Contents • Referential Integrity - Phase 1 • OLAP - Cube, StdDev, Variance • Update with joins • Word Index • Binary Datatype • Union view performance • IN Predicate improvements • Range Group By in Indexes
Referential Integrity - Phase 1 • Phase 1: Unique multi-column High Group • Primary Key • Candidate Key • Still need to index each component column • Limit 255 bytes • Join optimizer users for arity and cardinality • Phase 2 will be non-unique MCHG • Phase 3 will be enforce RI
OLAP • Group By Cube • Can uses all 3 algorithms for initial grouping • Limit 1e6 rows (Hash based secondary grouping) • Standard Deviation • Variance
Update with Joins • Update T1From T1 Inner Join T2 on ( T1 x T2)Where … • T-SQL language extension • Can copy cells from one table to another • Matches T-SQL Delete statement
Word Index • Treat a varchar, long varchar, char column as a nested relation • Supply delimiter characters • Keyword lists • URL components • CONTAINS predicate • Conjunctive: <base col> Contains (‘key1’, ‘key2’…) • Disjunctive <base col> Contains (‘key1’) or <base col> Contains (‘key2’)
BINARY, VARBINARY datatypes • ASE compatible (Not ASA compatible) • stored as 2 nibbles per byte (use even lengths) • character like not integer like • HexToInt() and IntToHex() • High Group index only • Compatibility switch
Union View Performance • Performance improvements for projection • Aggregate pushdown (patent applied for) • Select c1, Sum(c2) From (Select T1 Union All Select T2) Group By c1 • Select c1, Sum(c2’) From (Select C1, Sum(c2) From T1 Group By c1 Union All…) • Analogous parallel group by now on by default
IN Predicate Improvements • Sort-based IN subqueries • above calculated/set option Max_Hash_Rows • Large IN-lists tested to 250k values • First round performance improvements to parser • Second round in 12.5
Range Group By in Indexes • Performance improvements to single-table GB • Select * From T1Group By c1Where c1 Between lowVal And highVal • Scans btree evaluating predicate • char/varchar (ISO case respect only) • Cutoff to vertical based on groups meet restriction • Previously based on cardinality of GB column • Most predicates can be used • More queries executed in indexes in 12.4.3
Other New Functionality • Events and Schedules • New stored procedures: sp_iqspaceused, sp_iqconnection, sp_iqtransaction • Extended store procedures • Intermediate Versioning • Prefetch • Out of Space
Events and Schedules • You can automate routine tasks in ASIQ12.4.3 by adding an event to a database, and providing a schedule for the event. • Whenever one of the times in the schedule passes, a sequence of actions called an event handler is executed by the database server.
The Create Event Command CREATE EVENT event-name ... [ TYPE event-type [ WHERE trigger-condition [ AND trigger-condition ], ... ] | SCHEDULE schedule-spec, ... ] ... [ ENABLE | DISABLE ] ... [ AT { CONSOLIDATED | REMOTE | ALL } ] ...[ HANDLER BEGIN ... END ] event-type BackupEnd | "Connect" | ConnectFailed | DatabaseStart | DBDiskSpace | "Disconnect" | GlobalAutoincrement | GrowDB | GrowLog | GrowTemp | LogDiskSpace | "RAISERROR" | ServerIdle | TempDiskSpace trigger-condition: event_condition( condition-name ) { = | < | > | != | <= | >= } value schedule-spec: [ schedule-name ] { START TIME start-time | BETWEEN start-time AND end-time } [ EVERY period { HOURS | MINUTES | SECONDS } ] [ ON { ( day-of-week, ... ) | ( day-of-month, ... ) } ] [ START DATE start-date ]
An Example create table mysummary(dt datetime, users int, mainKB unsigned bigint, mainPC unsigned int, tempKB unsigned bigint, tempPC unsigned int) ; create event mysummary schedule sched_mysummary start time '00:01 AM' every 10 minutes handler begin declare mt unsigned bigint; declare mu unsigned bigint; declare tt unsigned bigint; declare tu unsigned bigint; declare conncount unsigned int; set conncount = db_property('ConnCount'); call sp_iqspaceused(mt,mu,tt,tu); insert into mysummary values( now(), conncount, mu, (mu*100)/mt, tu, (tu*100)/tt ); end ;
New Stored Procedures • sp_iqspaceused Returns four out parameters containing the total and used dpspace for the main and temp stores, in Kbytes. • sp_iqconnection Returns a row of information for each active connection. • sp_iqtransaction Returns a row for each transaction control block in the IQ transaction manager. Rows are ordered by TxnID.

Extended Stored Procedures • The extended stored procedures are: • xp_cmdshell Executes a system command. • xp_msver Returns a string containing version information • xp_read_file Returns the contents of a file as a LONG BINARY variable • xp_write_file Writes data to a file from a SQL statement. • xp_sprintf Builds a string from a format string and a set of input strings. • xp_scanf Extracts substrings from an input string and a format string. • MAPI functions • xp_startmail Starts a mail session in a specified mail account by logging on the MAPI message system • xp_sendmail Sends a mail message to specified users • xp_stopmail Closes the mail session
Intermediate Versions • ASIQ12.4.3 Simplex databases drop intermediate versions at the earliest possible time • Mpx databases use the old algorithm: versions are only dropped when the oldest version is no longer in use • sp_iqtransaction provides detailed version information (some interpretation required)
Prefetch • All ASIQ12.4.3 database pages, except blockmaps, are prefetched when accessed sequentially • Data is almost always accessed sequentially • One central Prefetch Manager per iq store • Each application (e.g. sort, garray, a row of fp indexes) has a fixed read-ahead quota • Prefetch statistics returned by the cache_by_type and debug performance monitors
Out of Space Handling • Main and Temp Reserved Space • should be set to 100MB or so • sp_iqconnection and sp_iqtransaction show who is using what, which versions exist, and why • User defined events may be written to monitor and manage space usage
IQ Engine Changes • Start without IQ Temp Store • limited functions; for use by Sybase Central • Multiplex features already loaded • iq.sql: stored procedures, schema • available via ALTER DATABASE UPGRADE • Treat dbremote connections properly for TLV • Windows NT: access more than 26 drives • use \\.\PhysicalDriveN naming scheme
Sybase Central Changes • Integrate support for various actions: • Create Database • Start Database Server • Standardize on use of params.cfg file • from$ASDIR/scripts/default.cfg • Place database files anywhere • Browse button for local files
Sybase Central Changes 2 • New Convert to Multiplex Wizard • replaces upgrade script, manual procedure • Create Query Server Wizard • specify IQ Temp characteristics • synchronizes and starts new server • New Replace Write Server Wizard • Stop Multiplex Wizard • checkbox to start write server in simplex • Off-line nodes support
Documented procedures Truncate transaction log Fail-over after write server failure
RELEASE 12.4.3 - DDL • Compare (CMP) Index • Enforced Multi-Column Primary Key • Multi-Column Unique HG Index • Incremental HG Load Performance • More Aggressive TLV
