naming

E.g. variable bindings Implicit Naming

E.g. XPath notations. Reduce complexity of many

internal variables.

<carrier> $carrier</carrier

invoice_id

carrier

carrier_entry

carriers <carrier> $carrier</carrier<carrier> $carrier</carrier>……….

/ /invoice /invoice/account_number

$rate

5

Naming of Columns Implicit:

SQL operators Navigate

Explicit ( “name”): Variable binding:

Holding a set of values. Variable name ($name) is name of a column

Rename Distinguish in one operator where,

same “names” from different sources Abbreviate a very long “name”.

Create a new name for creation operators Need to used with those operators. E.g. Tagger

6

Operators SQL like (9):

Project, Select, Join (Theta, Outer, Semi), Groupby, Orderby, Union (Node, Outer), COp.

XML like (4): Tagger, Navigate, is(Element, Text),

Aggregate. Special:

SQL, Function, Source, Name, FOR

Example XQueryUser XQuery: <summary>{

FOR $rate IN distinct(document(“invoice”)/invoice/itemized_call@rate)

LET $itemized_call := document(“invoice”)/invoice/itemized_call[@rate=$rate]

WHERE $itemized_call/@number_called LIKE ‘973%’

RETURN<rate>$rate</rate><number_of_calls>count($itemized_call)</number_of_calls>

}</summary>

Count number of itemized_calls in calling area 973 grouped by the calling rate.

15

XQuery XML Algebra Tree Divide into query blocks Convert each query block into XML

Algebra Tree (XAT). Identify Correlated Operators Combine into one XML Algebra

Tree. Query decorrelation

16

Query BlocksUser XQuery: <summary>{

FOR $rate IN distinct(document(“invoice”)/invoice/itemized_call@rate)

LET $itemized_call := document(“invoice”)/invoice/itemized_call[@rate=$rate]

WHERE $itemized_call/@number_called LIKE ‘973%’

RETURN<rate>$rate</rate><number_of_calls>count($itemized_call)</number_of_calls>

}</summary>

B1: Construct summary from the result from B2B2: Get all the distinct rate and iterate through it.

B3: Count itemized call for a given rate.

The block identification is

arbitrary (wrong).

Query Decorrelation for COp Top-down approach over XAT Tree. Approach:

Correlated Binding (CB) Op1[COp(CB, Op2)[Op3[Correlated

Operator[A],B]]] Op1[ROJ(CB)[Op2[Groupby(CB, Op3[]) [Operator[Cartesian[A,B]]]], B]]

For example: Correlated Join Outer Join with Groupby

with Cartesian

25

Query Decorrelation for FOR Top-down approach over XAT Tree. Approach:

Correlated Binding (CB) Op1[FOR(CB)[Op2[Correlated

Operator[A],B]]] Op1[Groupby(CB, Op2[]) [Operator[Cartesian[A,B]]]]

Differences: SQL Decorrelation: Return Outer Query XQuery Decorrelation: Return Inner Query CO: Return both Outer/Inner Query

View Composition Input:

User Query XAT + User View XAT Output:

Simplified composite XAT Approach:

XAT Cutting: Remove un-referenced columns and operators.

Pushdown Navigation By using the commutative rules

Cancel out the navigation operators By using the composition rules

36

XAT Cutting Cut Query Blocks

User query only require itemized_call. B5 is cut, Invoice is cut

B4 is simplified. B6 is simplified.

Cut Columns User query only used

itemized_call@rate.

Navigation Cancel Out Navigation Pushdown

Based on some transformation rules. E.g. commutative of navigation and

other operators. Navigation + Tagger Cancel Out

Composition Rules. The cancellation result is “renaming”

Operators Renaming columns
