The document discusses phases of distributed query processing. The objectives are to convert SQL queries to relational algebra, minimize costs by executing queries efficiently across distributed databases, and simplify queries. Analysis involves lexical, syntactic and semantic analysis to verify relations and attributes. Simplification detects redundant predicates. Query restructuring rewrites queries as relational algebra expressions and applies transformation rules. Fragmentation forms queries for fragmented relations and reduction techniques optimize queries based on the fragmentation type.
