Abstract
Abstract. The satisfiability test checks, whether or not the evaluation of a query returns the empty set for any input document, and can be used in query optimization for avoiding the submission and the computation of unsatisfiable queries. Thus, applying the satisfiability test before executing a query can save processing time and query costs. We focus on the satisfiability problem for queries formulated in the XML query language XPath, and propose a schema-based approach to the satisfiability test of XPath queries, which checks whether or not an XPath query conforms to the constraints in a given schema. If an XPath query does not conform to the constraints given in the schema, the evaluation of the query will return an empty result for any valid XML document. Thus, the XPath query is unsatisfiable. We present a complexity analysis of our approach, which proves that our approach is efficient for typical cases. We present an experimental analysis of our developed prototype, which shows the optimization potential of avoiding the evaluation of unsatisfiable queries. 1
