Abstract

This paper deals with the problem of integrated physical database design involving two optimization techniques: horizontal data partitioning (HDP) and bitmap join indexes (BJI). These techniques compete for the same resource representing selection attributes. This competition incurs attribute interchangeability phenomena, where same attribute(s) may be used to select either HDP or BJI schemes. Existing studies dealing with integrated physical database design problem not consider this competition. We propose to study its contribution on simplifying the complexity of our problem. Instead of tackling it in an integrated way, we propose to start by assigning to each technique its own attributes and then it launches its own selection algorithm. This assignment is done using the K-Means method. Our design is compared with the state of the art work using APB1 benchmark. The results show that an interchangeability attribute-aware database designer can improve significantly query performance within the less space budget.
