Accelerating Database Queries Comprising Positional Text Conditions Plus Bitmap-Based Conditions

摘要

A system, method, and computer program product are provided for improving performance of positional text conditions in concert with bitmap-based conditions. This is accomplished, for example, by focusing positional text condition evaluation to candidate rows based on a bitmap resulting from application of a prior condition. Additionally, the result of a positional text condition may itself be provided in the form of a bitmap to accelerate further bitmap-based condition processing.
