Abstract
A database system configured to optimize query execution through an opportunistic scheduling approach. The database system generates a query plan and identifies a contingent database operation within the query plan, the contingent database operation being dependent on a completion of at least one additional operation. The database system schedules the contingent operation using an opportunistic scheduler. The database system executes the query plan comprising processing the contingent database operation after the completion of the at least one additional operation.
