摘要:
A database object summarization tool is provided that selects a subset of database objects subject to filtering constraints such as a partial order or optimization of some attribute. A dominance primitive filters out tuples that are dominated according to a partial order constraint by another tuple. A representation primitive selects a representative subset of tuples such than an optimization criteria is met.

Technology is described for transformation rule profiling for a query optimizer. The method can include obtaining a database query configured to be optimized by the query optimizer of a database system. An optimized query plan for the database query can be found using a host set of transformation rules. One transformation rule can be removed and checked at a time. Each transformation rule can be checked to determine whether the transformation rule affects an optimal query plan output. A test query plan can be generated after each transformation rule has been removed. The query optimizer can determine whether the test query plan is different than the optimized query plan in the absence of the removed transformation rule. An equivalent set of transformation rules can be created that includes transformation rules where the test query plan generated from the equivalent set of transformation rules is equivalent to the optimized plan.

摘要:
An exact cardinality query optimization system and method for optimizing a query having a plurality of expressions to obtain a cardinality-optimal query execution plan for the query. Embodiments of the system and method use various techniques to shorten the time necessary to obtain the cardinality-optimal query execution plan, which contains the query execution plan when all cardinalities are exact. Embodiments of the system and method include a covering queries technique that leverages query execution feedback to obtain an unordered subset of relevant expressions for the query, an early termination technique that bounds the cardinality to determine whether the processing can be terminate before each of the expressions are executed, and an expressions ordering technique that finds an ordering of expressions that yields the greatest reduction in time to obtain the cardinality-optimal query execution plan.
摘要:
An automated physical database design tool may provide an integrated physical design recommendation for horizontal partitioning, indexes and indexed views, all three features being tuned together (in concert). Manageability requirements may be specified when optimizing for performance. User-specified configuration may enable the specification of a partial physical design without materialization of the physical design. The tuning process may be performed for a production server but may be conducted substantially on a test server. Secondary indexes may be suggested for XML columns. Tuning of a database may be invoked by any owner of a database. Usage of objects may be evaluated and a recommendation for dropping unused objects may be issued. Reports may be provided concerning the count and percentage of queries in the workload that reference a particular database, and/or the count and percentage of queries in the workload that reference a particular table or column. A feature may be provided whereby a weight may be associated with each statement in the workload, enabling relative importance of particular statements to be specified. An in-row length for a column may be specified. If a value for the column exceeds the specified in-row length for that column, the portion of the value not exceeding the specified in-row length may be stored in the row while the portion of the value exceeding the specified in-row length may be stored in an overflow area. Rebuild and reorganization recommendations may be generated.
摘要:
A method of estimating the Results of a database query are estimated by performing a sampling of weighted tuples in a database based on a probability of usage of tuples required in executing a workload. A probability is associated with each tuple sampled. And, can aggregate is computed over values in each sampled tuple while multiplying by the inverses of the probabilities associated with each tuple sampled.
摘要:
A method for estimating the result of a query on a database having data records arranged in tables. The database has an expected workload that includes a set of queries that can be executed on the database. An expected workload is derived comprising a set of queries that can be executed on the database. A sample is constructed by selecting data records for inclusion in the sample in a manner that minimizes an estimation error when the data records are acted upon by a query in the expected workload to provide an expected workload to provide an expected result. The query accesses the sample and is executed on the sample, returning an estimated query result. The expected workload can be constructed by specifying a degree of overlap between records selected by queries in the given workload and records selected by queries in the expected workload.

An index selection tool helps reduce costs in time and memory in selecting an index configuration or set of indexes for use by a database server in accessing a database in accordance with a workload of queries. The index selection tool attempts to reduce the number of indexes to be considered, the number of index configurations to be enumerated, and the number of invocations of a query optimizer in selecting an index configuration for the workload.
摘要:
A method for evaluating a user query on a database having a mining model that classifies records contained in the database into classes when the query comprises at least one mining predicate that refers to a class of database records. An upper envelope is derived for the class referred to by the mining predicate corresponding to a query that returns a set of database records that includes all of the database records belonging to the class. The upper envelope is included in the user query for query evaluation. The method may be practiced during a preprocessing phase by evaluating the mining model to extract a set of classes of the database records and deriving an upper envelope for each class. These upper envelopes are stored for access during user query evaluation.
