Efficient Cost-Based Rewrite in a Bottom-Up Optimizer (opens in new tab)

The query optimizer in a Database Management Systems (DBMS), translates declarative queries into efficient execution plans. Conventional bottom-up optimization consists of two main stages: Query Rewrite (QRW) and Cost-Based Optimization (CBO). However, applying a rewrite rule during QRW may not always be beneficial; the best choice may depend on the (estimated) execution cost of the original and rewritten expressions. Fully exploiting such cost-...
