The Halloween Problem

A well-intentioned query and the Halloween Problem

Anne Fitzpatrick

Charles Babbage Institute | University of Minnesota

Abstract: The author’s description of the Halloween Problem demonstrates the role of cautionary tales in the history of computing. The Halloween Problem emerged in the context of structured query language optimization in relational database research. Normally, a query optimizer works by measuring system calls and paging requests and applying heuristics to the entire access path tree. Query optimization was one of the most challenging tasks facing System R researchers at IBM. These experiments with query optimization form the milieu in which the Halloween Problem emerged.

Charcuterie

Charcuterie refers to a variety of cured meats, often accompanied by an assortment of cheeses, fruits, nuts, bread, and spreads. Originating from France, charcuterie was initially focused solely on prepared meat products, such as sausages, pâtés, and confits. Today, a charcuterie board is a popular way to serve an array of meats and complementary foods in a visually appealing and flavorful arrangement as demonstrated here for the Office of Alumni and Family Engagement by Alaura Westrol, Class of 2011.
