Abstract
A query is received from a software application, with the query including at least a first subquery. In response to receiving the query, a database management system (DBMS) generates a query execution plan for the received query. Next, the DBMS optimizes the query execution plan based on the first subquery to generate an optimized query execution plan, wherein the optimized query execution plan includes at least a first pipeline, a second pipeline, a shared subplan, and a distinct operator, wherein the distinct operator is configured to eliminate duplicate tuples. Then, the DBMS executes the optimized query execution plan to identify and retrieve first data stored in a database. Next, the DBMS provides the first data to the software application.
