Faster database joins could revolutionize data-driven industries and transform business operations.
A new method called Stripe-join helps join data faster by efficiently using memory. It can join big sets of data without needing to store all the actual data, especially handy for self-joins. This method is good at handling data unevenness and can combine multiple sets of data in just one scan each. When tested against other methods, Stripe-join outperformed Valduriez's algorithm and hash join methods for large data sets. It works even better than Jive-join in certain situations, without needing any specific data order.
