  1. Cost Estimation for Relational Algebra Queries • Suppose I have a query like P(ename)[s(ID# = 1234)(Emp)] • How to retrieve the data from the disk? • The best choice depends on the type of query and the type of file structure present.

  2. Simple Query Types • Exact matches on a unique attribute. • Exact matches on a non-unique attribute. • Range queries. • Print the entire file unordered. • Print the entire file, sorted on a particular attribute.

  3. Possible File Structures • Access unsorted data file. • Access sorted data file. • Use an index/b-tree/b+-tree (“Secondary Index” or “Alternative 2/3”) • Use a hash table • Use a clustered B-Tree (“Primary Index” or “Alternative 1”) • Use clustered files.

  4. Cost Estimation Introduction • To determine the best choice, we must have a way of determining the cost of each of the previous file structure access schemes with all of the possible query types. • This requires we understand how files are stored and retrieved from secondary storage.

  5. File Systems Review: • A table will be stored as a file; the following metrics should be review: • r --the number of records in the file. • |r| -- the size of a record, usually bytes/record. • Block Size -- the number of bytes/block on the disk. A block is the number of bytes that can be read with one disk access. • bf -- the blocking factor of the file. It is the ëBlock Size/|r|û Note: ë û represents the floor function.

  6. File Systems Review II: • b -- the number of blocks needed for the file. It is ér/ bfù. Note: éù represents the ceiling function. • For a b-tree, the number of levels in the tree is L. This is important because each level must be accessed once for a simple search (worst case). • Also in a b-tree the maximum number of levels is given by: • L <= log ém/2ù((N+1)/2) + 1 where m is the degree of the tree, and N is the number of key values.

  7. Finding m: • |node| <=block size • (m-1)*|key| + (m)*|ChildPtr| + (m-1)*|RecPtr| <= block size

  8. File Systems Review III: • bL is the number of nodes of a B-tree at the terminal level. This is important for determining the number of disk accesses for non-unique retrievals. • “d” is the number of distinct values of a particular attribute. • “s” is the selectivity of a particular attribute. It is r/d.

  9. Cost Estimation -- Unsorted File • CUu = b (worst case) b/2 (average case). • CUn = b • CUr = b • CUpu = b • CUps = b log (b) + b

  10. Cost Estimation -- Sorted File • CSu = log(b) • CSn = log(b) + és/bf ù - 1 • CSr = log(b) + b/2 • CSpu = b • CSps = b

  11. Cost Estimation -- B-, B+-tree (Secondary) • CBu = L+1 • CBn = L+ (és/(m-1) ù - 1) + s • CBr = L+ bL/2 + r/2 • CBpu = L + bL + r • CBps = L + bL + r

  12. Cost Estimation -- B-, B+-tree (Primary) • CBPu = L • CBPn = L+ (és/(m-1) ù - 1) • CBPr = L+ bL/2 • CBPpu = L + bL • CBPps = L + bL

  13. Cost Estimation -- Hash Table • CHu = 1+1 = 2 • CHn = 1+s • CHr = NA • CHpu = #bins + r • CHps = NA

  14. Cost Estimation -- Clustered Files • CCu = log(bR+bS) • CCn = log(bR+bS) + és/bf ù - 1 • CCr = log(bR+bS) + (bR+bS)/2 • CCpu = bR+bS • CCps = bR+bS • Clustered files are used to speed up joins, so these would be worse than a sorted file by design.

  15. Example -- File Information • Emp(Fn, Minit, LN, SSN, Bdate, Addr, Sex, Salary, SuperSSN, Dno) • r = 10,000 records • bf = 5 records/block • b = 2,000 blocks • Hash Table on SSN • B+-Tree on Dno: • Ldno = 4, ddno = 125, sdno= 80, mdno = 50 • BLdno = 200

  16. Example -- File Information II • B+-Tree on Salary: • Ldno = 4, ddno = 10,000, sdno= 1, mdno = 45 • BLdno = 250

  17. Example -- The Queries • sssn = 1234(Emp) • sDno = 5(Emp) • sDno > 5(Emp) • sDno = 5 Ù Salary =30000 Ù Sex = ‘F’ (Emp)

  18. Example -- Query #1 sssn = 1234(Emp) • How can we perform this query? • Access the EMP table unsorted: • CUu = b = 2,000 disk accesses • Use the Hash table on SSN: • CHu = 2 • Best choice: • Use the hash table.

  19. Example -- Query #2 • sDno = 5(Emp) • How can we perform this query? • Access the EMP table unsorted: • CUn = b = 2,000 disk accesses • Use B+-Tree on Dno: • CBn = L+ (és/m ù - 1) + s = 4 + 1 + 80 = 85 • Best Choice: • Use the B+-Tree.

  20. Example -- Query #3 sDno > 5(Emp) • How can we perform this query? • Access the EMP table unsorted: • CUr = b = 2,000 disk accesses • Use B+-Tree on Dno: • CBr = L+ bL/2 + r/2 = 4 + 100 + 5000 = 5104 • Best Choice: • Use the unsorted file.

  21. Example -- Query #4 • sDno = 5 Ù Salary = 30000 Ù Sex = ‘F’ (Emp) • How can we perform this query? • Access the EMP table unsorted: • CUn = b = 2,000 disk accesses • Use B+-Tree on Dno = 85 disk accesses • Then apply remaining conjuncts to result in memory.

  22. Example -- Query #4 (cont) • Use B+-Tree on Salary: • CBn = L+ (és/m ù - 1) + s = 4 + 0 + 1 = 5 • Use unsorted file access for Sex = ‘F’: • CUn = b = 2,000 • Which is best? • Use B+-Tree on salary, then apply the others to result in memory.

  23. Join Cost Functions • Suppose I have R ê S. How do I estimate the cost of this? a=b • CJ1: Nested Loop Approach: • Access the blocks of R and for each record, access the blocks of S looking for matches. • CJ1 = bR + bR * bS + Write-to-disk-cost

  24. Join Cost Functions II • CJ2: Use B-Tree (for example) on S.b: • Access each block of R, then search the B-Tree looking for matches. • CJ2 = bR + rR * (LS.b + SS.b)+ WTDC • Note: Using a B-Tree on R.a and accessing the blocks of S first could yield a different cost.

  25. Join Cost Functions III • CJ3: If the two files are clustered: • CJ3 = bR + bS + WTDC

  26. Write to Disk Cost • WTDC is the cost to write an intermediate result to disk. This would be the number of blocks in the resulting table. • WTDC = |RêS| / BFRêS • I need |RêS|, but this is hard to calculate directly. • The “Join Selectivity” is easier to estimate: • JS = |RêS| / |R ´ S|

  27. Join Selectivity • JS = |RêS| / |R ´ S| • JS = |RêS| / |R| ´ |S| • |RêS| = JS ´ |R| ´ |S| • WTDC = |RêS| / BFRêS • WTDC = JS ´ |R| ´ |S| / BFRêS

  28. Join Selectivity II • Note: if R.a is the key of R, then |RêS| <= |S| • WTDC <= |S| / BFRêS

  29. Example Join-- File Information • Emp(Fn, Minit, LN, SSN, Bdate, Addr, Sex, Salary, SuperSSN, Dno) • r = 10,000 records • bf = 5 records/block • b = 2,000 blocks • B+-Tree on Dno: • Ldno = 4, ddno = 125, sdno= 80, mdno = 50 • BLdno = 200

  30. Example Join-- File Information • Dept(D#, Dname, MGRSSN, MgrStartDate) • r = 125 records • bf = 10 records/block • b = 13 blocks • B+-Tree on D#: • Ldno = 2, ddno = 125, sdno= 1, mdno = 50 • BLdno = 3

  31. The Sample Query: • I want to use Emp ê Dept. What are my options? Dno=D# • Nested Loop approach. • Use B-Tree on Emp.Dno. • Use B-Tree on Dept.D# • Cluster Employee and Department together.

  32. Join Query -- Nested Loop Emp ê Dept. Dno=D# • CJ1 = bEmp * bDept = 2000 * 13 = 26,000

  33. Join Query -- B-Tree on D# Emp ê Dept. Dno=D# • CJ2D# = bEmp + rEmp * (LDept.D# + SDept.D#) = 2000 + 10000 * (2 + 1) = 32,000

  34. Join Query -- B-Tree on Dno Emp ê Dept. Dno=D# • CJ2D# = bDept + rDept * (LEmp.Dno + SEmp.Dno) = 13 + 125 * (4 + 80) = 10,513 • This is the better choice. • Note: I have ignored the WTDC here because it would be the same in all cases.

  35. Join Query -- Clustered Files Emp ê Dept. Dno=D# • CJ3 = bR + bs = 2000 + 13 = 2,013 • This is the best choice. • Note: it does restrict how the files are stored.
