This is a COMPLETE BibTeX bibliography for the International Conferences on Very Large Data Bases (1975--date).
There is a World-Wide Web site for the conferences at
with coverage of all conferences from 1975 to date, and with pointers to Web pages for the VLDB Journal. That journal is completely covered in the companion bibliography, vldbj.bib.
The companion bibliography pods.bib covers the ACM SIGACT-SIGMOD Symposia on Principles of Database Systems, and the companion bibliography tods.bib covers the ACM Transactions on Database Systems.
The URL values in the BibTeX entries below point to abstracts, online article text, and hypertext-linked article reference lists.
The conference Web pages include pointers to author-specific pages that in turn point to other articles by the same author. Those pointers are included in the authorURL values in the BibTeX entries below.
At version 2.10, the complete year coverage looked like this:
1975 ( 53) 1985 ( 45) 1995 ( 73)

This bibliography was initially built from searches in the OCLC Content1st database. Additions were then made from all of the bibliographies in the TeX User Group collection, from bibliographies in the author's personal files, from the IEEE INSPEC CD-ROM database (1989--1995), from the Compendex database, from the American Mathematical Society MathSciNet database, and from the computer science bibliography collection on ftp.ira.uka.de in /pub/bibliography to which many people of have contributed. The snapshot of this collection was taken on 5-May-1994, and it consists of 441 BibTeX files, 2,672,675 lines, 205,289 entries, and 6,375 <at>String{} abbreviations, occupying 94.8MB of disk space.
Numerous errors in the sources noted above have been corrected. Spelling has been verified with the UNIX spell and GNU ispell programs using the exception dictionary stored in the companion file with extension .sok.
BibTeX citation tags are uniformly chosen as name:year:abbrev, where name is the family name of the first author or editor, year is a 4-digit number, and abbrev is a 3-letter condensation of important title words. Citation labels were automatically generated by software developed for the BibNet Project.
In this bibliography, entries are sorted in publication order, with the help of ``bibsort -byvolume''. The bibsort utility is available from ftp.math.utah.edu in /pub/tex/bib.
The checksum field above contains a CRC-16 checksum as the first value, followed by the equivalent of the standard UNIX wc (word count) utility output of lines, words, and characters. This is produced by Robert Solovay's checksum utility.
