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.

Techniques are provided for performing a parallel aggregation operation on data that resides in a container, such as a relational table. During generation of the execution plan for the operation, it is determined whether partition-wise aggregation should be performed, based on the grouping keys involved in the aggregation and the partition keys used to partition the container. If partition-wise aggregation is to be performed, then the assignments given to the slave processes that are assigned to scan a container are made on a partition-wise basis. The scan slaves themselves may perform full or partial aggregation (depending on whether they are the only scan slaves assigned to the partition). If the scan slaves perform no aggregation, or only partial aggregation, then the scan slaves redistribute the data items to aggregation slaves that are local to the scan slaves.

Various techniques are described for processing database commands that include MINUS and/or INTERSECT operators. The queries containing the MINUS and/or INTERSECT operators are transformed to create a plurality of transformed queries. Each of the transformed queries produces the same result as the original query, but does not include the MINUS and/or INTERSECT operator. To achieve the same result set as the original query, the transformed queries employ equijoins, antijoins, and/or semijoins, and duplicate elimination operations. Costs are estimated for each of the various transformed queries. Based on the cost estimates, one of the transformed queries is selected as the query that is to be executed to perform the operations specified in the original query.

Various techniques are described for processing database commands that include MINUS and/or INTERSECT operators. According to one technique, the database server executes the MINUS/INTERSECT in a specialized rowsource in parallel. In one approach, the specialized rowsource implements a sort merge-join like solution, where: a DISTINCT SORT is performed on each input, a left and right pointer is maintained on the respective input streams of tuples, the left or right pointer is incremented based on whether there is a match between the tuples pointed-to by the pointers, and the tuple of the left side is returned (or not returned) based on whether there is a match. Techniques are described for generating multiple query plans for executing a query, where each of the query plans includes a plan portion for executing, in parallel, the operation associated with a MINUS/INTERSECT operator. Cost estimates are generated for the query plans. The database server selects from the query plans a particular query plan to execute based, at least in part, on the cost estimates.

摘要:
A database statement is processed in a multi-server system, in a manner to increase the possibility that slave server processes on remote nodes will generate execution plans that are equivalent to the corresponding execution plan generated by the query coordinator process. A set of hints is generated based on the same information on which the master plan is based. The set of hints is sent to remote nodes, where respective remote plans are generated based in part on the set of hints. Use of the hints in generation of the remote plan increases the possibility that the remote plan will be equivalent to the master plan and that the slaves on the other database server will be able to join in parallel processing of the database statement.

Techniques are provided for processing, within a database server, a database statement, where at least one subtask required by the database statement is to be executed in parallel by a slave set. The database server determines whether the database statement includes an external expression, relative to the subtask, that (a) produces information that is required by slave processes in the slave set in order to perform the subtask, and (b) is not to be evaluated by each slave process in the slave set. During execution of the statement, if the database statement includes an external expression, then one or more external values are generated by causing the external expression to be evaluated, and the one or more external values are communicated to slaves of the slave set to allow the slave processes to perform respective portions of the subtask in parallel, without requiring each slave of the slave set to evaluate the external expression.
