It is intended to replace the aging TPC-C. DESCRIPTION: This talk starts by describing the TPC-E specification in high-level terms and reasoning why TPC-E represents modern database s erver workload. It continues by explaining the benefits to the open so urce development community (particularly to the PostgreSQL community) of counting on an open-source workload based on the industry-standard TPC-E benchmark.

We will focus primarily on algorith ms for searching the space of all possible alternatives for the large number of joins. We will briefly describe these algorithms and their p ossible variants\, compare them together and we will try to pick up so me of them as suitable for solving our problem. Some examples of execu tion of these algorithms on the traveling salesman problem will be sho wn. The traveling salesman problem was chosen for the presentation bec ause it is a very similar problem and much easier to imagine and prese nt than searching the space of execution plan alternatives.

Traditio nal database systems use a "store and query" model: the data is stored by the DBMS\, and one-time queries are submitted\, evaluated\, and th en the results returned to clients. This model is often inappropriate for a world in which data is constantly in motion. For applications li ke network monitoring\, real-time financial analysis\, and sensor netw orks\, the overhead required to store data to disk and then compute a one-time query is excessive. A data stream management system (DSMS) al lows long-running continuous queries over data streams to be defined\, yielding a query processing model much more amenable to real-time ana lysis and response.
