摘要： A relational data base management system includes a query processor that permits consideration of alternative query plans by the query optimizer so one table can be sent to a selected network location for subquery evaluation in consideration of maximum processing efficiency. Subqueries are converted from "predicate push-down" form to scalar subqueries, enabling upper tables to be sent to nodes of lower tables and vice versa, thereby permitting selection of the node direction depending on the least cost alternative. The optimizer of the query processor is presented with rewritten query code that permits more than one alternative for sending tables for evaluation. The optimizer evaluates the alternatives permitted by the rewritten code, determines the optimal plan for each alternative, and selects the least-cost plan from among the plans evaluated. Thus, the optimizer can decide to send an outer table to where a subquery table is located, or can decide to send a subquery table to where an outer table is located, depending on which is more efficient.

摘要： A method, apparatus, and article of manufacture for optimizing database queries. The query is analyzed to determine whether at least a portion of the query can be evaluated using a plurality of parallel operations without data redistribution. If so, then the most efficient query execution plan that uses these parallel operations is constructed and executed.

摘要： An automated methodology, and an apparatus for practicing the methodology, which enables the power and flexibility inherent in shared nothing parallel database systems (MPP) to be utilized on complex queries which have, heretofore, contained query elements requiring local computation or local coordination of data computation performed across the nodes of the distributed system. The present invention provides these features and advantages by identifying and marking the subgraphs containing these types of query elements as "no TQ zones" in the preparation phase prior to optimization. When the optimizer sees the markings, it builds a plan that will force the computation of the marked subgraphs to be in the same section. This preparation phase also provides the partitioning information for all inputs to the "no TQ zones". This allows the bottom-up optimizer to correctly plan the partitioning for the "no TQ zones". These partitionings can force the operation to a single-node, the coordinator node, the catalog node, or to a particular partition class on multiple nodes, or nodegroups.

摘要： A framework for a query compiler and run-time environment for resolving a table reference to a dynamic table that is first identified at run-time but is initially unknown at compile-time. A parser parses the table reference and creates a parsed representation for the table that identifies the type of dynamic table. A code generator creates executable plans containing run-time table object representations (TAOB), from the parsed representations, that contain the type of dynamic table. The TAOB is also extended to provide for parameters that are definable at run-time, including a table ID of the actual table entity being referenced. A routine is embedded in a run-time routine that checks the type of dynamic table in the TAOB and dispatches control to one of a plurality of corresponding routines, depending upon the type of dynamic table. The corresponding routines use the extended TAOB to dynamically link the table reference to the dynamic table, depending upon the type of dynamic table. Once the dynamic table has been linked to the table reference, query processing continues as if that table were a base or derived table.

摘要： An automated system for detecting and preventing mutating table violations of database integrity in a SQL query before generation and selection of an optimal query execution plan (QEP). This system modifies the query graph model (QGM) to restrict the choice of execution plans to those that avoid mutating table integrity (MTI) violations, thereby forcing database integrity during table mutation when executing the optimal QEP. Mutating table integrity violations are detected by evaluating the position in the QGM of each write-node referencing a particular base table with respect to each of the positions of all other read- and write-nodes referencing of the same base table. Every common-referencing node pair is tested for sequencing conflicts and a data-flow dam is inserted in the QGM where necessary or a poke query is inserted between the nodes to force the completion of the execution of one node before initiating execution of the other common-referencing node. The system of this invention allows processing of all non-cyclic and most cyclic SQL queries known to cause mutating table integrity violations, such as queries having searched and positioned inserts, deletes and updates, and row-level triggers.

摘要： A database system and method provide support for a positioned data set modification operation on a collection of data sets involved in a data set query operation, in which the data set modification operation is based on the position of a query execution iterator. At query compile time, the database system generates an iterator position retrieval function and a data set modification function for each data set involved in the query operation. At query execution time, the database system invokes each of the iterator retrieval functions until the iterator position retrieval function for a current open data set returns the current the position of the query execution iterator on that data set. The database system then invokes each of the data set modification functions until the data set modification function for the current open data set performs a data set modification operation at the current position of the query execution iterator specified by the iterator position retrieval function. The system and method may be implemented on single node systems and on multi-node shared-nothing parallelism architectures.

摘要： A system, method, and article of manufacture for supporting summary tables in a distributed database environment is disclosed. The system generally comprises a central program and a plurality of remote database systems that may be heterogeneous. The central program is configured to communicate with the database systems and to support summary tables (also referred to as materialized views) within the central program or within one or more of the database systems. The summary tables may contain summary data from one or more of the database systems. The central program may initiate the generation of summary tables, which may be populated local to the central program or local to one or more of the database systems. The central program may also maintain or coordinate maintenance of the summary tables. In addition, the central program may be configured to receive user queries on one or more of the database systems and to generate optimized query plans based upon the user queries, considering in so doing, the summary tables.
