Abstract

A database system determines execution plans for database queries by evaluating a number of partial solutions for each database query. The database system determines a partial solutions limit on the number of partial solutions to be evaluated for determining the execution plan of the query. The database system determines a plurality of partial solutions, each partial solution corresponding to a portion of the execution plan for processing the database query. The database system evaluates a number of candidate partial solutions for determining a partial solution. The number of candidate partial solutions evaluated is determined based on the partial solutions limit. The database system combines the plurality of partial solutions to obtain an execution plan for the database query. The database system executes the database query by executing the execution plan.
