A New Way to Compute the Product and Join of Relations

Summary: Nested-block method for computing the product or join of n relations in paged memory, exploiting buffer space. Cost model and heuristic for near-optimal memory allocation; enables efficient computation of n-relations products and augments traditional joins. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
