Integration of Spatial Join Algorithms for Processing Multiple Inputs

Summary: Proposes slot index spatial join (SISJ) for a two-input join where only one input is indexed by an R-tree. Extends SISJ and spatial joins to multiway in-DB operators; studies relational vs. spatial multiway joins; offers a DP-based plan optimizer. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
