SQL Server contains a component known as query optimizer, which automatically takes a query passed to it and attempts to execute the query in the most efficient way. A database administrator should be essentially aware of the factors that govern query optimization, what pitfalls there are, and ...
a user runs a query that selects approximately half of a table’s data. The user runs the query when the server is heavily tasked with multiple simultaneous connections. In this scenario, the query optimizer may decide to use a query plan that calls on ...
The answer is not so simple. From the storage prospective it does not really matter. Row stores actual data size + 2 bytes in offset array. The question though is how it affects performance. When Query Optimizer generates the query plan, it needs to estimate how much memory needed for the...

Parser: Verifies the correctness of SQL statements and converts them into a format that the database can understand. This involves syntax analysis and semantic checking to ensure that the user is authorized to operate. Relational engine: Also known as the query optimizer, it plans the most effic...
Till now we have learned ‘What is MongoDB?,’ what its different versions are, how to write a MongoDB query, and also the live execution of a query in MongoDB. Moving ahead in the blog, we will learn why we should use MongoDB. Why MongoDB? Below are a few reasons as to why ...
databases have tables that contain fields, constraints, and triggers, and tables are related through foreign keys. SQL is used to declare the data to be returned, and a SQL query processor and query optimizer turn the SQL declaration into a query plan that is executed by the database engine...
So, the bottom line is, we have better performance with table scan than using the index. Hence, the query optimizer chose table scan over using the index. How are data rows stored in the heap Data is initially stored in the order in which is the rows are inserted into the heap table....
While this can be valuable, it's important to be aware of one tricky side effect: the Postgres optimizer might inadvertently expose hidden data! This isn't a bug; it's how the system is designed. When a user runs a query against a view and includes a low-cost function in...
