Hi Jan, Can you explain a little bit more about this? Or is there a Wiki page that explains it? I'm rather curious about what you mean by "duplicate generating path step operator" Maurice. Jan Rittinger wrote:

Update of /cvsroot/monetdb/pathfinder/compiler/include In directory sc8-pr-cvs7.sourceforge.net:/tmp/cvs-serv28492/include

Modified Files: logical.h logical_mnemonic.h Log Message: -- Introduced a new duplicate generating path step operator. This operator is introduced in the proxy detection phase and replaces the following pattern by a new dup_scjoin operator:

|X| __/ \__ / \ (pi) | | | scjoin (pi) / | | (pi) | \__ __/ \ / #

The new operator keeps all the columns of its right argument -- the left argument refers to the fragment information -- and adds a new column (stored in the semantical field scjoin.item_res) based on the context column (stored in the semantical field scjoin.item). Because the result may change the cardinality all the other columns are mapped based on the input context nodes.
