Abstract

Various embodiments of systems and methods for tracking queries and retrieved results are described herein. In one aspect, a first query is associated with a first result set in a first tuple and a second query is associated with a second result set in a second tuple. The first result set is retrieved based on the execution of the first query and the second result set is retrieved based on the execution of the second query. The first and the second tuples are retained in a data structure in the order of execution of the respective queries. The retrieved result sets may be accessed forwards or backwards along the data structure without re-execution of the queries.
