  • Publication number: 20230281201
    Abstract: A method for on-demand access to table partitions may include receiving, at a data execution engine, a query accessing a database table divided into a first partition and a second partition stored at different nodes of the database. The data execution engine may respond to the query by acquiring a lock on the database table and instantiating data structures to support the execution of the query without loading any of the partitions of the database table into a main memory. Instead, the loading of the individual partitions of the database table may be delegated to the operators tasked with performing the operations included in the execution plan for the query. Each operator may refrain from loading those partitions of the database table that are determined to be unnecessary for performing the individual operations. Related systems and computer program products are also provided.

  • Publication number: 20230281055
    Abstract: A method for allocating worker threads may include receiving a first fetch call for a query accessing a dataset stored at a database. The first fetch call may require a first portion of a result for the query. A first quantity of worker threads may be allocated to generate the first portion of the result for the query in response to the first fetch call. In response to a second fetch call for the query by determining a threshold corresponding to the first quantity of worker threads, a second quantity of data required for the second fetch call, and a third quantity of data buffered from the first fetch call. A second quantity of worker threads to generate a second portion of the result for the query may be allocated based on the threshold. Related systems and computer program products are also provided.

  • Publication number: 20230214393
    Abstract: Aspects of the current subject matter are directed to providing query results to clients by incorporating pause and/or detach operations into the query execution after a first fetch of results. The pause and the detach operations for query execution consistent with implementations of the current subject matter result in reduced times and conserved resources in providing query results by computing only results necessary to satisfy a first fetch call prior to computing results necessary to satisfy subsequent fetch calls.

  • Patent number: 11580106
    Abstract: A method may include responding to a query to retrieve data from a database by identifying a plurality of query execution plans. An overall robustness value may be determined for each query execution plan. The overall robustness value of a query execution plan may correspond to a sum of individual robustness values for each operator included in the query execution plan. Each operator may have an individual robustness value that corresponds to a first change in a total cost of a query execution plan including the operator relative to a second change in an output cardinality of the operator. One of the plurality of query execution plans may be selected based on the overall robustness value of each of the plurality of query execution plans. The query may be executed by performing a sequence of operators included in the selected one of the plurality of query execution plan.

  • Patent number: 11556537
    Abstract: Aspects of the current subject matter are directed to executing queries on tables in which one or more columns contain a single value. Upon execution of a query, columns in which a single value is contained are identified, and a pre-compiled code entry containing relevant identifying information is compiled as part of a query execution plan. The query execution plan is used for subsequent query executions, alleviating the need to access the columns during the subsequent query executions that involve the columns. A fingerprint value may be used to track if changes to relevant tables occur.

    Abstract: A method, a system, and a computer program product for generating a query executable plan. A query requiring access to data stored in a database system is received. Based on the received query, a query execution plan having a plurality of query execution pipelines is generated. Each query execution pipeline in the plurality of query execution pipelines is configured to execute a plurality of operations in a predetermined order associated with each query execution pipeline. The generated query execution plan is fragmented into a plurality of fragments. Each fragment has one or more query execution pipelines in the plurality of query execution pipelines. The received query is executed by executing each fragment in the plurality of fragments.

  • Patent number: 11386102
    Abstract: A query is received at a database execution engine. The query is executed by the database execution engine, the executing including executing one or more threads that operate on versions of data of the delta fragment; acquiring and releasing, by a first thread, a latch on a first version of the data of the delta fragment, the releasing is performed prior to the first thread entering a wait state; and reclaiming the first version of the data of the delta fragment from memory and during execution of the query. Related systems, methods, and articles of manufacture are also described.

  • Patent number: 11372927
    Abstract: A method, a system, and a computer program product for executing a query in a database system. A query plan for execution of a query is generated. The query requires access to at least one table stored in a database system. One or more occurrences of one or more duplicate predicates is detected in the query plan. In response to detecting a first occurrence of the duplicate predicates, one or more intermediate query execution results responsive to the duplicate predicates are generated. The generated intermediate query execution results are cached. Query execution results incorporating cached intermediate query execution results being responsive to each occurrence of the duplicate predicates subsequent to the first occurrence of the duplicate predicates in the query plan are generated.

  • Publication number: 20220100715
    Abstract: A physio-logical migration of a database from a source system to a target system may include exporting a catalog of the database in a data interchange format that preserves the hierarchical dependencies present amongst the entities included in the catalog. The physio-logical migration of the database may further include exporting the contents of a table in the database in a binary format compatible at the target system. The binary format may be a data buffer having a metadata portion, a fixed-size portion, and a page chain portion. Where the target system is a cloud-based system, the physio-logical migration of the database may include exporting the catalog and the contents of the table to a cloud-based object store before importing the catalog and the contents of the table to the target system. Related systems and articles of manufacture, including computer program products, are also provided.
