Inter-Query Parallelism: Interquery and Intraquery Parallelism in Parallel Database

Inter-query parallelism involves executing multiple queries or transactions in parallel across multiple processors. This improves transaction throughput and allows the transaction processing system to scale up, making it well-suited for online transaction processing systems. Intra-query parallelism involves executing a single, complex query in parallel across multiple processors in order to speed up the query, which is well-suited for complex scientific queries. Examples of databases that support these types of parallelism include Oracle, Rdb, Informix, and Teradata.

Interquery and Intraquery Parallelism in Parallel Database

Inter-query Parallelism
It is a form of parallelism where many different Queries or Transactions are executed in
parallel with one another on many processors.

Advantages
It increases Transaction Throughput. That is, number of transactions executed in a given time
can be increased.
It scales up the Transaction processing system. Hence, best suited for On-Line Transaction
Processing (OLTP) systems.

Supported Parallel Database Architectures


It is easy to implement in Shared Memory Parallel System. Lock tables and Log information
are maintained in the same memory. Hence, it is easy to handle those transactions which
shares locks with other transactions. Locking and logging can be done efficiently.
In other parallel architectures like Shared Disk and Shared Nothing, the locking and logging
must be done through message passing between processors, which is considered as costly
operation when compared Shared Memory Parallel architecture. Cache coherency problem
would occur.

Example Database systems which support Inter-query Parallelism


Oracle 8 and Oracle Rdb

Intra-Query Parallelism
It is the form of parallelism where Single Query is executed in parallel on many processors.

Advantages
To speed up a single complex long running queries.
Best suited for complex scientific calculations (queries).

Supported Parallel Database Architectures


SharedMemory, Shared Disk and Shared Nothing parallel architectures are supported. We
need not worry about locking and logging as because it involves parallelizing single query.

Types
Intra-operation parallelism – the process of speeding up a query through parallelizing the
execution of individual operations. The operations which can be parallelized are Sort, Join,
Projection, Selection and so on.
Inter-operation parallelism – the process of speeding up a query through parallelizing
various operations which are part of the query. For example, a query which involves join of
4 tables can be executed in parallel in two processors in such a way that each processor shall
join two relations locally and the result1 and result2 can be joined further to produce the final
result.

Example Database systems which support Intra-query Parallelism


Informix, Terradata
