I am sorry for not elaborating on that. What I meant by de-correlation was
optimizing a query to get rid of sub-queirs by using joins.
eg. In the TPC-H schema, a query to find out the names of suppliers who
supply parts having size < 100
*Query with nested subqueries:*
SELECT
S_NAME
FROM
SUPPLIER
WHERE
S_SUPPKEY
IN (
SELECT
PS_SUPPKEY
FROM
PARTSUPP
WHERE
PS_PARTKEY
IN (
SELECT
P_PARTKEY
FROM
PART
WHERE
P_SIZE < 100
)
*Query with joins without subqueries:*
SELECT
S_NAME
FROM
SUPPLIER
INNER JOIN
PARTSUPP
ON
S_SUPPKEY = PS_SUPPKEY
INNER JOIN
PART
ON
P_PARTKEY = PS_PARTKEY
WHERE
P_SIZE < 100
Thanks,
Mahendra
