Efficient Query Processing for Multi-Dimensionally Clustered Tables in DB2
Summary: DB2 8.0 adds MDC by orthogonal attributes so similar rows reside in contiguous blocks. Extends block-oriented access, merges block/record indexes, and applies MDC to nested-loop and star-join processing, with star-schema experiments showing gains. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
