Abstract: A system and/or method are implemented to process queries to a database. In particular, the processing of queries to the database is enhanced by enhancing the determination of join orders of tables implicated in queries. Join orders between relatively large numbers of tables are determined by dividing the set of tables to be ordered into a plurality of subsets of tables, and ordering the individual subsets of tables.

Abstract: Method, system, and programs for providing enhanced query term suggestions. Candidate query terms may be obtained based on a prefix of incomplete query terms received. The candidate query terms may be ranked, at least partially based on, their similarities with respect to query terms previously entered in the same search session as the incomplete query term. In some implementations, for determining such similarities, feature vectors and/or signatures may be stored in association with query terms. Similarity between a candidate query term and query terms in the same search session as the incomplete query term may be determined using the feature vectors and/or signatures associated therewith.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention disclose a computer program product for rebalancing partitioned data based, at least in part, on limit key extrapolation in a database and one or more characteristics of the plurality of database partitions. Responsive to a determination that an upper limit key value of the last loaded record is greater than an upper limit key value of an empty partition, the computer redefines the upper limit key value of the empty partition using an extrapolated upper limit key value that is based, at least in part, on a range of limit key values. The computer updates one or more characteristics of the database, wherein the one or more characteristics include one or both of a) an average number of records per partition, and b) an average number of unique limit key values per partition.
