  • Publication number: 20230205769
    Abstract: Joining data using a disjunctive operator is described. An example computer-implemented method can include generating, with a processing device, a query plan for a query, the query comprising a join operator expression for a disjunctive predicate, wherein the join operator expression includes a conjunctive predicate and a disjunctive operator. The method may further include generating a bloom filter for the disjunctive operator. Additionally, the method may include generating a result set as a result of evaluating the join operator expression using the disjunctive operator and bloom filter for the disjunctive predicate.

  • Patent number: 11615086
    Abstract: Joining data using a disjunctive operator is described. An example computer-implemented method can include generating a query plan for a query, wherein there is a join operator expression for each of a plurality of disjunctive predicates and each join operator expression includes at least a conjunctive predicate and a disjunctive operator. The method may also include generating a bloom filter for each of the plurality of disjunctive operators. The method may further include evaluating each of the plurality of join operator expressions using a corresponding one of the plurality of disjunctive operators and bloom filter for each of the plurality of disjunctive predicates to generate a result set.

  • Patent number: 11599537
    Abstract: Joining data using a disjunctive operator is described. An example computer-implemented method can include receiving a query that includes a first disjunctive predicate involving a first table and a second table. The method may also include determining a first set of rows from the first table and generating a filter from the first set of rows. The method may also further include applying the filter to the second table to generate a second set of rows. Additionally, the method may also include joining the first set of rows and the second set of rows using a first disjunctive operator of the first disjunctive predicate to generate a first results set.

  • Patent number: 11580103
    Abstract: Joining data using a disjunctive operator using a lookup table is described. An example computer-implemented method can include receiving a query with a set of conjunctive predicates and a set of disjunctive predicates. The method may also include generating a lookup table for each predicate in the sets of conjunctive predicates and disjunctive predicates. The method, for each row in a probe-side table, may also further include looking up a value associated with that row in each of the lookup tables and adding the row to a results set when there is a match. Additionally, the method may also include returning the results set.
