SQL Log Analysis: An Exploration of XQuery as a Tool to Analyze SQL Parse Trees
Nathan Bales (UCSD)

Abstract:
Existing SQL query analysis tools are designed for specific tasks, not ad-hoc analysis. 
Such analysis are needed by teams working with large database systems in at&t.  
I will discuss my summer work exploring XML as a data format for parsed SQL query logs and 
XQuery as a tool for writing ad-hoc analysis over those logs. I will present two different 
research issues that have been exposed by this work.  Firstly, I will motivate and demonstrate 
a conceptual model for parse tree analysis using XML.  Secondly, I will discuss 
using XML parse trees for query similarity.
