Abstract-We consider concept of approximate query in RDBMS i.e. query that returns results which may differ from common (exact) query results in a way but its evaluation requires less resources. In the work we focus mostly on time and storage space aspects. We follow one of the state-of-the-art trends using synopses of data as the input of approximate query evaluation. We propose some measures of approximate query results quality. Basing on them we present steps of adaptive elaboration of synopses quality measure that should be mutually corresponding.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
