  • Query Optimization Techniques - Tips for Writing Efficient and Faster SQL Queries
    INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC & TECHNOLOGY RESEARCH VOLUME 4, ISSUE 10, OCTOBER 2015 ISSN 2277-8616 Query Optimization Techniques - Tips For Writing Efficient And Faster SQL Queries Jean HABIMANA Abstract: SQL statements can be used to retrieve data from any database. If you've worked with databases for any amount of time retrieving information, it's practically given that you've run into slow running queries. Sometimes the reason for the slow response time is due to the load on the system, and other times it is because the query is not written to perform as efficiently as possible which is the much more common reason. For better performance we need to use best, faster and efficient queries. This paper covers how these SQL queries can be optimized for better performance. Query optimization subject is very wide but we will try to cover the most important points. In this paper I am not focusing on, in- depth analysis of database but simple query tuning tips & tricks which can be applied to gain immediate performance gain. ———————————————————— I. INTRODUCTION Query optimization is an important skill for SQL developers and database administrators (DBAs). In order to improve the performance of SQL queries, developers and DBAs need to understand the query optimizer and the techniques it uses to select an access path and prepare a query execution plan. Query tuning involves knowledge of techniques such as cost-based and heuristic-based optimizers, plus the tools an SQL platform provides for explaining a query execution plan.The best way to tune performance is to try to write your queries in a number of different ways and compare their reads and execution plans.

What is query processing in detail: Query processing means set of activity that involves you to retrieve the database In other word we can say that it is process to breaking the high level language into low level language which machine understand and perform the requested action for user. Query processor in the DBMS performs this task. Query processing have three phase i. Parsing and transaction ii. Query optimization iii. Query evaluation Lets see the three phase in details : 1) Parsing and transaction : 1 PREPARED BY: RAHUL PATEL LECTURER IN COMPUTER DEPARTMENT (BSPP) PL/SQL . Check syntax and verify relations. Translate the query into an equivalent . relational algebra expression. 2) Query optimization : . Generate an optimal evaluation plan (with lowest cost) for the query plan. 3) Query evaluation : . The query-execution engine takes an (optimal) evaluation plan, executes that plan, and returns the answers to the query Let us discuss the whole process with an example. Let us consider the following two relations as the example tables for our discussion; Employee(Eno, Ename, Phone) Proj_Assigned(Eno, Proj_No, Role, DOP) where, Eno is Employee number, Ename is Employee name, Proj_No is Project Number in which an employee is assigned, Role is the role of an employee in a project, DOP is duration of the project in months. With this information, let us write a query to find the list of all employees who are working in a project which is more than 10 months old. SELECT Ename FROM Employee, Proj_Assigned WHERE Employee.Eno = Proj_Assigned.Eno AND DOP > 10; Input: .

  • An Overview of Query Optimization
    An Overview of Query Optimization Why? Improving query processing time. Fast response is important in several db applications. Is it possible? Yes, but relative. A query can be evaluated in several ways. We can list all of them and then find the best among them. Sometime, we might not be able to do it because of the number of possible ways to evaluate the query is huge. We need to settle for a compromise: we try to find one that is reasonably good. Typical Query Evaluation Steps in DBMS. The DBMS has the following components for query evaluation: SQL parser, quey optimizer, cost estimator, query plan interpreter. The SQL parser accepts a SQL query and generates a relational algebra expression (sometime, the system catalog is considered in the generation of the expression). This expression is fed into the query optimizer, which works in conjunction with the cost estimator to generate a query execution plan (with hopefully a reasonably cost). This plan is then sent to the plan interpreter for execution. How? The query optimizer uses several heuristics to convert a relational algebra expression to an equivalent expres- sion which (hopefully!) can be computed efficiently. Different heuristics are (see explaination in textbook): (i) transformation between selection and projection; 1. Cascading of selection: σC1∧C2 (R) ≡ σC1 (σC2 (R)) 2. Commutativity of selection: σC1 (σC2 (R)) ≡ σC2 (σC1 (R)) 0 3. Cascading of projection: πAtts(R) = πAtts(πAtts0 (R)) if Atts ⊆ Atts 4. Commutativity of projection: πAtts(σC (R)) = σC (πAtts((R)) if Atts includes all attributes used in C. (ii) transformation between Cartesian product and join; 1.

  • Query Optimization
    Query Optimization Query Processing: Query processing refers to activities including translation of high level languages (HLL) queries into operations at physical file level, query optimization transformations, and actual evaluation of queries. Steps in Query Processing: Function of query parser is parsing and translation of HLL query into its immediate form relation algebraic expression. A parse tree of the query is constructed and then translated in to relational algebraic expression. Example: consider the following SQL query: SELECT s.name FROM reserves R, sailors S Where R.sid=S.sid AND R.bid=100 And S.rating>5 Its corresponding relational algebraic expression Query Optimization : Query optimization is the process of selecting an efficient execution plan for evaluating the query. After parsing of the query, parsed query is passed to query optimizer, which generates different execution plans to evaluate parsed query and select the plan with least estimated cost. Catalog manager helps optimizer to choose best plan to execute query generating cost of each plan. Query optimization is used for accessing the database in an efficient manner. It is an art of obtaining desired information in a predictable, reliable and timely manner. Formally defines query optimization as a process of transforming a query into an equivalent form which can be evaluated more efficiently. The essence of query optimization is to find an execution plan that minimizes time needed to evaluate a query. To achieve this optimization goal, we need to accomplish two main tasks. First one is to find out the best plan and the second one is to reduce the time involved in executing the query plan.
