Parallelism in DB Operations (cont)

Parallel nested loop join
  • each outer tuple needs to examine each inner tuple
  • but only if it could potentially join
  • range/hash partitioning reduce partitions to consider

Parallel sort-merge join
  • as noted above, parallel sort gives range partitioning
  • merging partitioned tables has no parallelism (but is fast)
