Abstract

See full text

The present invention relates to an optimization method in a database management system having the function of accessing external databases. Conventionally, whether functions contained in a query can be executed in external databases depends on a database management system having the functions, and therefore there has been a problem in that a database utilization method cannot apply to query optimization and query execution performance is reduced. To solve the above problem, a database management system having the function of accessing external databases is provided with an optimization step comprising the steps of: obtaining specification about whether to execute functions in a query in external databases; determining whether data referred to in a query is confined to one database; and determining whether a user specifies that the functions in the query are executed in external databases.
