A method, apparatus, and stored instructions are provided for transforming a query representation by unnesting a predicate condition that is based on whether or not a result exists for a subquery of the predicate condition. An initial query representation is received. The initial query representation represents an initial query that includes an EXISTS-equivalent predicate or a NOT-EXISTS-equivalent predicate and at least one other predicate in a disjunction. The initial query representation is transformed into a semantically equivalent transformed query representation that represents a transformed query. The transformed query includes, instead of the EXISTS-equivalent predicate or a NOT-EXISTS-equivalent predicate, a join operator that references the data object. The transformed query representation, when used for execution, causes the at least one other predicate to be applied separately from a join operation caused by the join operator such that execution of the initial representation is semantically equivalent to execution of the transformed representation.

Techniques are provided for delaying evaluation of expensive expressions in a query. Expensive expressions in the query are established by cost information or by looking up a list of known expensive expressions for a match. After an execution plan is determined by using the early evaluation technique, one or more equivalent execution plans is established. The one or more equivalent execution plans may include both a type of execution plans that delay evaluation of expensive expressions and a type of execution plans that do not. In addition, the one or more equivalent execution plans may include both parallelized and non-parallelized alternatives to the execution plan identified by the early evaluation technique. Finally, based on a set of criteria, which may include comparing cost information among all the equivalent execution plans generated thus far, the best execution plan is chosen for the query.

Under a type of query transformation referred to herein as join factorization, the branches of an UNION/UNION ALL query that join a common table are combined to reduce accesses to the common table. The transformation can be expressed as (T1 join T2) union all (T1 join T3)=T1 join (T2 union all T3), where T1, T2 and T3 are three tables. A given query may be rewritten in many alternate ways using join factorization. Evaluating each alternative can be expensive. Therefore, the alternatives are generated and evaluated in a way that minimizes the cost of evaluating the alternatives.

摘要:
Techniques for sharing cursors are provided. When a new query is issued, a database server determines whether the new query is semantically equivalent to a previous query. If so, then database server computes statistics associated with the new query. Based on the statistics, the database server determines whether compiling the new query would produce an execution plan that satisfies certain criteria. If so, then the cursor is used to execute the new query. In another approach, one cursor sharing technique (CST) is used to determine which cursor to use to execute a first set of semantically-equivalent queries. Statistics are gathered during execution of the first set of queries. The database server determines, based on the statistics, when to switch from using the first CST to a different CST. The different CST is used to determine which cursor to use to execute a second set of queries that are semantically-equivalent to the first set.
摘要:
A method, apparatus, and computer program product with a persistent data structure for storing a profile of tuning information for a query statement separately from the query statement. The profile in the persistent data structure includes a statement signature to identify the query statement, and an action to tune the statement.

A method to addresses structural performance problems of a database query language statement is provided. The method includes receiving a database query language statement at an optimizer, evaluating choices in a search space to generate an execution plan for the statement, and producing annotations to record one or more reasons for selecting each choice while generating the execution plan.
摘要:
A method, system, and computer program product for high-performance database systems. The method commences by estimating, during a compile phase, a statically-calculated system cost of performing parallel join operations over two relations, then selecting, during the compile phase, a first distribution method to perform the parallel join operations. Instructions (e.g., table partitioning) are communicated to two or more execution units for execution of the parallel join operations, and during execution, various measurements are taken pertaining to the performance of a first portion of the parallel join operations using the selected first distribution method. Then, responsive to the measurements a second distribution method is selected and corresponding instructions are communicated to the two or more execution units. The parallel join operations continue, now using the second distribution method.
