  • Patent number: 11281668
    Abstract: A database engine receives a query batch of database queries from a client. The database engine identifies one or more object model queries from the query batch. Each object model query includes an outer-most outer-join that joins a respective dimension subquery and respective aggregated measure subqueries. The database engine forms a plurality of candidate subqueries by peeling off the respective outer-most outer-join for each of the object model queries. The database engine then fuses at least some of the plurality of candidate subqueries to form a set of optimized subqueries. The set of optimized subqueries has fewer subqueries than the plurality of candidate queries. The database engine also forms an optimized execution plan based on the set of one or more optimized subqueries. The database engine subsequently obtains a result set from the database based on the optimized execution plan, and returns the result set to the client.

  • Publication number: 20220083563
    Abstract: Embodiments are directed to visualizing data. A computed field that includes input fields and an object model that includes objects may be provided. One or more of the objects may be determined based on the input fields such that each input field corresponds to a determined object. A sub-graph may be generated based on the determined objects. Zero or more determined objects may be pruned from the sub-graph based on a traversal of the sub-graph and characteristics of the determined objects such that each pruned object may be determined to be an attribute of at least one of the determined objects. In response to the iterative pruning providing one remaining determined object in the sub-graph, assigning the remaining determined object as a parent of the computed field.
