Abstract

The authors summarize the several years research on the join ordering problem presenting a method based on the exIWO metaheuristic which is characterized by both the hybrid strategy of the search space exploration and three variants of selection of individuals as candidates for next population. The nub of the problem was recalled along with details of adaptation of the exIWO including representation of a single solution and transformation of an individual. Results of the experiments show that the exIWO algorithm can successfully compete with the SQL Server 2008 DBMS in optimization of join order in database queries.
