I suggest checking into the recent Springer-Verlag book, Query
Processing in Database Systems, Kim, Reiner, Batory, eds, ISBN
3-540-13831-5.

This covers recent work in QO for distributed and centralized 
relational systems, multiple data models, CAD systems, database
machines, etc. etc.

I recommend this book to anyone looking for a fairly state-of-the-art
overview, at roughly a grad-student level, of query optimization techniques
and research.

Bear in mind that I have an inherant bias as one of the editors of the
book ...
