    摘要: A hierarchy may be explicitly or implicitly reflected in existing data maintained external to hierarchy structures. Such hierarchies are referred to herein as a nullpre-existing hierarchiesnull. Techniques are described herein for capturing a pre-existing hierarchy in hierarchy structures. After a pre-existing hierarchy has been captured, there exist two independent sets of data that reflect the hierarchy: the external hierarchy definition and the internal hierarchy definition. Changing either hierarchy definition changes the hierarchy. Therefore, to maintain a consistent reflection of the hierarchy, the internal hierarchy definition must be modified in response to changes made to the external hierarchy definition, and the external hierarchy definition must be modified in response to changes made to the internal hierarchy definition. Various techniques are described for maintaining consistency between the two hierarchy definitions.

    摘要: A method and mechanism to improve the response time of a query that is executed against a partitioned database object. Only a subset or portion of the partitions are accessed during each pass through the partitions, in which only the retrieved portions of the partitions are processed, and in which results can be immediately returned for the query. Processing only a subset of a partition in a given pass permits each partition to be processed multiple times, rather than requiring a first partition to be entirely processed before processing a second partition. In one approach, the query includes a statement to order the result set for a query against a partitioned database object that contains a local index.
