The sub query methods consist of in, exists, relational operator and relational operator combined with top operator. The study uses experimental approach to evaluate the performance of each sub query methods combined with indexing strategy. The paper explores several sub query methods used in a query and their impact on the query performance. We are currently testing the prototype with two different scientific data sets: The Indra cosmological simulation will use it to store particle and density data from N-body simulations, and the Milky Way LaboratoryĮvaluation of Sub Query Performance in SQL Server With the help of these libraries, complex operations, such as matrix inversions or Fourier transformations, can be done on-the-fly, from SQL code, inside the database server process. Also, the library is designed to be able to be seamlessly integrated with the most common math libraries, such as BLAS, LAPACK, FFTW, etc. With our Array Library, fix-sized arrays of all basic numeric data types can be created and manipulated efficiently. We present the prototype of a custom-built extension to Microsoft SQL Server that adds array handling functionality to the database system. Fortunately, the technology exists to extend the database server with custom-written code that enables us to address these problems. The most important gap in Microsoft SQL Server is the lack of a native array data type. Out of the box commercial database systems perform very well in scientific applications from the prospective of data storage optimization, data retrieval, and memory management but lack basic functionality like handling scientific data structures or enabling advanced math inside the database server. At least data subsetting and preprocessing have to be done inside the server process. Thus, moving the computations as close to the data as possible and minimizing the client- server overhead are absolutely necessary.

Moving terabytes of data among servers on a timely basis is a tough problem, even with the newest high-throughput networks. Relational database systems have been successfully used to store and process scientific data, but the new requirements constantly generate new challenges. This unprecedented amount of data requires data handling techniques that are beyond what is used for ordinary files.

Today's scientific simulations produce output on the 10-100 TB scale. An Array Library for Microsoft SQL Server with Astrophysical Applicationsĭobos, L.
