A node type of a plurality of distributed nodes to which a table to be added to a distributed database should be assigned can be identified by applying a set of placement rules defined for the table. The set of placement rules can also be applied to determine whether the table should be partitioned into more than one partition. A table group name associated with the table can be obtained and used in conjunction with the node type and determination of whether to partition the table to store the table in the distributed database on at least one node of the plurality of nodes as one or more partitions.

Table placement in distributed databases

A system includes generation of a query to retrieve, from a first database table, a result set conforming to query parameters for all entries of a second table stored in a volatile memory of a query client, serialization of the second table into the volatile memory, copying of the serialized second table into a second volatile memory of a data server, de-serialization of the serialized second table into the second volatile memory, determination of a plurality of entries of the first database table which are associated with the second table, and determination of the result set from the plurality of entries based on the query parameters.

Table as query language parameter

A system includes generation of a definition of a table including a partitioning column of the table and a threshold size, allocation of a first memory partition for the table, determination that a size of the records of the table in the first memory partition is greater than the threshold size, and, in response to the determination that the size of the records of the table in the first memory partition is greater than the threshold size, determination that a maximum value of the partitioning column in the records of the table in the first memory partition, determination of a minimum value of the partitioning column in the records of the table in the first memory partition, generation of metadata indicating that records of the table in which the value of the partitioning column is in a range between and including the minimum value and the maximum value are stored in the first memory partition, and allocation of a second memory partition for the table.

Dynamic range partitioning

A system includes determination of a value identifier for each value of a first table, based on a data dictionary of a second table, generation of a hash function, the hash function mapping, for each row of the first table, one or more value identifiers of one or more columns of the row to a pointer to the row, application of the hash function to one or more value identifiers of a row of a second table, determination of whether the output of the hash function is a valid hash, and, if it is determined that the output of the hash function is a valid hash, determination that the row of the second table is associated with the first table.
