Abstract

Techniques for scheduling query execution are provided. In one embodiment, a computer system can receive a query to be executed and can assign a priority to the query. The computer system can further divide the query into a plurality of sub-queries and can assign a sub-priority to each sub-query, where the sub-priority is based on a resource consumption metric of the query. The computer system can then select, from a plurality of sub-query pools, a sub-query pool that includes sub-queries of queries that have the same priority as the query, and can add the plurality of sub-queries to the selected sub-query pool.
