  • Method, system and program for executing a query having a union operator
    Patent number: 7539667
    Abstract: Disclosed is a data processing system implemented method, a data processing system and an article of manufacture for executing a query having a union operator. A data processing system implemented method direct the data processing system to execute a query against a database having data objects. The query has sub-queries and having a union operator. The union operator is operable on sub-queries associated with the query. The database is operatively coupled to the data processing system.

  • Method, system, and program for executing a query having a union all operator and data modifying operations
    Patent number: 7533087
    Abstract: Disclosed is a data processing system, a data processing system implemented method and an article of manufacture for executing a query having a union all operator. The data processing system implemented method directs the data processing system to execute a query against a data object. The query has a union all operator and has a set of data modifying operators. The set of data modifying operators is associated with the union all operator. The union all operator references the data object. The data processing system implemented method includes preventing the union all operator from being applied to the data object, and applying the set of data modifying operators against the data object.

  • Method, system and program for executing a query having a UNION operator
    Patent number: 7409385
    Abstract: Disclosed is a data processing system implemented method, a data processing system and an article of manufacture for executing a query having a union operator. The data processing system implemented method directs the data processing system to process a query against data objects. The data objects are operatively coupled to the data processing system. The query includes a parent operator. The parent operator references a union operator. The union operator references sub-queries. The sub-queries reference the data objects. The data processing system implemented method includes noting a set of partitionings for the union operator, the noted set of partitionings being based on the sub-queries and being based on the data objects reference by the sub-queries, and executing the query having the union operator, the execution of the query being based on the noted set of partitionings and the parent operator.
