Database Cost Analysis: a Top-Down Approach
Summary: Top-down cost analysis for database design yields rapid high-level cost estimates and supports iterative refinement across alternatives. Extends hit-ratio models to nonuniform usage, introduces distribution of depths for serial accesses, and offers a unified, practitioner-friendly view of file structures.
