1 Internationa Journa of Engineering Technoogy Science and Research Voume 2 Issue 7 Juy 2015 Query Optimization Concepts in Distributed Database Rudrani sharma, Er. Pushpnee Verma, Er. Sachin Chaudhary Department Of Computer Science & Engineering Bhagwant Institute of Technoogy, Muzaffarnagar Abstract Query optimization is an important part of database management system. In this paper, through the research on query optimization technoogy, based on a number of optimization agorithms commony used in distributed query, It aims to arrive at an optima query processing pan for a given distributed query. As per the approach, the query pans having the required data residing cose to each other are considered more efficient and, therefore, these generated query pans woud resut in efficient query processing.. Keywords: Database, query processing, distributed query strategy, system mode, query processing cost, cost measures. Introduction In recent years, with the deveopment of computer network and database technoogy, distributed database is more and more widey used; with the expanding appication, data queries are increasingy compex, the efficiency requests are increasingy high, so query processing is a key issue of the distributed database system. In a distributed database environment, data stored at different sites connected through network. A distributed database management systems (DDBMS) support creation and maintenance of distributed database. The research iterature proposes a wide variety of query optimization agorithms. Yu/chang give comprehensive overviews on various query optimization techniques for distribute database management system [20]. However, these overviews do not attempt to deveop a mode of query optimization that expains and presents the agorithms in a uniform way. This understanding in case we want to change or extend existing agorithms to adapt them to new requirements. In this research we consider query processing agorithms for a Distributed Database system. There has been many research done on distributed query processing methods (see [2],[3]). Increased reiabiity and performance can aso be attained with a distributed database. A database systems must be abe to respond to requests for information from the user i.e. process queries. How a DBMS processes queries and the methods it uses to optimize their performance are topics that wi be covered in this paper. In certain sections of this paper, various concepts wi be iustrated with an exampe. Since many optimization agorithms differ in their computationa behavior whie refecting aspects of the impementation environment at the same time, it is the purpose of this paper to understand a of them by few simpe concepts. Finay, we summaries our findings and discuss future work. Genera aspects of optimization To provide a better understanding of what we mean by the term query, query processing and query optimization. Further we discuss the agorithms of query optimization that can found in a optimization agorithms described in the papers. Definitions And Exampes A. What Is A Query? A database query is the instructing a DBMS to update or retrieve specific data to/from the physicay stored medium. The actua updating and retrieva of data is performed through various ow-eve operations. Exampes of such operations for a reationa DBMS can be reationa agebra operations such as project, join, seect,cartesian product, etc. B. The Query Processor There are three phases that a query passes through during the DBMS processing of that query: 60 Rudrani sharma, Er. Pushpnee Verma, Er. Sachin Chaudhary

2 Internationa Journa of Engineering Technoogy Science and Research Voume 2 Issue 7 Juy Parsing and transation 2. Optimization 3. Evauation Most queries submitted to a DBMS are in a higheve anguage such as SQL. During the parsing and transation stage, the human readabe form of the query is transated into forms usabe by the DBMS. These can be in the forms of a reationa agebra expression, query tree and query graph. Consider the foowing SQL query: SELECT make FROM vehices WHERE make = Toyota. Query Graph After parsing and transation into a reationa agebra expression, the query is then transformed into a form, usuay a query tree or graph that can be handed by the optimization engine. The optimization engine then performs various anayses on the query data, generating a number of vaid evauation pans. From there, it determines the most appropriate evauation pan to execute. After the evauation pan has been seected, it is passed into the DMBS query-execution engine (aso referred to as the runtime database processor), where the pan is executed and the resuts are returned. B.1- Parsing and Transating the Query The first step in processing a query submitted to a DBMS is to convert the query into a form usabe by the query processing engine. High-eve query anguages such as SQL represent a query as a string, or sequence, of characters. Certain sequences of characters represent various types of tokens such as keywords, operators, operands, itera strings, etc. Like a anguages, there are rues (syntax and grammar) that govern how the tokens can be combined into understandabe (i.e. vaid) statements. The primary job of the parser is to extract the tokens from the raw string of characters and transate them into the corresponding interna data eements (i.e. reationa agebra operations and operands) and structures (i.e. query tree, query graph).the ast job of the parser is to verify the vaidity and syntax of the origina query string. B.2- Optimizing the Query In this stage, the query processor appies rues to the interna data structures of the query to transform these structures into equivaent, but more efficient representations. The rues can be based upon mathematica modes of the reationa agebra expression and tree (heuristics), upon cost estimates of different agorithms appied to operations or upon the semantics within the query and the reations it invoves. Seecting the proper rues to appy, when to appy them and how they are appied is the function of the query optimization engine. B.3- Evauating the Query The fina step in processing a query is the evauation phase. The best evauation pan candidate generated by the optimization engine is seected and then executed. (Note that there can exist mutipe methods of executing a query. Besides processing a query in a simpe sequentia manner, some of a query s individua operations can be processed in parae either as independent processes or as interdependent pipeines of processes or threads. Regardess of the method chosen, the actua resuts shoud be same.) C. Query Processing Query processing is defined as the activities invoved in parsing, vaidating, optimizing and executing a query. The main aim of query processing is Transform query written in high-eve anguage (e.g. SQL), into correct and efficient execution strategy expressed in ow-eve anguage (impementing Reationa Agebra) and to find information in one or more databases and deiver it to the user quicky and efficienty. D. Query Optimization Query optimization is defined as the activity of choosing an efficient execution strategy for processing a query. Query optimization is a part of query processing. The main aims of query optimization are to choose a 61 Rudrani sharma, Er. Pushpnee Verma, Er. Sachin Chaudhary

Distributed Query Processing Methodoogy: It contains four stages which are as foows: Query decomposition Normaization manipuate query quantifiers and quaification Anaysis detect and reject incorrect queries possibe for ony a subset of reationa cacuus Simpification eiminate redundant predicates Restructuring cacuus query agebraic query more than one transation is possibe use transformation rues data ocaization Input: Agebraic query on distributed reations Determine which fragments are invoved Locaization program substitute for each goba query its materiaization program optimize Goba query optimization Fragment query Find the best (not necessariy optima) goba schedue Minimize a cost function Distributed join processing 62 Rudrani sharma, Er.

To cope with the compexity heuristics and/or restricted types of trees are considered There are two main strategies in query optimization: randomized and deterministic (Few) semi-joins can used to impement a join. The semi-joins requires more operations to perform, however reduces the data transfer rate INGRES, System R, and Hi Cimbing agorithms are used to optimize queries References [1] C.Yu, Z M Ozoyogu, K.
