Patent number: 11016970Abstract: Trace data is received for a first execution of a first query on first tables having first data values. Second data values are generated for second tables from the trace data and without accessing the first data values. The second data values are configured to reproduce, by a second execution of a second query, the evaluation states from the first execution. Evaluation states from the first execution are reproduced without accessing the first data values by performing the second execution of the second query on the second data values. The first execution evaluates only a first subset of the first data values and the generating the second data values from the trace data generates second data values corresponding to the first subset. The second execution only evaluates ones of the second data values that correspond to data values of the first subset.Type: GrantFiled: August 7, 2019Date of Patent: May 25, 2021Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: James A.
