A knowledge-based system for physical database design
Christopher Dabrowski, David K. Jefferson · 1988
A knowledge-based system for physical database design has been developed at the Institute for Computer Sciences and Technology.This system processes large multi-entity logical data structures with complex workload requirements and identifies near-optimal physical designs.It employs heuristics developed by physical design experts and cost modeling algorithms to reduce the large number of design alternatives available in large complex problems to a few select designs.This system is implemented in Lisp.
