● Join Views (join types, execution methods, modify execution plan)

(DEN80EDU12D07)

A NESTED join obtains from the first input view and then, for each row, obtains the matching

rows in the second view by making a query with the join conditions. This is why the NESTED

join is a good strategy when the first table has few rows.
We have a first input view with 400 rows. After executing a NESTED join, we inspect the

execution trace and we find that only 2 queries have been executed over the second view.

1. This is not possible. It should make 400 queries over the second view (one query for
each row in the first table).
2. You cannot apply a NESTED join in this case: the first view is too big.
3. It is impossible to know how many queries have been executed.
4. This is possible due to an optimization that is applied when we have a JDBC or
ODBC data source as the second view.

of a view when there is a group by in the query? ?

1. Push down the group by first and then reorder the join operations.
 2. Reorders the join operations first and then pushes down the group by operations.
3. It just reorders the join for the view in which join reordering is required.
4. It pushed down operations to the data source and then applies suitable join.

What is the main advantage of using Aggregation Push-Down in views?

It avoids network traffic.
Using the help of primary key the aggregation is pushed to the data sources
All the above

Which of the following occurs when 'Automatic simplification of queries' is turned on?

The optimizer uses statistics to choose which query plan is executed.

Reorders the joins of a query to increase delegation to the sources.
Removes the redundant branches of a query.
Reorders the joins of a query to increase delegation to the sources and Removes the
redundant branches of a query.

Where is the 'Delegate SQL Sentence as Sub Query' option located in the Virtual DataPort

admin tool?

In a base view: Edit > Read & Write > Wrapper Source Configuration.
In a base view: Options > Search methods > Wrapper Source Configuration.
In a derived view: Edit > Read & Write > Wrapper Source Configuration.
In a derived view: Options > Search methods > Wrapper Source Configuration.

Which of the following statements about the 'stream tuples' option of an Excel data source is

false?

The server optimizes the processing so it does not require the entire document to be
realized in memory before processing it.
The memory consumption is much lower.
When the base view is created the server receives the entire document and then parses
it thus having to store the whole document in memory.
The server optimizes the processing so it does not require the entire document to be
realized in memory before processing it and the memory consumption is much lower.

In which of the following stages of query optimization are branch pruning and Join reordering

performed?
 Query parsing.
Static optimization.
Dynamic optimization.
Execution.

Developers can specify Alternative Wrappers in the

Data source configuration

JDBC base view level
Derived view of any data source.
only for JSON data source.

When using Summaries for Static Optimization, the Optimizations applied is,

Summary Acceleration (Summary Rewrite on older versions of Virtual DataPort),

Aggregation Push-down
Only Summary Acceleration (Summary Rewrite on older versions of Virtual
DataPort)
Only Aggregation Push-down
None

Summary Views are usually used when:

The views are from same data source.

The data source is of JSON type.
Users execute ad-hoc queries joining and aggregating different views in a self-
service way.
None of the above.

The Denodo Execution Engine will decide to use Summaries when:

1. Join condition of the original query matches the Join condition of Summary View.
2. only if the Join condition of the original query matches the Join condition of Summary
View.
3. the Views being accessed by the original query are present in the Summary View.
4.Options 1 and 3.

In the lab we have enabled the Data Movement for a view through the graphical interface but,

which of the following is the correct option that is used to enable the Data Movement in the

Context Clause?
 DATAMOVEMENTPLAN (viewname:target data source)
DATAMOVEMENTPLAN (viewname:ON)
DATAMOVEMENTPLAN (viewname:OFF)
All the above

Data Movement optimization provides a way to execute federated queries more efficiently.

When a query involves two views and one of them is much larger than the other, Virtual

DataPort can transfer the data of the smaller view into the data source of the larger view and

execute the operation in the second data source. When a query involving a data movement is

executed, the Execution Engine does the following:

It creates a table in the target database in order to copy the data. When the query
finishes, it deletes the temporary table.
It creates a table in the target database in order to copy the data. When the query
finishes, it does not delete the table. This table is reused by the queries executed
in the same session.
It creates a table in the target database in order to copy the data. The target source
will delete the table with a clean procedure.
It does not create the table in the target database. This is a responsibility of the DBA
team.

Which of the following statements is false about Data Movement?

Data Movement provides a way to execute queries more efficiently.

Data Movement can improve performance up to several orders of magnitude.
It is not possible to apply a Data Movement to a base view, only to derived views.
Only JDBC data sources can be a Data Movement target.

What does the Cost-based optimizer use to get the best execution plan?

The average size of each column.

The number of distinct values and indexes.
Consider the primary keys of the views.
option 1 & 2 are true.

Cost-based optimization:

Works best for Multidimensional databases.

Tries to simplify queries before executing them.
Uses previous execution times to choose the execution plan with the lowest cost.
 Uses statistics of the views and information about the indexes of the data source to
choose the execution plan with the lowest estimated cost.

Which of the following sentences is not correct when MPP (Massive Parallel Processing)

optimization is enabled in the Denodo's Cache:

1. The Virtual DataPort server and the database should be in the same network
segment to ensure the data is transferred fast between both systems (Denodo
and cache).
2. There is an option 'Test MPP load' in the Cache configuration window to help to
configure this optimization.
3. It is strongly recommended to select the checkbox 'Use bulk data load APIs' on
the Cache data source so data are inserted as fast as possible.
4. The MPP optimization is only available for some Cache data sources (Impala,
Spark, Presto).

Which of the following sentence related to full cache is true?

When using the full cache mode the results of the query is automatically loaded into
the cache database.
In a full cache mode, the query never hit the data source, unless 'cache'='off' is
included in the Context, and offers push-down capabilities.
The full cache is highly recommended to use in a scenario where data change too
often.
The full cache supports the incremental load in derived views

what does "Invalidate partially" option mean when invalidating the cache of the view?

Remove all the cache contents for the view.

Remove the cache contents which are expired
Remove the cache entries that match the condition specified in the view
Invalidates the cache of the subviews of the view

What are the some basic requirement for a view to support incremental queries?

The base view must have a primary key defined.

In the case of derived views, it should support push down functionality.
Virtual DataPort must support pushing down to the source which indicates when each row
was added/updated.
option 1 & 3 are true.
Which of the following CONTEXT clause can help us to improve memory management while

loading the cache?

cache_load_on_error
cache_preload
cache_return_query_results
cache_wait_for_load

what does "Invalidate partially" option mean when invalidating the cache of the view?

Remove all the cache contents for the view.

Remove the cache contents which are expired
Remove the entries that match the condition specified in the view
Invalidates the cache of the subviews of the view

Which of the following sentence related to full cache is true?

1. When using the full cache mode, the results of the query are automatically
loaded into the cache database.
2. Full cache mode is highly recommended in scenarios where data changes often.
3. In a full cache mode, the query never accesses the data source and offers push-
down capabilities.
4. Full cache supports incremental loading in derived views.

What are the some basic requirement for a view to support incremental queries?

The base view must have a primary key defined

In the case of derived views, it should support push down functionality.
Virtual DataPort must support pushing down to the source which indicates when
each row was added/updated.
 option 1&3

Is it possible to configure cache in a base view?

1. No, as a base view imports the data from the source, it is not possible to configure
the cache.
2. Yes, you can configure any type of cache in a base view.
3. Yes, but it is only possible to configure full cache in order to prevent the access to
the source.
4. Yes, but only partial cache can be configured in order to get the non-cached data
from the sources.

One of the main benefits of Partial cache mode is:

1. Data source is never hit.

2. All the data of the view are cached so the execution will be faster.
3. Data are cached automatically, so no need to set up scheduled loads.
4. It allow to load the cache incrementally.

What are the types of caches available in Virtual DataPort?

1. On, Off.
2. Off, Full, Partial.
3. Entire, Partial, Query.
4. Whole, Half, Skim.

which is the recommended option to store statistics of a view?

by utilizing the "Gather Statistics for selected fields"

by enabling the statistics through the VQL shell

by manually entering the values for each field

The advanced options for a base view are:

1. Cache, Search methods and Indexes.

2. Cache, Search methods, Indexes and Execution plan.
3. Cache, Search methods, Indexes and Statistics.
4. Cache, Search methods, Indexes, Statistics and Execution plan.

A field can be made mandatory using which setting?

1. By setting the field to 'OBL' in the 'Search methods' tab of the base view.
 2. By setting the field to 'OBL' in the configuration of the data source.
3. By setting the field to 'OPT' in the 'Search methods' tab of the base view.
4. By setting the field to 'OBL' in a derived view, as fields cannot be mandatory in a
base view.

Which of the following is a false statement about indexes?

1. When creating a JDBC base view, Virtual DataPort stores information about the
indexes of the table in the virtual database.
2. Virtual DataPort propagates the information about indexes to the derived views of
JDBC base views, wherever possible.
3. Virtual DataPort inserts indexes created in base views into the table in the
underlying data source.
4. Indexes cannot be propagated to flatten views.

Denodo Platform stores/replicates the data for following reasons,

1. Reduce repeated queries to data source, and minimize data access time.
2. Create ETL flows, and increase query delegation.
3. Store and reuse the full or intermediate results for better performance, and
accelerate query execution.
4. All the about are valid reasons to stores/replicates data in the Denodo Platform.
Virtual DataPort has a cache system to store local copies of the source data as required.
