Abstract

See full text

A system and method for a relational database system for identifying star joins in a query and for breaking the query down for bitmap ANDing. The fact table of the star join is located, and cycles between and within dimension tables are broken. Then, the minimal set of tables necessary to execute the star join is identified, and the dimension tables that should appear in the bitmap ANDing plan are also identified. A bitmap ANDing plan is then generated, or, if the query does not qualify for bitmap ANDing, a conventional execution plan is generated.
