Understanding the database query optimization

Query optimization is the process of extracting most efficient query from a complex query.  To extract efficient query, query optimizer maintains some strategy or rules. Think that we work on huge data and it takes long time  to run a simple query. And also think when we run a complex query what will occur?
To solve this problem query optimizer finds solution by following some rules. To find the least costly query evaluation plan the optimizer needs to generate alternative plans that produce the same result as the given expression and to choose the least costly one. Generation of query evaluation plans involves two steps:
1. Generating expressions that are logically equivalent to the given expression.
2. Annotating the resultant expressions in alternative ways to generate an alternative query evaluation plan.
The optimize query must be same as the original query. Now consider the relational algebra expression for the query "Find the names of all customers who have an account at any branch located at Brooklyn."

How to construct a B+ tree with example

Image
A B+ tree contains n-1 search key values K1K2…….Kn-1 and have n pointers.   In a B+ tree the data are ordered  sequentially.  The leaf node may hold up to n pointers and must hold at least N/2 pointers. The root node must hold at least two pointers, unless the tree consists of only one node.  Now we construct a B+ tree. Construct a B+ tree for the following set of key values: (2,3,5,7,11,17,19,23,29,31) Assume that the tree is initially empty and values are added in ascending order. Construct a B+ tree where the pointer number is Four. Solution: When a node exceeds n-1 search key value then we split it into two nodes. First node contains (ceiling(n-1)/2) values.  2 nd node contains remaining node. Copy the smallest search key value of the second node to the parent node. Let's start, we know each node has N pointer and has N-1 search key values. In our example pointer number is 4, so the search key value is 4-1=3. So each node has 4 pointers and 3 search key value. The first node i

Android default DatePicker show day/month/year fields but you have to customize this DatePicker as your requirements. Suppose that you want to show only month and year fields in android datepicker .
