Abstract: Many of today’s applications access not a single but a multitude of databases running on different DBMSs. Federation technology is being used to integrate these databases and to offer a single query-interface to the user where he can run queries accessing tables stored on different remote databases. So, the optimizer of the federated DBMS has to decide what portion of the query should be processed by the federated DBMS itself and what portion should be executed at the remote systems. Thereto, it has to retrieve cost estimates for query fragments from the remote databases. The response of these databases typically contains cost and cardinality estimates but no statistics about the data stored in these databases. However, statistics are optimization-critical information which is the crucial factor for any kind of decision making in the optimizer of the federated DBMS. When this information is not available optimization has to rely on imprecise heuristics mostly based on default select ivities. To fill this gap, we propose Statistics API, a JAVA interface that provides DBMS-independent access to statistics data stored in databases running on different DBMSs. Statistics API also defines data structures used for the statistics data returned by or passed to the interface. We have implemented this interface for the three prevailing commercial DBMSs IBM DB2, Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server. These implementations are available under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL). This paper introduces the interface, i.e. the methods and data structures of the Statistics API, and discusses some details of the three interface implementations. (More)
