Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices for incrementally refreshing a materialized view are disclosed. A method includes generating a materialized view based on a source table. The method includes merging the source table and the materialized view to generate a merged table to identify whether an update has been executed on the source table that is not reflected in the materialized view. The method includes, in response to detecting an update made to the source table that is not reflected in the materialized view, applying the update to the materialized view.

Abstract: Techniques for database configurations for remote deployments include a method performed by a data platform executing instructions on at least one processor. The method includes provisioning by at least one hardware processor, a remote deployment of a data platform with a plurality of objects. The plurality of objects includes at least one task object associated with a primary deployment of the data platform. The method further includes detecting using the at least one task object of the plurality of objects, a request to replicate a database stored at the primary deployment of the data platform at the remote deployment. Responsive to the request, database data is pushed from the database stored at the primary deployment to at least a second object of the plurality of objects provisioned at the remote deployment.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for pre-filter deduplication for multidimensional two-sided interval joins. In an embodiment, a data platform receives query instructions for a two-sided N dimensional interval join, where N is an integer greater than 1. The two-sided N dimensional interval join has an interval-join predicate that compares intervals determined from the input relations in each of N dimensions. The data platform implements the two-sided N dimensional interval join as a query-plan section that includes an N dimensional band join that is followed by a deduplication operator that is followed by a filter that applies the interval-join predicate. The N dimensional band join includes a hash join keyed to N dimensional domain cells overlapped at least in part by intervals determined from the input relations in each of the N dimensions. The deduplication operator removes duplicate rows from a potential-duplicates subset of the output of the N dimensional band join.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for incremental reclustering of database tables based on local maxima of partition overlap. In an embodiment, a database platform makes a determination, based on one or more incremental-reclustering criteria, to incrementally recluster a database table, which has a clustering key and which is stored across a plurality of partitions. In response to making the determination, the database platform selects a subset of the partitions, and at least incrementally reclusters the selected subset. The selecting of the subset includes identifying a local maximum of a quantity of overlapping partitions in the plurality of partitions with respect to a domain of the clustering key of the table, where the overlapping partitions overlap with respect to the clustering key.

Abstract: Providing a private data exchange is described. An example computer-implemented method can include providing a data exchange by a cloud computing service on behalf of an entity. The data exchange may comprise several data listings provided by one or more data providers. The data listings reference one or more data sets stored in a data storage platform associated with the cloud computing service. The method may also include designating a data exchange administrator account of the data exchange. The data exchange administrator account may be associated with the entity and may be capable of: granting and denying requests from data consumers to access the data exchange; and granting and denying requests from data providers to publish data listings on the data exchange.

Abstract: A source table organized into a set of micro-partitions is accessed by a network-based data warehouse. A pruning index is generated based on the source table. The pruning index comprises a set of filters that indicate locations of distinct values in each column of the source table. A query directed at the source table is received at the network-based data warehouse. The query is processed using the pruning index. The processing of the query comprises pruning the set of micro-partitions of the source table to scan for data matching the query, the pruning of the plurality of micro-partitions comprising identifying, using the pruning index, a sub-set of micro-partitions to scan for the data matching the query.

Abstract: Example resource provisioning systems and methods are described. In one implementation, multiple processing resources are provided within a data warehouse. The processing resources include at least one processor and at least one storage device. At least one query to process database data is received. At least some of the processing resources may process the database data. When a processing capacity of the processing resources has reached a threshold processing capacity, the processing capacity is automatically scaled by adding at least one additional processor to the data warehouse.

Abstract: Row-level security (RLS) may provide fine-grained access control based on flexible, user-defined access policies to databases, tables, objects, and other data structures. A RLS policy may be an entity or object that defines rules for row access. A RLS policy may be decoupled or independent from any specific table. This allows more robust and flexible control. A RLS policy may then be attached to one or more tables. The RLS policy may include a Boolean-valued expression.

Abstract: The subject technology receives a first query plan corresponding to a first query, the first query plan comprising a new query plan different than a previous query plan for the first query. The subject technology determines a value indicating an estimated improvement in execution time of the first query plan in comparison to a previous execution time of the previous query plan. The subject technology, in response to determining that the value is greater than a threshold value, attempting to execute the first query using the first query plan, the attempting comprising determining that a second query plan selected among a plurality of query plans has a second estimated execution time that is less than an estimated execution time of the first query plan, and executing the first query at a subsequent time using the second query plan.

Abstract: A method includes partitioning a database table into a first plurality of partitions. A plurality of changes are executed on the database table in response to a transaction. The changes occur at a corresponding plurality of timestamps and result in a second plurality of partitions. The database table is updated to include a log with the plurality of changes. For each change of the plurality of changes, the log includes and an identification of a portion of the database table the change is applied to. A selection of a first timestamp and a second timestamp of the plurality of timestamps is detected. A delta is generated in response to the selection. The delta indicates a total change occurring to the database table between a first change of the plurality of changes corresponding to the first timestamp and a second change of the plurality of changes corresponding to the second timestamp.
