Summary:A database user session is a sequence of queries issued by a user (or an application) to achieve a certain task. Analysis of task-oriented database user sessions provides useful insight into the query behavior of database users. In this paper, we describe novel algorithms for identifying sessions from database traces and for grouping the sessions different classes. We also present experimental results.
