Abstract

Systems and methods for query generation based on merger of subqueries are described. For example, methods may include accessing a first join graph representing tables in a database, wherein the first join graph has vertices corresponding to respective tables in the database and directed edges corresponding to join relationships; receiving a first query specification that references data in two or more of the tables of the database to specify multiple subqueries in a set of subqueries; checking that two or more subqueries from the set of subqueries have the same join graph; checking that the two or more subqueries have the same set of grouping columns; responsive, at least in part, to the two or more subqueries having the same join graph and the same set of grouping columns, merging the two or more subqueries to obtain a consolidated query.
