Cost based optimizer cbo is based on the cost associated with the query whereas rule based optimizer rbo is based on certain specific rules. Search space as mentioned in section 2, the search space for optimization depends on the set of algebraic transformations that preserve. A rulebased system has a knowledge base represented as a collection of rules that are typically expressed as ifthen clauses. In a costbased optimization strategy, multiple execution plans are generated for a given query, and then an estimated cost is computed for each plan. The optimizer first determines whether joining two or more of the tables definitely results in a row source containing at most one row. Motivation behind cbo is to come up with the cheapest execution plan available for each sql statement. An overview of query optimization in relational systems stanford. It can be done in many ways like you can set cbo at the statement level using hints.
Such query optimization is absolutely necessary in a dbms. Transparency for use heuristics to decrease the number of choices that have to be made in a costbased fashion. The row source generator receives the optimal plan from the optimizer and outputs the execution plan for the sql statement.
