The use of parallel processing technology in the next generation of
Database Management Systems (DBMSs) makes it possible to meet new
and challenging requirements. Database technology in rapidly
expanding new application areas brings unique challenges such as
increased functionality and efficient handling of very large
heterogeneous databases.
Abdelguerfi and Wong present the latest techniques in parallel
relational databases illustrating high-performance achievements in
parallel database systems. The text is structured according to the
overall architecture of a parallel database system presenting
various techniques that may be adopted to the design of parallel
database software and hardware execution environments. These
techniques can directly or indirectly lead to high-performance
parallel database implementation.
The book's main focus follows the authors' engineering model: A
survey of parallel query optimization techniques for requests
involving multi-way joins; A new technique for a join operation
that can be adopted in the local optimization stage; A framework
for recovery in parallel database systems using the ACTA formalism;
The architectural details of NCR's new Petabyte multimedia database
system; A description of the Super Database Computer (SDC-II); A
case study for a shared-nothing parallel database server that
analyzes and compares the effectiveness of five data placement
techniques.
