An automatic physical design tool for clustered column-stores
Alexander Rasin, Stan Zdonik · 2013
Good database design is typically a very difficult and costly process. As database systems get more complex and as the amount of data under management grows, the stakes increase accordingly. Past research produced a number of design tools capable of automatically selecting secondary indexes and materialized views for a known workload. However, a significant bulk of research on automated database design has been done in the context of row-store DBMSes. While this work has produced effective design tools, new specialized database architectures demand a rethinking of automated design algorithms.
