Abstract

See full text

A method, apparatus and program product is provided for optimizing a database query. A query syntax, system generated predicates, and requisite statistics of the database query are analyzed to determine if a predicate structure is a good candidate for a symbol table only data structure. The predicate structure is analyzed to determine if the predicate structure is already encompassed by an encoded vector index. The symbol table only data structure is generated for at least one column in a database table without generating a corresponding vector data structure from an encoded vector index if the predicate structure is a good candidate and not encompassed by an encoded vector index. The symbol table only data structure is maintained by detecting a change in data associated with the symbol table only data structure and updating the symbol table only data structure to reflect the change in the data.
