Abstract

Implementations of this specification provide query optimization methods, apparatuses, and systems for secure multi-party databases. In an implementation, a method includes: receiving a current query associated with a plurality of target database of a multi-party database system, generating a plurality of execution plans for the current query, determining, for each execution plan, a respective cost computation formula of a plurality of cost computation values for computing an execution cost of jointly executing the execution plan by the plurality of target databases, receiving a secure computation result from each of a plurality of query engines corresponding to the plurality of target databases, and determining an optimal execution plan having a lowest cost value in the plurality of cost computation formulas based on the secure computation result.
