Abstract

This paper introduces a new efficient join algorithm to increase the speed of the join relational operation. Using a divide and conquer strategy, stack oriented filter technique in the new join algorithm filters unwanted tuples as early as possible while none of the currently existing join algorithms takes advantage of any filtering concept. Other join algorithms may carry the unnecessary tuples up to the last moment of join attribute comparisons.Four join algorithms are described and discussed in this paper: the nested-loop join algorithm, the sort-merge join algorithm, the hash join algorithm, and the new join algorithm.
