SQL Query Writing Tips To Improve Performance in Db2 and Db2 Warehouse on Cloud
Calisto Zuzarte —IBM
Data managed by databases has been growing exponentially and the trend has been to push much of the application processing close to the data. Applications often can no longer pull the data to do some processing as part of the application logic. Much of this logic is now expressed as one big SQL statement and executed in the database engine. Complex and sophisticated SQL queries, particularly analytical queries, can be a challenge to database optimizers. There are many ways to write SQL variations that get the same result. The optimizer has the goal of relieving the user from having to write the perfect version of the SQL statement.
