Abstract

An approach is provided for optimizing a join operation that includes receiving, by one or more processors of a computer system, a join request associated with a fact table and a plurality of related dimension tables; identifying, by the one or more processors of the computer system, a join relationship from the fact table and the plurality of related dimension tables; matching, by the one or more processors of the computer system, different tables of the fact table and the plurality of related dimension tables; filtering, by the one or more processors of the computer system using data parallelism, the fact table and the plurality of related dimension tables, wherein the filtering occurs prior to performing the join request; and performing, by the one or more processors of the computer system, the join operation pursuant to the join request.
