  • Distributed Foundations: Sharding, partitioning, and replication support for distributed expansion
  • Strong Type System: Deterministic data structures for optimal performance

Optimized Query Processing

  • Vectorized Execution: Apache Arrow-based vectorized operations for enhanced analytical performance
  • Cost-based Optimization: Intelligent query plan selection using table and column statistics
  • Statistics Collection: Automatic background collection of table statistics for optimization
  • Dual Execution Engines: Automatic selection between vectorized and regular execution engines

SQL Query Support

SQL Usage Examples

Database Operations

-- Create and manage databases
CREATE DATABASE ecommerce;
USE ecommerce;
SHOW DATABASES;

Enhanced DDL Operations

-- Create tables with optimized type system
CREATE TABLE users (
    id INT,
    name VARCHAR,
    email VARCHAR,
    age INT,
    created_at VARCHAR
);

CREATE TABLE orders (
    id INT,
    user_id INT,
    amount INT,
    order_date VARCHAR
);

-- Show tables in current database
SHOW TABLES;

High-Performance DML Operations

-- Insert data (triggers automatic statistics updates)
INSERT INTO users VALUES (1, 'John Doe', 'john@example.com', 25, '2024-01-01');
INSERT INTO users VALUES (2, 'Jane Smith', 'jane@example.com', 30, '2024-01-02');
INSERT INTO users VALUES (3, 'Bob Wilson', 'bob@example.com', 35, '2024-01-03');

INSERT INTO orders VALUES (1, 1, 100, '2024-01-05');
INSERT INTO orders VALUES (2, 2, 250, '2024-01-06');
INSERT INTO orders VALUES (3, 1, 150, '2024-01-07');

-- Vectorized SELECT operations
SELECT * FROM users;
SELECT name, email FROM users WHERE age > 25;
SELECT * FROM orders;

-- Cost-optimized JOIN operations
SELECT u.name, o.amount, o.order_date
FROM users u
JOIN orders o ON u.id = o.user_id
WHERE u.age > 25;

-- Vectorized aggregations
SELECT age, COUNT(*) as user_count, AVG(age) as avg_age
FROM users
GROUP BY age
HAVING user_count > 0;

-- Advanced WHERE clauses
SELECT * FROM users WHERE age BETWEEN 25 AND 35;
SELECT * FROM users WHERE name LIKE 'J%';
SELECT * FROM orders WHERE amount IN (100, 250);

Query Optimization Features

-- Visualize optimized query execution plans
EXPLAIN SELECT u.name, SUM(o.amount) as total_spent
FROM users u
JOIN orders o ON u.id = o.user_id
WHERE u.age > 25
GROUP BY u.name
ORDER BY total_spent DESC;

-- Output shows:
-- Query Execution Plan:
--------------------
-- Select
--   OrderBy
--     GroupBy
--       Filter
--         Join
--           TableScan
--           TableScan

Advanced Query Features

-- Complex analytical queries (uses vectorized execution)
SELECT 
    u.name,
    COUNT(o.id) as order_count,
    SUM(o.amount) as total_amount,
    AVG(o.amount) as avg_amount
FROM users u
LEFT JOIN orders o ON u.id = o.user_id
GROUP BY u.name
HAVING order_count > 1
ORDER BY total_amount DESC;

-- Update operations with statistics maintenance
UPDATE users 
SET email = 'john.doe@newdomain.com' 
WHERE name = 'John Doe';

-- Efficient delete operations
DELETE FROM orders WHERE amount < 50;

Result Formatting

-- Formatted table output with row counts
SELECT name, age FROM users WHERE age > 25;

| name            | age            |
|-----------------+----------------|
| Jane Smith      | 30             |
| Bob Wilson      | 35             |
|-----------------+----------------|
2 rows in set

-- Empty result handling
SELECT * FROM users WHERE age > 100;
Empty set

Error Handling

-- Comprehensive error messages
CREATE TABLE users (...);
Error: table users already exists

SELECT nonexistent_column FROM users;
Error: column nonexistent_column does not exist

SELECT FROM users WHERE;
Error: parsing error: syntax error near 'WHERE'
