DB server is responsible for actual execution of SQL query
however SQL query can’t be executed as it is.The reason is that it tells only
high level descriptions about data, speaks nothing about its hidden low level physical
details like fragmentation, replication, distribution details etc.  Therefore, an input SQL query undergoes certain
transformations before its actual execution takes place. </div>

First 3 steps refer to query parsing. Query Parserchecks the
syntax and validates the semantics of the query (it means verifying the
relation names, the attribute names in the query are the names of relations and
attributes in the database). it constructs a parse tree and then translates
into relational algebra expression. </div>

<u>Catalog<o:p></o:p></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In a centralized database system the catalog is used to
primarily store the schema, which contains information regarding relations,
indices and views. The meta-data stored for relations includes the relation
name, attribute names and data types and integrity constraints. Various statistics
are also stored in the catalog such as the number of distinct keys in a given
attribute and the cardinality of a particular relation. These statistics aid
the query optimizer in estimating the size of intermediate results of execution
plans, which allows the optimizer to determine an estimated cost of plans.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In a distributed DBMS the catalog has to store additional
information including the location of relations and their replicas. The catalog
must also include system wide information such as the number of sites in the
system along with their identifiers. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 12.0pt;">
An issue that arises in a
distributed setting is where to place the catalog in the system. There are two
alternatives:eitherstore the catalog at a single site or replicate it at all
sites. Storing the catalog at a single site introduces a single point of failure
in the system. If the site containing the catalog fails then the entire system
cannot access the catalog, which may cause the entire system to come to a halt.
Placing a copy of the catalog at a single site causes the site to become
burdened by many catalog queries from other sites, which may lead to
performance degradation. Creating replicas of the catalog at each site
eliminates the single point of failure problem and also reduces the network
communication required as all sites do not have to access the catalog remotely.
However, in a system where catalog updates are frequent, much time may be
invested in synchronizing the catalog replicas, which may degrade system
performance</div>

<b><u>Query tree</u></b><u>:</u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It refers to a tree data structure that corresponds to some
relational algebra expression. It has 3 types of nodes: root (at top), internal
nodes (middle) and leaf nodes (at bottom). Its leaves represent input relations
in query;internal nodes represent intermediate relations while root represents
the result. </div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Facebook is a corporation and
online social networking service headquartered in Menlo Park, California, in
the United States. Its website was launched on February 4, 2004, by Mark
Zuckerberg with his Harvard College roommates and fellow students Eduardo
Saverin, Andrew McCollum, Dustin Moskovitz and Chris Hughes. The founders had
initially limited the website's membership to Harvard students, but later
expanded it to colleges in the Boston area, the Ivy League, and Stanford
University. It gradually added support for students at various other
universities and later to high-school students. Since 2006, anyone who is at
least 13 years old was allowed to become a registered user of the website,
though the age requirement may be higher depending on applicable local laws.
Its name comes from the face book directories often given to American
university students.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">After registering to use the site,
users can create a user profile, add other users as "friends",
exchange messages, post status updates and photos, share videos, use various
apps and receive notifications when others update their profiles. Additionally,
users may join common-interest user groups, organized by workplace, school or
college, or other characteristics, and categorize their friends into lists such
as "People From Work" or "Close Friends". Also users can
complain or block unpleasant people. Facebook had over 1.18 billion monthly
active users as of August 2015. Because of the large volume of data users
submit to the service, Facebook has come under scrutiny for their privacy policies.
Facebook, Inc. held its initial public offering in February 2012 and began
selling stock to the public three months later, reaching an original peak
market capitalization of $104 billion. On July 13, 2015, Facebook became the
fastest company in the Standard & Poor's 500 Index to reach a market cap of
$250 billion. Following its Q3 earnings call in 2015, Facebook's market cap
soared past $300 billion.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Zuckerberg wrote a program called
Facemash on October 28, 2003, while attending Harvard University as a sophomore
(second year student). According to The Harvard Crimson, the site was
comparable to Hot or Not and used "photos compiled from the online
facebooks of nine houses, placing two next to each other at a time and asking
users to choose the 'hotter' person"<o:p></o:p></span></div>

computer network and copied private dormitory ID images. Harvard did not have a
student "Facebook" (a directory with photos and basic information) at
the time, although individual houses had been issuing their own paper facebooks
since the mid-1980s, and Harvard's longtime Freshman Yearbook was colloquially
referred to as the "Freshman Facebook". Facemash attracted 450
visitors and 22,000 photo-views in its first four hours online.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

was shut down a few days later by the Harvard administration. Zuckerberg faced
expulsion and was charged by the administration with breach of security,
violating copyrights, and violating individual privacy. Ultimately, the charges
were dropped. Zuckerberg expanded on this initial project that semester by
creating a social study tool ahead of an art history final exam. He uploaded
500 Augustan images to a website, each of which was featured with a corresponding
comments section. He shared the site with his classmates, and people started
sharing notes.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">The following semester, Zuckerberg
began writing code for a new website in January 2004. He said he was inspired
by an editorial about the Facemash incident in The Harvard Crimson. On February
4, 2004, Zuckerberg launched "Thefacebook", originally located at
thefacebook.com.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Six days after the site launched,
three Harvard seniors—Cameron Winklevoss, Tyler Winklevoss, and Divya
Narendra—accused Zuckerberg of intentionally misleading them into believing he
would help them build a social network called HarvardConnection.com. They
claimed that he was instead using their ideas to build a competing product. The
three complained to The Harvard Crimson and the newspaper began an
investigation. They later filed a lawsuit against Zuckerberg, subsequently
settling in 2008 for 1.2 million shares (worth $300 million at Facebook's IPO).<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Membership was initially restricted
to students of Harvard College; within the first month, more than half the
undergraduates at Harvard were registered on the service. Eduardo Saverin
(business aspects), Dustin Moskovitz (programmer), Andrew McCollum (graphic
artist), and Chris Hughes joined Zuckerberg to help promote the website. In
March 2004, Facebook expanded to the universities of Columbia, Stanford, and
Yale. It later opened to all Ivy League colleges, Boston University, New York
University, MIT, and gradually most universities in the United States and
Canada.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">In mid-2004, entrepreneur Sean
Parker — an informal advisor to Zuckerberg — became the company's president.In
June 2004, Facebook moved its operations base to Palo Alto, California. It
received its first investment later that month from PayPal co-founder Peter
Thiel. In 2005, the company dropped "the" from its name after
purchasing the domain name facebook.com for US$200,000. the domain facebook.com
belonged to AboutFace Corporation before the purchase. this website last
appeared on 8 April 2005, whereas from 10 April 2005 to 4 August 2005, this
domain gave a 403 error.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">In May 2005</span></b><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">, Accel partners invested $12.7 million in Facebook,
and Jim Breyer added $1 million of his own money. A January 2009 Compete.com
study ranked Facebook the most used social networking service by worldwide monthly
active users. Entertainment Weekly included the site on its end-of-the-decade
"best-of" list saying, "How on earth did we stalk our exes,
remember our co-workers' birthdays, bug our friends, and play a rousing game of
Scrabulous before Facebook?"<o:p></o:p></span></div>

company in the middle of the IPO process. The stock had begun its freefall by
this time, closing at 34.03 on May 21 and 31.00 on May 22. A "circuit

investigated, and was compared to a pump and dump scheme. A class-action

FINRA both launched investigations.It was believed that adjustments to earnings
estimates were communicated to the underwriters by a Facebook financial
officer, who used the information to cash out on their positions while leaving
the general public with overpriced shares. By the end of May 2012, Facebook's
stock lost over a quarter of its starting value, which led the Wall Street

11, 2014. The question of whether the platform would adopt a dislike button was
raised again, and Zuckerberg said, "We're [Facebook] thinking about it
[dislike button] … It's an interesting question," and said that he likes
the idea of Facebook users being able to express a greater variety of emotions.
In October 2015, Zuckerberg said that instead of creating a dislike button,
Facebook is testing emoji reactions as an alternative to the 'like' button. On
February 24, 2016, Facebook launched Facebook Reactions, which allows users to
respond to posts with multiple reactions in addition to "liking" it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">As of January 21, 2015, Facebook's
algorithm is programmed to filter out false or misleading content, such as fake
news stories and hoaxes, and will be supported by users who select the option
to flag a story as "purposefully fake or deceitful news." According
to Reuters, such content is "being spread like a wildfire" on the
social media platform. Facebook maintained that "satirical" content,
"intended to be humorous, or content that is clearly labeled as
satire," will be taken into account and should not be intercepted. The
algorithm, however, has been accused of maintaining a "filter bubble",
where both material the user disagrees with and posts with a low level of likes,
will also not be seen.  In 2015 November,
Zuckerberg prolonged period of paternity leave from 4 weeks to 4 months.</span></div>
