Abstract

A database-management system (DBMS) initiates execution of an incoming database query according to an initial query-execution plan that identifies an expected path for execution. Then, at some point after execution of the query has begun, the DBMS concludes that execution has not proceeded along the expected path and, in response, chooses an alternative query-execution plan for continued execution of the query.
