Abstract

In an embodiment, a data platform receives a query that includes a two-sided N dimensional interval join of first and second input relations, where N>1. The two-sided N dimensional interval join has an interval-join predicate that, in each of N dimensions, compares intervals determined from the first and second input relations. The data platform implements the interval join at least in part by identifying an intermediate relation that includes all combinations of a row from the first input relation and a row from the second input relation where, in each of the N dimensions, the intervals determined from the first and second input relations both overlap a common N dimensional domain region of an input domain of the first and second input relations. The data platform obtains and returns results of the query.
