Title
Parametric Query Optimization for Linear and Piecewise Linear Cost Functions
Abstract
The cost of a query plan depends on many pa- rameters, such as predicate selectivities and available memory, whose values may not be known at optimization time. Parametric query optimization (PQO) optimizes a query into a number of candidate plans, each opti- mal for some region of the parameter space. We rst propose a solution for the PQO prob- lem for the case when the cost functions are linear in the given parameters. This solution is minimally intrusive in the sense that an ex- isting query optimizer can be used with minor modications: the solution invokes the con- ventional query optimizer multiple times, with dieren t parameter values. We then propose a solution for the PQO prob- lem for the case when the cost functions are piecewise-linear in the given parameters. The solution is based on modication of an exist- ing query optimizer. This solution is quite general, since arbitrary cost functions can be approximated to piecewise linear form. Both the solutions work for an arbitrary number of parameters.
