Provided is a method, system, and program for processing a query including a query operation on a table derived from a set operation on two result tables. The query operation is performed on each result table separately to produce two intermediate result tables. The set operator is then applied to the two intermediate result tables to produce a final result table that is a same result table that would have been produced by performing the query operation on the table derived from the set operation performed on the two result tables.

Disclosed is a method, system, and program for processing an aggregate function. Rows that contain a reference to intermediate result structures are grouped to form groups. For each group, aggregate element structures are formed from the intermediate result structures and, if the aggregate function specifies ordering, the aggregate element structures are sorted based on a sort key.

A method and system for efficiently identifying materialized view candidates for queries filters materialized views using certain criteria, using the materialized view signatures. This filtering rejects some of the unqualified materialized views prior to the performance of the query rewrite matching algorithm, resulting in a group of materialized view candidates. The query rewrite matching algorithm is then performed on the materialized view candidates. By first filtering the materialized views based on their signatures, the number of materialized views on which the query rewrite matching algorithm is performed is significantly reduced, improving performance.

Disclosed is a method, system, and program for processing a function. A set of nested functions are received. A composite function is generated for the set of nested functions. A tagging template is generated for the set of nested functions that corresponds to the composite function. A result is produced by evaluating the composite function using the tagging template.

A method, apparatus, and article of manufacture for analyzing a query and extending an access path selection for the query, in order to optimize joined table expressions and complex join operations in the query. The extension of the access path selection occurs in two phases: (1) an access path selection router analyzes and divides the query into portions, so that the overall access path selection is divided into smaller access path selections for processing by a join enumerator; and (2) the join enumerator is provided to handle joined table expressions and complex join operators, wherein the join enumerator can be continuously enhanced as more powerful query optimization techniques become available.

A query optimizer analyzes a query and triggers a sequence of transformations to achieve optimal performance for joined table expressions. The transformations include pushing down predicates for joined table expressions and pushing down non-null predicates to simplify join operators for joined table expressions.

A method, apparatus, and article of manufacture for optimizing a query in a computer system. During compilation of the query, a GROUP BY clause with one or more GROUPING SETS, ROLLUP or CUBE operations is maintained in its original form until after query rewrite. The GROUP BY clause with the GROUPING SETS, ROLLUP or CUBE operations is then translated into a plurality of levels having one or more grouping sets. After compilation of the query, a grouping sets sequence is dynamically determined for the GROUP BY clause with the GROUPING SETS, ROLLUP or CUBE operations based on intermediate grouping sets, in order to optimize the grouping sets sequence. The execution of the grouping sets sequence is optimized by selecting a smallest grouping set from a previous one of the levels as an input to a grouping set on a next one of the levels. Finally, a UNION ALL operation is performed on the grouping sets.

Disclosed is a method, system, and program for performing a join operation on a multi-column table and at least two satellite tables having a join condition. Each satellite table is comprised of multiple rows and at least one join column. The multi-column table is comprised of multiple rows and at least one column corresponding to the join column in each satellite table. A join operation is performed on the rows of the satellite tables to generate concatenated rows of the satellite tables. One of the concatenated rows is joined to the multi-column table and a returned entry from the multi-column table is received. A determination is then made as to whether the returned entry matches the search criteria. If so, a determination is made as to whether one of the satellite tables has duplicates of values in the join column of the returned matching entry or the multi-column table has duplicate entries in the join columns. Returned matching entries are generated for each duplicate value in the satellite tables and duplicate entry in the multi-column table.
摘要:
A method and system for Extensible Markup Language (XML) schema validation, includes: loading an XML document into a runtime validation engine, where the runtime validation engine includes an XML schema validation parser; loading an annotated automaton encoding (AAE) for an XML schema definition into the XML schema validation parser; and validating the XML document against the XML schema definition by the XML schema validation parser utilizing the annotated automaton encoding. Each XML schema definition is compiled once into the AAE format, rather than being compiled each time an XML document is validated, and thus significant time is saved. The code for the runtime validation engine is fixed and does not vary depending on the XML schema definition, rather than varying for each XML schema definition, and thus space overhead is minimized. Flexibility in the validation process is provided without compromising performance.
