Database miscellaneous

  1. Consider a join (relation algebra) between relations r (R)and s (S) using the nested loop method. There are 3 buffers each of size equal to disk block size, out of which one buffer is reserved for intermediate results. Assuming size (r (R))< size(s (S)), the join will have fewer number of disk block accesses if
    1. relation r (R) is in the outer loop.
    2. relation s (S) is in the outer loop.
    3. join selection factor between r (R) and s (S) is more than 0.5.
    4. join selection factor between r (R) and s (S) is less than 0.5.
