This topic uses TPC-H queries as examples to describe how to use parallel query. In all the examples, the amount of data used is SF = 100 GB that is defined in the TPC-H benchmark. The tested PolarDB node is a primary node that has an 88-core CPU and 710 GB of memory.
- Support for GROUP BY and ORDER BY
- Support for AGGREGATE functions (SUM/AVG/COUNT)
- Support for JOIN
- Support for the BETWEEN function and IN function
- Support for LIMIT
- Support for the INTERVAL function
- Support for CASE WHEN
- Support for LIKE
Support for GROUP BY and ORDER BY
When parallel query is disabled, it requires 1,563.32 seconds to run the query. After parallel query is enabled, it only requires 49.65 seconds to run the query, which is 31.48 times shorter than the original query time.
