First and foremost, I would like to thank my research advisor,
Professor Michael Stonebraker, for his guidance and support throughout
this project.
I am also grateful to
Professor Larry Rowe and members of the
POSTGRES project for contributing ideas that
improved the optimizer, particularly
Chin Heng Hong for his careful scrutiny of
optimizer-generated query plans.
Finally, I would like to thank Professor Eugene Wong for
reading this report.
