Abstract

A compilation time estimator provides a quantified estimate of the optimizer compilation time for a given query optimizer. The estimator automates the optimizer to choose the right level of optimization in commercial database systems. The estimator reuses an optimizer's join enumerator to obtain actual number of joins, but bypasses plan generation to save estimation overhead, and maintains a small number of interesting physical properties to estimate the number of plans by using a linear regression model. The estimator uses the number of generated plans to estimate query compilation time.
