Abstract
Query optimization is the process of finding an efficient query execution plan for a given SQL query. The runtime difference between a good and a bad plan can be tremendous. For example, in the case of TPC-H query 5, a query with 5 joins, the difference between the best and the worst plan is more than 10,000×. Therefore, it is vital to avoid bad plans. The dominating factor which differentiates a good from a bad plan is their join order and whether this join order avoids large intermediate results.
