Examine the phases of query processing, providing an example for illustration. Additionally, explain the necessity of a cost-based optimizer.
Added by Elizabeth C.
Step 1
The main phases are: 1. **Parsing**: The query is checked for syntax errors and converted into a parse tree. *Example*: For the SQL query `SELECT name FROM employees WHERE age > 30`, the parser checks the syntax and creates a parse tree representing the Show more…

Consider the condition join R1 ⋈ R1.a=R2.b R2, given the following information about the relations to be joined. The cost-metric is the number of IOs. The cost of writing the result would be the same independent of the particular join method used, hence we henceforth can ignore it. Given: R1 has 10,000 tuple, 10 tuples per block R2 has 2,000 tuple, 10 tuples per block The available memory buffers are 52 4. Assume we use an index-join with R2 as the outer relation, and we have an index on R1.a. Assume that the index fits in memory. Moreover, on average we get 5 R1 tuples matching every R2 tuple. a. What is the cost of the join algorithm?
Discuss some types of queries for which renaming of attributes is necessary in order to specify the query unambiguously.
