Materialized View Selection and Maintenance using Multi-Query Optimization Hoshi Mistry Prasan Roy S. Sudarshan Krithi Ramamritham
Materialized Views Complex results materialized in order to speed up queries that depend on these results • Increasingly being supported by commercial database systems (e.g. Oracle8i) • Crucial in data warehousing environments
Materialized View Maintenance As underlying data changes, the materialized views need to be refreshed Efficient view maintenance crucial! • Need to provide up-to-date query responses growing • Amount of data added to data warehouses increasing • Maintenance time window shrinking
Focus Efficient techniques for maintenance of a set of materialized views (MVs) by • Transient materialization of common subexpressions (CSEs) • Selection of additional MVs • Computation of the best maintenance policy and plan for each MV
Transient Materialization of Common Subexpressions CSEs materialized to reduce maintenance cost by sharing computation, disposed after use • Motivated by Blakeley et al. [SIGMOD86], Ross et al. [SIGMOD96] • Huge search space; considered impractical • Earlier work by Sellis [TODS88] • Efficient heuristic algorithms proposed by Roy et al. [SIGMOD00]
Selection of Additional MVs Additional views materialized permanently to reduce the overall maintenance cost • Motivated by Ross et al. [SIGMOD96] • restricted to incremental maintenance only • do not consider transient materialization • MV selection in general addressed in Roussopolous [TODS82], Agrawal et al. [VLDB00]
Best Maintenance Policy and Plan Computation For each MV, • Determine the best maintenance policy (incremental or recomputation) • Find the corresponding best plan • Earlier work by Vista [EDBT98] • Does not take into account transient materialization of CSEs or presence of other MVs • Current systems need manual specification of the maintenance policy
Contribution A framework that consolidates the choice of • CSEs to be transiently materialized • Additional MVs • Best maintenance plan (incremental/recomputation) Integrated with a state of the art query optimizer (Volcano [ICDE93])

Incremental Plans:Propagation Based Differential Generation • Differentials propagated one at a time • For each differential dR • Start at dR and compute node differentials bottom-up along the “best plan” in a topological order • Differential of a node computed as a function of its inputs and their differentials • e.g. d(E1E2) = E1 dE2 U E2dE1 U dE1dE2 where dEi= differential of Ei wrt dR • Refresh the relation R and the affected MVs wrt dR by merging with the differentials computed as above Ross et al. [SIGMOD96]

Incorporating Incremental Plans Merge operator AB Logical representation incremental plan recomputation plan BdA AdB dA B A dB • For each equiv node and each base differential affecting it • Introduce a new equiv node representing its differential • Populate with the differential plans • Maintain statistics for the full expression after successive merges Large space overhead!
Incorporating Incremental Plans Actual space-efficient representation AB BdA AdB dA B A dB Reuse the same structure for successive propagation cycles • separate best plan pointers for each cycle • separate statistics for the full expression after successive merges Also incorporates sort-orders, indices, etc. Roy et al.

Approach • Setting up the search space of maintenance plans • Best maintenance plan computation • Transient/Permanent materialized view selection
Maintenance Plan Computation Given • Set of nodes Mt materialized transiently • can include full results as well as differentials • Set of nodes Mp materialized permanently • includes full results but not differentials compute the best consolidated maintenance plan for Mp
Maintenance Plan Computation Best plan computed using a query optimizer extended as follows: • Plan accessing a materialized view (trans/perm) does not include its computation, only its use • Cost of a maintenance plan totalcost(Mp, Mt) = eMpmaintcost(e | Mp, Mt) + eMttrmatcost(e | Mp, Mt) where maintcost(Mp, Mt): cost of cheapest maintenance plan for e (recomputation/incremental) trmatcost(Mp, Mt): cost of computing and materializing e
Approach • Setting up the search space of maintenance plans • Best maintenance plan computation • Transient/Permanent materialized view selection
Transient/Permanent Materialized View Selection Given set of MVs M already materialized, determine • Set of nodes Mt to materialize transiently • Set of nodes Mp ( M) to materialize permanently such that totalcost(Mp, Mt) is minimized Exhaustive approach too expensive. Need heuristics!
Transient/Permanent Materialized View SelectionA Greedy Heuristic Input: Initial MVs M Output: Mp ( M) , Mt, corresp. best plan Begin Mp = M; Mt = {} S = set of equivalence nodes in the DAG for M While ( S {} ) Pick z S which maximizes Benefit(z | Mp, Mt) If ( Benefit(z | Mp, Mt) 0 ) break If ( z is a full result and maintcost(z | Mp, Mt) < trmatcost(z | Mp, Mt) ) Mp =Mp U {z} else Mt = Mt U {z} S = S – {z} Return (Mp, Mt) End How to compute Benefit(z | Mp, Mt)?
Transient/Permanent Materialized View SelectionBenefit Computation Benefit(z | Mp, Mt) = gain(z | Mp, Mt) - investment(z | Mp, Mt) where gain(z | Mp, Mt) = eMp(maintcost(e | Mp, Mt) - maintcost(e | Mp, Mt U {z})) + eMt(trmatcost(e | Mp, Mt) - trmatcost(e | Mp, Mt U {z})) and investment(z | Mp, Mt) = min(maintcost(z | Mp, Mt), trmatcost(z | Mp, Mt)) if z is a full result trmatcost(z | Mp, Mt) if z is a differential Benefit computation expensive. Need efficient techniques!
Transient/Permanent Materialized View SelectionImproving Efficiency of the Greedy Heuristic • Cost-propagation based incremental techniques to efficiently compute Benefit • Monotonicity assumption • Reduces the number of Benefit computations • Techniques to determine if a node can be shared across a given maintenance plan • Reduces the number of nodes considered for transient materialization Adapted from Roy et al. [SIGMOD00]. See paper for details.
