      abstract = {This dissertation investigates cost-based object query  optimization techniques. We focus on  cost-based  optimization, which has been adopted by all commercial  relational database management systems (DBMSs). We identify  several practical issues in developing cost-based  optimizers for object queries. To attack these issues, we  propose an algebraic framework for cost-based object query  optimization with special attention paid to queries  involving collection-valued attributes (CVAs) and multiple  collection types. Our work contributes to research and  engineering of cost-based object query optimization in four  aspects: the algebra, the unnesting algorithm, the  reference materialization technique, and the cost model.},
