Abstract

Data is distributed across interconnected relations in relational databases. Relationships between tuples can be rearranged in distinct relations by matching the values of the join attribute, a process called equi-join operation. Unlike standard attempts to design efficient join algorithms in this thesis, an approach is proposed to align tuples in relation so that joins can be readily and effectively done. We position tuples in their respective relationships, called relations alignment, which has matching join attribute values in the corresponding positions. We also address how to align relations and perform joins on aligned relations. The experiments were conducted in this research to measure and analyze the efficiency of the proposed approach compared to standard MySQL joins.
