Computer-implemented method for improving query execution in relational databases normalized at level 4 and above

摘要

Computer implemented methods for executing a database query in a database using an electronic computing device are presented, the method including: causing the electronic computing device to provide at least one data structure including at least one object having at least two properties of different data types; identifying a property of the at least one data structure that includes the smallest unique values in terms of type of data stored in that particular property; executing the database query, including any limiting parameters, configured to retrieve only data from the property including the smallest unique values that are retrievable for a record; retrieving a predefined number of results of the executed database query; and for each set of predefined number of retrieved results, executing a new database access thread that is configured to retrieve data that are present in the records identified with the smallest unique values.
