Abstract

A method, apparatus, and article of manufacture for a computer implemented query optimizer. A query is to be executed containing user defined functions and abstract data type parameters to retrieve data from a database. Optimization information is received from a user. Then, the execution of the query is optimized based on the received optimization information for execution within a massively parallel, shared nothing architecture.
