Summary Table - Optimizer not using if ORDER BY in query

I have a new summary table built againt a single data table. Simple
select, count(*) and group by type. After I built it, I found that the
optimizer will choose to use it for existing queries IF there is no
order by in query. Has anyone read that this is a limitation?

create summary table s_t as (select f1, f2, count(*) from t1 group by
f1, f2)

select distinct f1, f2 from t1
- explain shows optimizer uses s_t
select distinct f1, f2 from t1 order by f1, f2
- does not use s_t

Comments?

Using "SELECT * " is a bad practice even when using a VIEW instead of a table? I have some stored procedures that are identical with the difference of one statement in the WHERE clause. If I create a single View and specify also in this View the WHERE clause that is common in these stored procedures, I will have the new stored procecures changed to be like:

Hi, I've read the former postings but was not able to solve my problem: I have a Summary Table (or MQT as you like it) and the query optimizer does not seem to use the summary table. I run the following commands: set current query optimization 9;

Using a base table, a MQT table was created. With optimization - when querying the base table with calcuation that are already completed in the MQT - I would assume the optimizer would use the MQT table instead of the base table. What causes the optimizer to use the MQT tables rather than the tables as defined by the query? Is there a way to "encourage" use of the MQT tables? Thanks.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
