Abstract: A database management system (DBMS) generates a query execution plan including information representing one or more database (DB) operations necessary for executing a query and executes the query based on the query execution plan. In the execution of the query, the DBMS dynamically generates a task for executing a DB operation and executes the dynamically generated task. The DBMS executes a task in a plurality of threads executed by a processor core.

Abstract: A database management system (DBMS) manages a database existing in a second storage device with an access speed lower than that of a first storage device. In an execution of a query, the DBMS dynamically generates tasks two or more executable tasks in parallel. The DBMS generates task start information which is information representing a content of the execution of the task, manages the task start information, and executes a content represented by the task start information by the task. The task start information includes a data address set existing in the second storage device. The DBMS controls movement of the data address sets between the first storage device and the second storage device based on a management state of the task start information. In addition, the DBMS selects the task start information based on whether or not the data address set exists in the first storage device.

Abstract: A database management system (DBMS) generates a query execution plan including information indicating one or more database (DB) operations necessary to execute the query. The DBMS dynamically generates a task for executing the DB operation in execution of the query. The DBMS performs a determination processing of simultaneous-task-generation number when newly creating a task. The determination processing of simultaneous-task-generation number is to calculate the number of simultaneous task generation, which is the number of tasks that can be generated simultaneously, based on the number of tasks which can be newly generated, a first memory resource amount which is the amount of memory resources necessary to be allocated per task newly generated, and a second memory resource amount which is the number of memory resources that can be newly allocated. The number of tasks generated dynamically and simultaneously is equal to or smaller than the calculated number of simultaneously generatable tasks.

Abstract: A database management system (DBMS) generates a query execution plan including information representing one or more database (DB) operations necessary for executing a query, and executes the query in accordance with the query execution plan. In the execution of the query, the DBMS dynamically generates tasks for executing the DB operations and executes the dynamically generated tasks. The query execution plan includes a plurality of query blocks, which are sets of one or more DB operations.

The determination processing of simultaneous-task-generation number is to calculate, targeting each of the query blocks, the number of simultaneous task generation, which is the number of tasks simultaneously generatable as tasks for executing the query block. The number of the dynamically generated tasks is equal to or smaller than the number of simultaneous task generation.

Abstract: Provided is a database system in which sorting of query results is sped up. The database system stores storage location information in which storage locations of the pieces of data are recorded in a given order. When there is no second task, which is executed based on data that is fetched in a first task, whether every piece of data requested in a third task, which is executed before the first task, has been fetched is determined. In the case where every piece of data requested in the third task has been fetched, data fetched in the first task is output. In the case where some of the data requested in the third task has not been fetched, data fetched in the first task is kept in a temporary buffer until every piece of data requested in the third task is fetched, and then output.

Abstract: Provided is a database management system obtains storage mapping information which associates addresses in a plurality of physical disk drives within the storage system and addresses in logical disk drives including these physical disk drives, to create queues individually for each of the plurality of physical disk drives. The database management system receives a plurality of read requests which request to read data out of the physical disk drives via the logical disk drives provided by the storage system, sorts the read requests by their destination, and accumulates the read requests in the respective queues associated with the request destination physical disk drives. The database management system reallocates the accumulated read requests into an order that shortens the data read time in each physical disk drive, and then issues the read requests to the storage system.
