Techniques for eliminating one or more portions of a data object from any join step of an operation that joins multiple data objects include determining that an operation joins a first data object and a second data object. The second data object includes multiple portions. Each of multiple data units of the first data object is scanned. Based on data in the data units of the first data object, information is generated. The information indicates a portion of the second data object for exclusion. The indicated portion is excluded from an output of the operation. Only one or more portions of the second data object that are not indicated for exclusion in the information are included in a particular join step involving the second data object. By pruning a large second table, such as a fact table, the computational resources consumed by the joins are substantially reduced.

A method of estimating the location of a wireless terminal is disclosed that is ideally suited for use with legacy systems. The illustrative embodiment of the present invention is based on the observation that the signal strength of a signal from a transmitter is different at some locations, and, therefore, the location of a wireless terminal can be estimated by comparing the signal strength it currently observes against a map or database that correlates locations to signal strengths. For example, if a particular radio station is known to be received well at a first location and poorly at a second location, and a given wireless terminal at an unknown location is receiving the radio station poorly, it is more likely that the wireless terminal is at the second location than it is at the first location.
