The Optimization of Distributed Join in C-POREL System

C-POREL is a distributed relational data base management system, with full distribution transparency. A relation can be horizontally fragmented into several subrelations allocated to different sites. When two or more fragmented relations appear in a join query, many-to- many semijoins between correspondent relations are usually needed in order to fully reduce relations involved.
