<h1 class="topictitle1">Temporary buffer</h1>
|
||
|
|
<div><p>The temporary buffer is a temporary object that is used to help
|
||
|
|
facilitate operations such as parallelism. It is an unsorted data structure
|
||
|
|
that is used to store intermediate rows of a query. The main difference between
|
||
|
|
a temporary buffer and a temporary list is that the buffer does not need to
|
||
|
|
be fully populated in order to allow its results to be processed.</p>
|
||
|
|
<div class="section"><p>The temporary buffer acts as a serialization point between parallel
|
||
|
|
and non-parallel portions of a query. The operations used to populate the
|
||
|
|
buffer cannot be performed in parallel, whereas the operations that fetch
|
||
|
|
rows from the buffer can be performed in parallel. The temporary buffer is
|
||
|
|
required for the SQL Query Engine because the index scan and index probe operations
|
||
|
|
are not considered to be SMP parallel enabled for this engine. Unlike the
|
||
|
|
Classic Query Engine, which will perform these index operations in parallel,
|
||
|
|
the SQL Query Engine will not subdivide the work necessary within the index
|
||
|
|
operation to take full advantage of parallel processing. The buffer is used
|
||
|
|
to allow a query to be processed under parallelism by serializing access to
|
||
|
|
the index operations, while allowing any remaining work within the query to
|
||
|
|
be processed in parallel.</p>
|
||
|
|

|
||
|
|
<div class="section"><p>A temporary buffer is an internal data structure and can only
|
||
|
|
be created by the database manager.</p>

<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rzajqbuffscan.htm">Buffer scan</a></strong><br />
|
||
|
|
The buffer scan operation is used when a query is processed using DB2<sup>®</sup> UDB
|
||
|
|
Symmetric Multiprocessing, yet a portion of the query is not enabled to be
|
||
|
|
processed under parallelism. The buffer scan acts as a gateway to control
|
||
|
|
access to rows between the parallel enabled portions of the query and the
|
||
|
|
non-parallel portions.</li>
