This application claims priority to and the benefit of Korean Patent Application No. 10-2017-0100997 filed in the Korean Intellectual Property Office on Aug. 9, 2017, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
The present disclosure relates to a method for efficiently performing a cumulative arithmetic operation in a database system.
A database system may collect, store, manage, and analyze data. In recent years, techniques for large-scale database management systems have been developed, including large amounts of fixed or unstructured data sets and big data processing that extracts values from these data and analyzes the results.
A basic variable type which may express a number in a C language includes int, float, and double types. As a limit of the basic variable type, the int type may store only integers that may be expressed by only 8 bits, and the float and double types may express the number by using floating points in most cases. Therefore, although it is possible to express a large number or a small number in a significant digit, there is a disadvantage in that the large or small number may not be expressed accurately due to a difference between a binary number and a decimal number. In addition, when complex operations are cumulatively continued, there is a possibility that performance will be lowered due to overhead which occurs.
Therefore, there is a need for a method for efficiently performing operations in a database management system.
The present disclosure has been made in an effort to efficiently perform arithmetic operations in a database system.

Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments according to the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
The database management system 10000 may include at least one database management server 2000 and at least one persistent storage medium 3000.
The database management server 2000 may include a predetermined type of computer system or computer device such as a microprocessor, a mainframe computer, a digital single processor, a portable device, and a device controller.
A client 20000 may mean nodes in a database system having a mechanism for communication through a network. For example, the client 20000 may include a predetermined electronic device having connectivity with a personal computer (PC), a laptop computer, a workstation, a terminal, and/or the network. Further, the client 20000 may include a predetermined server implemented by at least one of agent, application programming interface (API), and plug-in.
The database server 2000 may include a memory (not illustrated). The database management server 2000 may perform a database operation by using the memory. For example, when the database management server 2000 performs a transaction, the database management server 2000 may load data from the persistent storage medium 3000 and store the loaded data in at least a part of the memory (not illustrated). In this case, the transaction may include the arithmetic operation of the numerical values.
The memory (not illustrated) as a primary storage device directly accessed by the processor, such as a random access memory (RAM) including a dynamic random access memory (DRAM), a static random access memory (SRAM), etc., may mean a volatile storage device in which stored information is momentarily erased when power is turned off, but is not limited thereto. The memory may be operated by a processor.
According to the exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the database management server 2000 may cumulatively perform a predetermined arithmetic operation for a plurality of numerical values. For example, the database management server 2000 may cumulatively perform an addition arithmetic operation for three or more values. In this case, when the number of times of the predetermined arithmetic operation is large, in the case where a carrier arithmetic operation is performed whenever the arithmetic operation is performed, an arithmetic operation processing speed decreases and the use of the memory increases.
According to the exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, when the database management server 2000 cumulatively performs a plurality of predetermined arithmetic operations, the database management server 2000 performs the carry arithmetic operation last to increase the arithmetic operation processing speed.
The persistent storage medium 3000 may be implemented by a non-volatile storage medium which may continuously store predetermined data. For example, the persistent storage medium 3000 may be implemented by a storage device based on a flash memory and/or a battery back-up memory in addition to a disk, an optical disk, and a magneto-optical storage device and is not limited thereto.
According to the exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, in step S210, the database management server 2000 may receive a structure body creation request for performing a predetermined arithmetic operation. For example, the database management server 2000 may receive the structure body creation request from the client 20000 and create a structure body in response thereto. The structure body may mean a data processing scheme that binds data and processes the bound data by one unit and according to the exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the structure body may include one or more array elements. In this case, a plurality of structure bodies may be created and is not limited thereto.
Each of one or more array elements included in the structure body may represent a predetermined multiplier of a specific number. For example, a first array element included in a specific structure body may represent 100−1, a second array element may represent 1000, and a third array element may represent 1001. In this case, the numerical value, 1 included in the first array element represents 100−1, the numerical value, 10 included in the second array element represents 10*1000, and the numerical value, 3 included in the third array element represents 3*1001.
As another example, the first array element included in the specific structure body may represent 2-1, the second array element may represent 20, and the third array element may represent 21 and are not limited thereto.
In this case, the number of one or more array elements included in the structure body may be diversified. For example, the structure body may include 128 array elements and is not limited thereto. In this case, a plurality of structure bodies may be created and the numbers of array elements of the plurality of respective structure bodies may be different from each other.
In step S220, the database management server 2000 may receive an arithmetic operation processing request of requesting processing of a predetermined arithmetic operation for a plurality of numerical values. For example, the database management server 2000 may receive a processing request of an additional arithmetic operation for the plurality of numerical values. In this case, the predetermined arithmetic operation may be diversified. For example, the predetermined arithmetic operation may include an addition arithmetic operation, a subtraction arithmetic operation, a multiplication arithmetic operation, and a division arithmetic operation and is not limited thereto.
In step S230, the database management server 2000 applies each of the plurality of numerical values to the created structure body to create structure body number data for each of the plurality of numerical values. For example, the database management server 2000 applies a first numerical value to the structure body to create first structure body number data. Further, the database management server 2000 applies a second numerical value to the structure body to create second structure body number data.
In this case, the database management server 2000 allocates at least some numerical values to one or more respective array elements to create the structure body number data. For example, the database management server 2000 may allocate at least some numerical values to one or more respective array elements based on “a predetermined multiplier of a specific number” represented by the array element. In detail, for example, when the database management server 2000 applies a numerical value “1234” to the structure body, the database management server 2000 allocates “1200” to the array element representing 1001 and allocates “34” to the array element representing 1000 to create the structure body number data. In this case, the structure body number data may possess “12” in the array element representing 1001 and “34” in the array element representing 1000.
In step S240, the database management server 2000 may perform the predetermined arithmetic operation based on the structure body number data for each of the plurality of numerical values.
According to the exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the database management server 2000 performs the predetermined arithmetic operation for the structure body number data for each of the plurality of numerical values to acquire first arithmetic operation result data.
In this case, the database management server 2000 may perform the predetermined arithmetic operation between the array elements representing the same multiplier of the specific number.
For example, it is assumed that the first array element (the first array element represents 100−1) of the first structure body number data includes the numerical value, 2, the second array element (the second array element represents 1000) includes the numerical value, 10, the third array element (the third array element represents 1001) includes the numerical value, 3, and the first array element (the first array element represents 100−1) of the second structure body number data includes the numerical value, 4, the second array element (the second array element represents 1000) includes the numerical value, 7, and the third array element (the third array element represents 1001) includes the numerical value, 9.
In this case, the database management server 2000 may perform the arithmetic operation (e.g., the addition arithmetic operation) for the numerical value included in the first array element of the first structure body number data which is the array in which the predetermined multiplier is identical and the numerical value included in the first array element of the second structure body number data. Further, the database management server 2000 may perform the arithmetic operation (e.g., the addition arithmetic operation) for the numerical value included in the second array element of the first structure body number data and the numerical value included in the second array element of the second structure body number data and perform the arithmetic operation (e.g., the addition arithmetic operation) for the numerical value included in the third array element of the first structure body number data and the numerical value included in the third array element of the second structure body number data. As a result, the database management server 2000 may acquire the first arithmetic operation result data having 6 (the sum of 2 and 4) in the first array element, 17 (the sum of 10 and 7) in the second array element, and 12 (the sum of 3 and 9) in the third array element.
In this case, the database management server 2000 cumulatively performs the predetermined arithmetic operation multiple times to acquire the first arithmetic operation result data. For example, the database management server 2000 may cumulatively perform the predetermined arithmetic operation for three or more structure body number data and is not limited thereto.
In a process of acquiring the first arithmetic operation result data, the database management server 2000 may skip the carry arithmetic operation. The carry arithmetic operation includes at least one of a carry up arithmetic operation and a carry down arithmetic operation. For example, as a result of the arithmetic operation of the structure number data, even when the numerical value included in the first array element (e.g., when the array element represents SN, S represents a natural number and N represents an integer) of the first arithmetic operation result data is more than S, the database management server 2000 may skip the carry up arithmetic operation (e.g., an arithmetic operation of carrying up a part equal to or more than S to an array element representing SN+1). As a result, the array element (e.g., a case where the array element represents a predetermined multiplier value SN of a specific number S) of the first arithmetic operation result data may include a number larger than the specific number S.
In this case, the database management server 2000 may perform the predetermined arithmetic operation multiple times without performing the carry arithmetic operation. For example, even when the numerical value included in the array element representing SN is more than S, the database management server 2000 continuously performs the predetermined arithmetic operation for the numerical value included in the array element without performing the carry arithmetic operation to acquire the first arithmetic operation result data.
According to the exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the database management server 2000 performs the carry arithmetic operation for the first arithmetic operation result data to acquire second arithmetic operation result data. For example, the database management server 2000 performs the carry up arithmetic operation for the respective numerical values included in the array element of the first arithmetic operation result data to acquire the second arithmetic operation result data.
According to the exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the database management server 2000 may convert the second arithmetic operation result data into the numerical value. For example, the database management server 2000 converts the second arithmetic operation result data which exists as a type applied to the structure body into a predetermined number type to acquire the numerical value.
According to the exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the database management server 2000 performs the carry arithmetic operation in a last arithmetic operation to increase utilization of the memory and more rapidly perform the arithmetic operation.
According to the exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the database management server 2000 may include a control unit 2300 and the control unit 2300 may include a structure body creating unit 2310, a structure body number data creating unit 2320, an arithmetic operation performing unit 2340, and a numerical value converting unit 2380. Further, the arithmetic operation performing unit 2340 may include a first arithmetic operation data acquiring unit 2342 and a second arithmetic operation data acquiring unit 2344. The control unit 2300 may be implemented by one processor and implemented by a plurality of processors and is not limited thereto.
According to the exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the database management server 2000 may receive the structure body creation request for performing the predetermined arithmetic operation. For example, the database management server 2000 may receive the structure body creation request from the client 20000 and the structure body creating unit 2310 may create the structure body in response thereto.
According to the exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the database management server 2000 may receive the arithmetic operation processing request of requesting the processing of the predetermined arithmetic operation for the plurality of numerical values. For example, the database management server 2000 may receive the process request of the addition arithmetic operation for the plurality of numerical values. In this case, the predetermined arithmetic operation may be diversified. For example, the predetermined arithmetic operation may include the addition arithmetic operation, the subtraction arithmetic operation, the multiplication arithmetic operation, and the division arithmetic operation and is not limited thereto.
The structure body number data creating unit 2320 of the database management server 2000 applies each of the plurality of numerical values to the created structure body to create the structure body number data for each of the plurality of numerical values. For example, the database management server 2000 applies the first numerical value to the structure body to create the first structure body number data. Further, the database management server 2000 applies the second numerical value to the structure body to create the second structure body number data.
In this case, the structure body number data creating unit 2320 of the database management server 2000 allocates at least some numerical values to one or more respective array elements to create the structure body number data. For example, when the structure body number data creating unit 2320 of the database management server 2000 applies a numerical value “1234” to the structure body, the structure body number data creating unit 2320 allocates “1200” to the array element representing 1001 and allocates “34” to the array element representing 1000 to create the structure body number data. In this case, the structure body number data may possess “12” in the array element representing 1001 and “34” in the array element representing 1000.
The arithmetic operation performing unit 2340 of the database management server 2000 may perform the predetermined arithmetic operation based on the structure body number data for each of the plurality of numerical values.
The first arithmetic operation data acquiring unit 2342 of the database management server 2000 performs the predetermined arithmetic operation for the structure body number data for each of the plurality of numerical values to acquire the first arithmetic operation result data
In this case, the first arithmetic operation data acquiring unit 2342 of the database management server 2000 may perform the predetermined arithmetic operation between the values included in the array element in which the predetermined multiplier is identical.
For example, it is assumed that the first array element (the first array element represents 1001) of the first structure body number data includes the numerical value, 2, the second array element (the second array element represents 1000) includes the numerical value, 10, the third array element (the third array element represents 1001) includes the numerical value, 3, and the first array element (the first array element represents 100−1) of the second structure body number data includes the numerical value, 4, the second array element (the second array element represents 1000) includes the numerical value, 7, and the third array element (the third array element represents 1001) includes the numerical value, 9.
In this case, the first arithmetic operation data acquiring unit 2342 of the database management server 2000 may perform the arithmetic operation (e.g., the addition arithmetic operation) for the numerical value included in the first array element of the first structure body number data which is the array in which the predetermined multiplier is identical and the numerical value included in the first array element of the second structure body number data. Further, the first arithmetic operation data acquiring unit 2342 of the database management server 2000 may perform the arithmetic operation (e.g., the addition arithmetic operation) for the numerical value included in the second array element of the first structure body number data and the numerical value included in the second array element of the second structure body number data and perform the arithmetic operation (e.g., the addition arithmetic operation) for the numerical value included in the third array element of the first structure body number data and the numerical value included in the third array element of the second structure body number data. As a result, the first arithmetic operation data acquiring unit 2342 of the database management server 2000 may acquire the first arithmetic operation result data having 6 (the sum of 2 and 4) in the first array element, 17 (the sum of 10 and 7) in the second array element, and 12 (the sum of 3 and 9) in the third array element.
In this case, the first arithmetic operation data acquiring unit 2342 of the database management server 2000 cumulatively performs the predetermined arithmetic operation multiple times to acquire the first arithmetic operation result data. For example, the first arithmetic operation data acquiring unit 2342 of the database management server 2000 may cumulatively perform the predetermined arithmetic operation for three or more structure body number data and is not limited thereto.
In the process of acquiring the first arithmetic operation result data, the first arithmetic operation data acquiring unit 2342 of the database management server 2000 may skip the carry arithmetic operation. The carry arithmetic operation includes at least one of the carry up arithmetic operation and the carry down arithmetic operation. For example, as a result of the arithmetic operation of the structure body number data, even when the numerical value included in the first array element (e.g., when the array element represents SN, S represents a natural number and N represents an integer) of the first arithmetic operation result data is more than S, the first arithmetic operation data acquiring unit 2342 of the database management server 2000 may skip the carry up arithmetic operation (e.g., an arithmetic operation of carrying up a part equal to or more than 100 to an array element representing 100N+1). As a result, the array element (e.g., the case where the array element represents the predetermined multiplier value SN of the specific number S) of the first arithmetic operation result data may include the number larger than the specific number S.
In this case, the first arithmetic operation data acquiring unit 2342 of the database management server 2000 may perform the predetermined arithmetic operation multiple times without performing the carry arithmetic operation. For example, even when the numerical value included in the array element representing SN is more than S, the first arithmetic operation data acquiring unit 2342 of the database management server 2000 continuously performs the predetermined arithmetic operation for the numerical value included in the array element without performing the carry arithmetic operation to acquire the first arithmetic operation result data.
The second arithmetic operation data acquiring unit 2344 of the database management server 2000 performs the carry arithmetic operation for the first arithmetic operation result data to acquire the second arithmetic operation result data For example, the second arithmetic operation data acquiring unit 2344 of the database management server 2000 performs the carry up arithmetic operation for the respective numerical values included in the array element of the first arithmetic operation result data to acquire the second arithmetic operation result data.
The numerical value converting unit 2380 of the database management server 2000 may convert the second arithmetic operation result data into the numerical value. For example, the numerical value converting unit 2380 of the database management server 2000 converts the second arithmetic operation result data which exists as the type applied to the structure body into a predetermined number type to acquire the numerical value.
The structure body according to the exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure may be created by a syntax illustrated in
According to the exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the database management server 2000 may apply the plurality of respective numerical values to the structure body (e.g., number_agg_t structure body or number_t structure body). In this case, the database management server 2000 may allocate at least some numerical values to one or more respective array elements. Further, the database management server 2000 may perform the predetermined arithmetic operation between the structure body number data created by being applied to the structure body.
For example, referring to
In this case, a size of each of the array elements may be 64 bits and is not limited thereto.
As another example, referring to

The computer 1102 may operate in a networked environment by using a logical connection to one or more remote computers including remote computer(s) 1148 through wired and/or wireless communication. The remote computer(s) 1148 may be a workstation, a computer device computer, a router, a personal computer, a portable computer, a micro-processor based entertainment apparatus, a peer device, or other general network nodes and generally includes multiple components or all of the components described with respect to the computer 1102, but only a memory storage device 1150 is illustrated for brief description. The illustrated logical connection includes a wired/wireless connection to a local area network (LAN) 1152 and/or a larger network, for example, a wide area network (WAN) 1154. The LAN and WAN networking environments are general environments in offices and companies and facilitate an enterprise-wide computer network such as Intranet, and all of them may be connected to a worldwide computer network, for example, the Internet.
When the computer 1102 is used in the LAN networking environment, the computer 1102 is connected to a local network 1152 through a wired and/or wireless communication network interface or an adapter 1156. The adapter 1156 may facilitate the wired or wireless communication in the LAN 1152 and the LAN 1152 also includes a wireless access point installed therein in order to communicate with the wireless adapter 1156. When the computer 1102 is used in the WAN networking environment, the computer 1102 may include a modem 1158 or has other means that configure communication through the WAN 1154 such as connection to a communication computing device on the WAN 1154 or connection through the Internet. The modem 1158 which may be an internal or external and wired or wireless device is connected to the system bus 1108 through the serial port interface 1142. In the networked environment, the program modules described with respect to the computer 1102 or some thereof may be stored in the remote memory/storage device 1150. It will be well known that illustrated network connection is exemplary and other means configuring a communication link among computers may be used.
The computer 1102 performs an operation of communicating with predetermined wireless devices or entities which are disposed and operated by the wireless communication, for example, the printer, a scanner, a desktop and/or a portable computer, a portable data assistant (PDA), a communication satellite, predetermined equipment or place associated with a wireless detectable tag, and a telephone. This at least includes wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi) and a Bluetooth wireless technology. Accordingly, communication may be a predefined structure like the network in the related art or just ad hoc communication between at least two devices.
The wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi) enables connection to the Internet, and the like without a wired cable. The Wi-Fi is a wireless technology such as a device, for example, a cellular phone which enables the computer to transmit and receive data indoors or outdoors, that is, anywhere in a communication range of a base station. The Wi-Fi network uses a wireless technology called IEEE 802.11(a, b, g, and others) in order to provide safe, reliable, and high-speed wireless connection. The Wi-Fi may be used to connect the computers to each other or the Internet and the wired network (using IEEE 802.3 or Ethernet). The Wi-Fi network may operate, for example, at a data rate of 11 Mbps(802.11a) or 54 Mbps (802.11b) in unlicensed 2.4 and 5 GHz wireless bands or operate in a product including both bands (dual bands).
