Abstract
One method includes receiving a database query, receiving information about a database table in data storage populated with data elements, producing a structural representation of the database table that includes a formatted data organization reflective of the database table and is absent the data elements of the database table, and providing the structural representation and the database query to a plan generator capable of producing a query plan representing operations for executing the database query on the database table. Another method includes receiving a query plan from a plan generator, the plan representing operations for executing a database query on a database table, and producing a dataflow graph from the query plan, wherein the dataflow graph includes at least one node that represents at least one operation represented by the query plan, and includes at least one link that represents at least one dataflow associated with the query plan.
