Abstract

A system and/or method are implemented to process queries to a database. In particular, the processing of queries to the database is enhanced by enhancing the determination of join orders of tables implicated in queries. Join orders between relatively large numbers of tables are determined by dividing the set of tables to be ordered into a plurality of subsets of tables, and ordering the individual subsets of tables.
