A published dissertation - and just what that says
This is the published form of the author's dissertation (which presumably means he is now Dr. Hasan). And naturally it reads like a dissertation. As such it is of interest only to people in a few fields. A person writing a SQL implementation for a multiprocessor would benefit. More generally a person writing implementations for multi-processors could learn something. The measurements of how to estimate and minimize cost of interprocess communications could be singnificant.However, it is of little use to a person concerned with optimizing SQL queries for general implementations (much of Hasan's work was at very low level, such as bypassing SQL's built in optimizing and at the implementation level below that normally available to SQL users). So if you need the specific area of interest then it's excellent but otherwise it's too limited in scope.
