A system and method of processing a data query in a data processing system is provided. The data in the data processing system includes a plurality of individual data elements. The data elements are grouped and stored in at least one data unit. The information about the at least one data unit is gathered and stored in at least one information unit. The method comprises receiving the data query to be executed; using the information in the at least one information unit to optimize and execute the query; resolving the data query; and returning results of the data query for use by the data processing system.

Method and system for storing, organizing and processing data in a relational database

A method for applying adaptive data compression in a relational database system using a filter cascade having at least one compression filter stage in the filter cascade. The method comprises applying a data filter associated with the compression filter stage to the data input to produce reconstruction information and filtered data, then compressing the reconstruction information to be included in a filter stream. The filtered data is provided as a compression filter stage output. The method may comprise evaluating whether the compression filter stage provides improved compression compared to the data input. The filter stage output may be used as the input of a subsequent compression filter stage.

Method and system for data compression in a relational database

A relational database having a plurality of records is organized by using a processing arrangement to perform a clustering operation on the records so as to create a number of clusters. At least one of the clusters is characterized by a selected metadata parameter. The clustering operation is performed to optimize a calculated value of a selected precision factor for the selected metadata parameter. The selected metadata parameter is selected to optimize execution of a database query and the value of the selected precision factor is related to efficiency of execution of the database query.
