Indexing and minimizing reading of blocks












0















I am struggling a lot with this problem.



Given two relations:
A = (aid, a, t, p, z) and B(bid, x, aid, y). With the following dimensions, A has 10000 pages 25 entries/page and B has 1000 pages, 40 entries/page.



The database has the following indexes:



unclustestered B+ index on B.y



hash indexes on all table keys.



Consider the DBMS has these 2 join algorithms possible:
join with nested loop



join with index



How to find a plan which minimizes blocks reads, for following query:



select A.t, B.y
from A, B where B.aid = A.aid and
B.y > '0'





My approach is to utilize the fact that there are hash indexes on all table keys and to use
join with index in that case we have the pages read as :
10000 pages + 1000 * 40 * 1,2 = 58000 pages read.



Is it safe to assume this will be most optimal way?
Because join with nested loop seems naturally to be the more demanding way to achieve this. I hope some DB guru will offer some ideas.



Thanks.
