Physical organization of temporal data
Doron Rotem, Arie Segev · 1987
In this paper, we propose a partitioning scheme of files in a temporal database system, and develop algorithms to minimize the overflow associated with that scheme. The proposed partitioning is suitable for range queries and aggregation operations along the time dimension. Simulation results show that the partitioning algorithms proposed in this paper result in better performance than in the case of a grid-type partitioning.
