Email: {David.Taniar,Haorianto.Tjioe}@infotech.monash.edu.au †Department of Computer Science and Computer Engineering, La Trobe University, Bundoora, Victoria 3803, Australia Email: [email protected] Object-Relational queries are queries which can handle data objects feature on the existing relational data environment. REF is one of most impor- tant data structures in Object-Relational Databases can be explained as a logical pointer to define the link between two tables which similar func- tion to pointers in object oriented programming language. There are three ways of writing REF join queries which are: REF Join, Path Expression Join and DEREF/VALUE Join. In this paper, we study optimization technique for Object-Relational queries using hints. Hints are additional comments which are inserted into an SQL statement for the purpose of instructing or suggesting the optimizer to perform the specified operations. We utilize various hints including Optimizer hints, Table join and anti-join hints, and Access method hints. We analyse performance of various object-relation- al queries particularly in three ways of writing REF queries using the TRACE and TKPROF utilities which provide query execution statistics and exe- cution plans.

Power Hints for Query Optimization
Power Hints for Query Optimization Nicolas Bruno, Surajit Chaudhuri, Ravi Ramamurthy Microsoft Research, USA {nicolasb,surajitc,ravirama}@microsoft.com Abstract— Commercial database systems expose query hints database administrators need to “tweak” and correct the wrong to address situations in which the optimizer chooses a poor choices that led the optimizer to pick a poor execution plan. plan for a given query. However, current query hints are not For that purpose, a common mechanism found in commer- flexible enough to deal with a variety of non-trivial scenarios. In this paper, we introduce a hinting framework that enables cial database systems is called query hinting. Essentially, query the specification of rich constraints to influence the optimizer hints instruct the optimizer to constrain its search space to to pick better plans. We show that while our framework unifies a certain subset of execution plans (see Section VIII for an previous approaches, it goes considerably beyond existing hinting overview of existing query hints in commercial products). The mechanisms, and can be implemented efficiently with moderate following example clarifies the concept and usage of query changes to current optimizers. hints. Consider the query below: I. INTRODUCTION SELECT R.a, S.b, T.c FROM R, S, T Relational database management systems (DBMSs) let users WHERE R.x = S.y AND S.y = T.z AND R.d < 10 AND S.e > 15 AND T.f < 20 specify queries using high level declarative languages such as SQL. The query optimizer of the DBMS is then responsible for and suppose that the optimizer returns the query plan in finding an efficient execution plan to evaluate the input query.
