ABSTRACT:
A method, computer program and system for joining two tables, t1and t2are described. Each table contains rows and columns and is divided into one or more partitions. A correlation function is calculated between a first correlated value column of table t1and a second correlated value column of table t2. Following a query request, a joining algorithm is used to join t1and t2, using a reduced set of partitions based in part upon the correlation function.
