Abstract

Query optimizer accuracy is tested by measuring the actual execution times on a database of each of a plurality of alternative query plans for each of a plurality of queries, first ranking the plans by the actual execution times, then ranking the plans by estimated execution times, and correlating the two rankings by computing a rank correlation metric. The rank correlation metric is normalized so that different optimizers can be objectively compared.
