摘要:
A method, apparatus and program product to optimize a database query. A query plan is generated for the database query where the query plan includes first and second subplans. Cached optimization data associated with the first subplan and generated during evaluation of another query plan for a previous query that uses the first subplan is retrieved. The first subplan is evaluated for resource cost using the retrieved optimization data. The second subplan is also evaluated for resource cost. The query plan is then evaluated for resource cost based upon the evaluations of resource cost for the first and second subplans. A query plan is selected based on evaluations of resource cost and the plan is executed to generate a result set.

An apparatus, program product and method identify a range of values in a table and advise the generation of a maintained index over the identified range of values. Additionally, a method that determines a range of values and generates a maintained temporary index is also provided. By doing so, the maintained index that was advised may be generated over the range of values in the column and used to access data in the table.

Embodiments of the invention provide techniques for generating database statistics for optimizing union queries. In general, working sets including samples of values in database columns are persistently maintained in a database. To optimize a union query, the working sets describing the columns included in the union query are combined to generate an ad hoc working set. The ad hoc working set is then used to generate a database statistic describing the combined columns. In another embodiment, working sets may also be maintained for generating statistics for optimizing non-union queries, thus enabling statistics to be refreshed more frequently.

Embodiments of the invention provide techniques for aggregating database queries for energy efficiency. In one embodiment, queries received by a DBMS are aggregated and staged according to hard-disk drives required for query execution. Each group of queries accessing a given drive may be dispatched for execution together. Further, the queries received by a DBMS may be matched to patterns of previously received queries. The matching patterns may be used to predict other queries which are likely to be received by the DBMS. The received queries may be staged to be dispatched with the predicted queries. By aggregating queries to be executed, access to each hard-disk drive may be optimized, thus reducing the overall energy consumption required for executing the queries.

Embodiments of the invention provide techniques for maintaining I/O value caches for database queries. Each maintained cache may be configured for use with a particular database query. Each cache may be persistently maintained in a system, meaning the cache is not automatically deleted after some period of time, and may thus be used to process subsequent instances of the same query. By use of the maintained cache, executing subsequent instances of the query may be avoided, thus saving time and system resources. Further, the maintained cache may be adapted to process other queries having similar characteristics to the initial query. The data included in each cache may be refreshed as required by changes to the underlying data.

摘要:
A method, apparatus and program product dynamically activate and/or deactivate buffers during execution of a database query. The dynamic deactivation and activation is based on the monitoring of information associated with the consumption of data by a plurality of threads during execution of an access plan for the database query. By doing so, the selection of a less optimal buffer position during optimization may be replaced with a more optimal buffer position during runtime, often resulting in improved query performance and parallelism.
