Database Management Systems (DBMS) • Efficient and convenient mechanisms for storing, querying and maintenance of enterprise data • Cornerstone of computer industry • Uses more than 80 percent of computers worldwide • Employs more than 70 percent of computer professionals • Largest monetary sector of computer business
DBMS FEATURES • Handle data of arbitrary size • Income-Tax records are in Petabytes (1015) • Self-contained • contains both data and meta-data • Program-Data insulation • application s/w not affected by storage changes SR No | Name | Address | Hostel | GPA SR No | Name | Address | GPA | Hostel
DBMS FEATURES (contd) • Declarative Access • state what you want, not how to get it • On-the-Fly Questions • ask new questions without writing new programs • PEACE OF MIND • changes to the database are guaranteed to be immune to subsequent system failures Sri Sri Ravishankar of the Information World
Current Database Systems • Commercial • IBM DB2 / Oracle / Microsoft SQL Server / Sybase • Public-domain • PostgreSQL / MySQL / Berkeley DB
DBMS Myths • Databases? Isn’t that the boring part of accounting? • Hazaar dumb Cobol programming! • Maha-bore - almost as dull as watching Rahul Dravid bat! • High-tech name for data entry! • Will only get job with TCS! • ...
DBMS Realities • Design of database engines has lots of really, really interesting intellectual problems with practical impact • theory, algorithms, data structures, experiments, prototypes • Turing awards • 1981: Edgar Codd (relational data model) • 1999: Jim Gray (transaction model) • Ullman, Silberschatz, Papadimitrou, … • Rajaraman, Patnaik, Balakrishnan, Jacob/Govindarajan …

Locate all Maximal Matching Substrings[Chang & Lawler 1990] • For each position in query sequence Q, locate all longest matching substrings of length ≥in the indexed data sequence D • Example: D = ‘GTTAATTACT$’Q = ‘CTAATGA’ and = 3 Result: { TAAT:<2,1>AAT:<3,2>}

Features of Suffix Tree Index • Accurate retrieval • no false negatives (unlike BLAST) • LinearTime Complexity for both Constructionand Search! • because of Suffix-links • Widely used • More than 40-50 applications over biological sequences [Gusfield, 2002] • MUMmer [Celera Genomics], AVID, …
Crippling Limitation • Viable only for sequences that are short enough for their associated suffix tree to fit completely in main memory …[Baeza-Yates and Navarro, 2000] • Best that has been built so far is for sequences of ~ 10 Mbp (Human Genome is 300 times longer!)
Difficulties in Supporting Suffix Trees on Long Sequences - 1 Space overheads are enormous • Order(s) of magnitude larger than data! • Human Genome can be easily stored in main memory (~1 GB) but the index couldbe of the order of 10-100 GB • Disk-resident suffix trees for long sequences
Difficulties in Supporting Suffix Trees on Long Sequences - 2 Tree Construction on Disk is Very Slow • Due to disk thrashing from random seeks The active suffix creeps through the text like a caterpillar … corresponding active node swings through the tree like a butterfly[Giegerich and Kurtz, 1995]
Difficulties in Supporting Suffix Trees on Long Sequences - 3 Searching on Disk is Very Slow • Unbalanced Tree Structure • Shape of tree depends onsequence stochastic properties • “Multi-directional” traversals causes disk thrashing • Tree-Edge “Vertical Walk-Down” • Suffix-Link “Horizontal Jump-Across” Suffix Tree Search • Edge + Link mesh • Two phase Search • Locate • Report ≥ Combination of Batman and Spiderman !

0 A 1 C (0) C 2 C A (1) 3 A 4 Structural Advantages of SPINE w.r.t. Suffix Trees • Number of nodes is equal to length of string, whereas in suffix tree can go up to double. • Entire data sequence explicitly embedded in index throw away the data! • On-line incremental algorithm (by definition) • do not need to possess entire data sequence in advance • Node creation order andlogical order are the same prefix-partitionable D =‘ACCA’
0 A 1 C (0) C 2 C A (1) 3 A 4 Advantages of SPINE (contd) • Each node represents a set of suffixes whereas in suffix tree each node represents only a single suffix • Number of suffixes processed for construction and searching is smaller • Easy to develop buffering strategies forpersistent implementations
SPINE Performance Summary Data SetsEcoli: 3.5 Mbp Celegans: 15.5 Mbp HC 21: 28.5 Mbp HC19: 57.5 Mbp Suffix Tree (MUMmer - Celera Genomics) • Spine Space • ~ 2/3 of Suffix Tree • Spine Time • Construction: ~ 1/2 of Suffix Tree • Searching: ~ 1/2 of Suffix Tree
SPINE Summary • First index based on horizontal (inter-path) compaction of the trie • Collapses into a single linear structure • Improved features and performance w.r.t. suffix trees, the classical index • Prefix-partitionable (first index to have this property) • Easily amenable to persistent disk implementation • Retains linear time/space complexity • Better construction speed and capacity • Better search response times
