  1. Just-in-Time Indexes Understanding Indexes in KB_SQL March 2001 March 2001

  2. Learning Objectives • What options do I have to improve query performance? The answer is…indexes. • Review indexing strategies • Introduce just-in-time indexes • Discuss advantages and caveats

  3. Improve Performance Why does my query run so slow?

  4. Query Results

  5. Show Plan/Stats: Query Run query with Show Plan and Show Stats

  6. Show Plan: Results Note: No index being used

  7. Show Stats: Results Note: Selecting 9 of 25000 rows searched

  8. Show All Plans: Query Run query with SHOW_ALL_PLANS to see if index is available

  9. Show All Plans: Results Note: No indexes available

  10. Index Exists

  11. Define Index to KB_SQL Add BY_NAME index in KB_SQL

  12. New Show Plan Note: BY_NAME index is used, cost is reduced

  13. New Show Stats Note: Selecting 9 of 9 rows searched

  14. New Show All Plans Note: BY_NAME index available

  15. How do we improve performance if we don’t have sufficient indexes? • What are the options? • Create supplemental table(s) • Build index • Create just-in-time index • When will it be populated? • How often should it be updated? • Advantages and caveats?

  16. Create Supplemental Tables • Create new table • Join to “base” table

  17. Build the Index • Benefits • Queries only look at key data which results in faster searches • Caveats • Time • Resources • Additional globals to maintain

  18. What if there is no index?

  19. What if there is no index? (cont)

  20. What if there is no index? (cont)

  21. Just-in-Time Indexes • When will the index be populated? • How often should the index be updated?

  22. Just-in-Time Indexes: Advantages and Caveats • Advantages over traditional indexes • Add only the indexes that the user demands • Reduce wasted effort to build indexes that won’t be used • Caveats • Does not provide up-to-the-minute data accuracy • 2 or more queries to realize benefit

  23. Build the Just-in-Time Index

  24. Define the Index to KB_SQL

  25. New Show All Plans Note: Two indexes available; BY_SUPPLIER is accepted based on constraint

  26. New Show Plan Note: BY_SUPPLIER index is used

  27. New Show Stats Note: Selecting 4 of 4 rows searched

  28. Summary • Discussed options available to help improve query performance The answer is…indexes. • Reviewed indexing strategies • Introduced just-in-time indexes • Discussed advantages and caveats
