ABSTRACT
Over the past 40 years, database management systems (DBMSs)
have evolved to provide a sophisticated variety of data manage-

are thus debugged once and re-used repeatedly. This mode of inter-
action, however, is changing. As scientists (and others) store and
share increasingly large volumes of data in data centers, they need
the ability to analyze the data by issuing exploratory queries. In this
paper, we argue that, in these new settings, data management sys-
tems must provide powerful query management capabilities, from
