Benchmark ::exist_gencom : Corelated nested query with existential quantifier. The correlation predicate performs general comparison.
(submitted at 2006-11-24)
Authors: Norman May (University of Mannheim)
Categories: XQuery,
Target: All systems
Engine type: persistent-storage main-memory
Measure: The measure targets the total execution time.
Result unit: Milliseconds

Query:
The naive evaluation of this query evaluates in nested-loops. This results in a quadratic increase in excution time when the document size is increased. More efficient evaluation strategies scale better.
Syntax: for $b in doc("bib.xml")//book where some $a in doc("reviews.xml")//entry[title = $b/title] satisfies $a/price > $b/price return <cheap-book> { $b/title, $b/price } </cheap-book>
Language: XQuery 1.0

Document:
The document creates a document that conforms to the DTD used for the XQuery Use Case XMP.
Generator: Toxgene and xmp.tsl

Parameters:
Parameter num_books:
The number of books, authors, reviews, prices. This is the main scaling parameter
This parameter characterizes the: doc
Unit: None.
Values: 100 1000 10000
Distribution: uniform
Scale: ordinal
Parameter num_authors_per_book:
The number of authors per book.
This parameter characterizes the: doc
Unit: None
Values: 2 5 10
Distribution: uniform
Scale: ordinal

Methodology:
Running scenario: queryScale
Test the influence of the document size (which mainly depends on parameter num_books) on the query execution time.
Parameter instantiation:
Name Value(s)
num_books 100 , 1000 , 10000
