Query features are response time, CPU utilization during query execution, sequential and random I/O throughput during query execution, and the join degree. Queries are then clustered in feature space, using singular value decomposition and semi-discrete decomposition. TPC-H was used for evaluation.

A workload is a weighted set of SQL statements. Problem is to find a subset of these statements that can be used to replace the original workload as an input to certain applications, such that the substitution has little impact on the application's output. Applications considered are automatic index selection and approximate query answering.

Presents some statistics characterizing the database workload generated by some kind of corporate accounting application. Both structural statistics (e.g., number of statements of different types, number of predicates and attributes used in each statement, transaction sizes) and statement execution statistics (e.g., number of tuples retrieved) are collected. There is no attempt to demonstrate that these statistics are useful for any specific purpose.
