Abstract

A database processing method and an apparatus are provided, and may be applied to a database system. A tree structure is used to represent a join order and used as an input of a neural network, and different first attribute matrices are allocated to different brother nodes in the input tree structure. This helps the neural network comprehensively learn information about the join order, obtain representation information capable of differentiating the join order from another join order, and predict costs of the join order accurately based on the obtained representation information of the join order. Then, an optimizer selects a join order with lowest costs for a query statement based on the costs predicted by a cost prediction module.
