Abstract

A holistic twig join method with optimal cursor movement is disclosed. The method in one aspect minimizes the number of cursor moves by looking more globally at the query's state to determine which cursor to move next and making virtual moves where a physical move is not needed. The method in another aspect reduces the number of cursor moves by skipping over nodes that do not need to be output.
