Abstract

Approximation is a very effective paradigm to speed up query processing in large databases. One popular approximation mechanism is data size reduction. There are three reduction techniques: sampling, histograms, and wavelets. Histogram techniques are supported by many commercial database systems, and have been shown very effective for approximately processing aggregation queries. In this paper, we will investigate the optimal models for building histograms based on linear spline techniques. We will firstly propose several novel models. Secondly, we will present efficient algorithms to achieve these proposed optimal models. Our experiment results showed that our new techniques can greatly improve the approximation accuracy comparing to the existing techniques.
