  2. Query optimization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Query_optimization

    Classical query optimization associates each query plan with one scalar cost value. Parametric query optimization [9] assumes that query plan cost depends on parameters whose values are unknown at optimization time. Such parameters can for instance represent the selectivity of query predicates that are not fully specified at optimization time ...

  3. Query plan - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Query_plan

    Some query tools can generate embedded hints in the query, for use by the optimizer. Some databases - like Oracle - provide a plan table for query tuning. This plan table will return the cost and time for executing a query. Oracle offers two optimization approaches: CBO or Cost Based Optimization; RBO or Rule Based Optimization

  4. Patricia Selinger - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patricia_Selinger

    She played a fundamental role in the development of System R, a pioneering relational database implementation, and wrote the canonical paper on relational query optimization. [2] She is a pioneer in relational database management and inventor of the technique of cost-based query optimization.

  5. Query language - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Query_language

    A query language, also known as data query language or database query language (DQL), is a computer language used to make queries in databases and information systems. In database systems, query languages rely on strict theory to retrieve information. [1] A well known example is the Structured Query Language (SQL).

  6. Data dictionary - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_dictionary

    The terms data dictionary and data repository indicate a more general software utility than a catalogue. A catalogue is closely coupled with the DBMS software. It provides the information stored in it to the user and the DBA, but it is mainly accessed by the various software modules of the DBMS itself, such as DDL and DML compilers, the query optimiser, the transaction processor, report ...

  7. Dimensional modeling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dimensional_modeling

    Query optimization for star-joined databases is simple, predictable, and controllable. Extensibility. Dimensional models are scalable and easily accommodate unexpected new data. Existing tables can be changed in place either by simply adding new data rows into the table or executing SQL alter table commands.

  8. Sargable - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sargable

    A query failing to be sargable is known as a non-sargable query and typically has a negative effect on query time, so one of the steps in query optimization is to convert them to be sargable. The effect is similar to searching for a specific term in a book that has no index, beginning at page one each time, instead of jumping to a list of ...

  9. Database tuning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Database_tuning

    Database tuning describes a group of activities used to optimize and homogenize the performance of a database.It usually overlaps with query tuning, but refers to design of the database files, selection of the database management system (DBMS) application, and configuration of the database's environment (operating system, CPU, etc.).
