Benchmark ::theta_exist : Nested query with existential quantification. The correlation predicate contains a non-equality predicate.
(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("bids.xml")//bid_tuple where some $i in doc("items.xml")//item_tuple[itemno eq $b/itemno] satisfies $i/reserve_price gt $b/bid return <failcheck> { $b/itmeno } { $b/userid } </failcheck>
Language: XQuery 1.0

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

Parameters:
Parameter num_items:
the number of items, this is the main scaling parameter
This parameter characterizes the: doc
Unit: None.
Values: 100 1000 10000
Distribution: uniform
Scale: ordinal
Parameter num_bids_per_item:
The number of bids per item.
This parameter characterizes the: doc
Unit: None
Values: 10
Distribution: uniform
Scale: ordinal

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