Abstract
Methods for optimizing query performance in a relational database management system. A query is received at the relational database management system. It is determined whether the query is expected to be a long-running query. In response to determining that the query is expected to be a long-running query, a full table scan is started in order to fetch records needed to satisfy the query from the relational database management system. In parallel with conducting the full table scan, a performance object is built, which is capable of satisfying the query in the relational database management system. In response to completing the construction of the performance object prior to completing the full table scan, the full table scan is stopped and the newly built performance object is used instead to satisfy the query.
