20140379692 | SKEW-AWARE STORAGE AND QUERY EXECUTION ON DISTRIBUTED DATABASE SYSTEMS - Distributing rows of data in a distributed table distributed across a plurality of nodes. A method includes identifying skewed rows of a first table to be distributed in a distributed database system. The skewed rows include a common data value in a column such that the skewed rows are skewed, according to a predetermined skew factor, with respect to other rows in the first table not having the common data value. Non-skewed rows of the first table that are not skewed according to the skew factor are identified. The skewed rows of the first table are distributed across nodes in a non-deterministic fashion. The non-skewed rows of the first table are distributed across nodes in a deterministic fashion. The rows of the first table distributed across the nodes, whether distributed in a deterministic fashion or non-deterministic fashion, are stored in a single table at each of the nodes. | 12-25-2014 |

20140114950 | FORMULATING GLOBAL STATISTICS FOR DISTRIBUTED DATABASES - The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for formulating global statistics for parallel databases. In general, embodiments of the invention merge (combine) information in multiple compute node level histograms to create a global histogram for a table that is distributed across a number of compute nodes. Merging can include aligning histogram step boundaries across the compute node histograms. Merging can include aggregating histogram step-level information, such as, for example, equality rows and average range rows (or alternately equality rows, range rows, and distinct range rows), across the compute node histograms into a single global step. Merging can account for distinct values that do not appear at one or more compute nodes as well as distinct values that are counted at multiple compute nodes. A resulting global histogram can be coalesced to reduce the step count. | 04-24-2014 |
