Towards indexing functions
Arijit Khan, Pouya Yanki, Bojana Dimcheva, Donald Kossmann · 2014
We consider a broad category of analytic queries, denoted by scalar product queries, which can be expressed as a scalar product between a known function over multiple database attributes and an unknown set of parameters. More specifically, given a set of d-dimensional data points, we retrieve all points x which satisfy an inequality given by a scalar product: <= b. We assume that the function f() is application specific and known apriori, while the query parameters a and the inequality parameter b are known only at the time of querying.
