Abstract

Commercial database systems expose query hints to address situations in which the optimizer chooses a poor plan for a given query. However, current query hints are not flexible enough to deal with a variety of non-trivial scenarios. In this paper, we introduce a hinting framework that enables the specification of rich constraints to influence the optimizer to pick better plans. We show that while our framework unifies previous approaches, it goes considerably beyond existing hinting mechanisms, and can be implemented efficiently with moderate changes to current optimizers.

The use of Hints in SQL-Nested query optimization

The query optimization phase in query processing plays a crucial role in choosing the most efficient strategy for executing a query. In this paper, we study an optimization technique for SQL-Nested queries using Hints. Hints are additional comments that ...
