QUERY PERFORMANCE MODEL GENERATION AND USE IN A HYBRID MULTI-CLOUD DATABASE ENVIRONMENT

A unified access layer (UAL) and scalable query engine receive queries from various interfaces and executes the queries with respect to non-heterogeneous data management and analytic computing platforms that are sources of record for data they store. Query performance is monitored and used to generate a query performance model. The query performance model may be used to generate alternatives for queries of users or groups of users or to generate policies for achieving a target performance. Performance may be improved by monitoring queries and retrieving catalog data for databases referenced and generating a recommendation model according to them. Duplicative or overlapping sources may be identified based on the monitoring and transformations to improve accuracy and security may be suggested. A recommendation model may be generated based on analysis of queries received through the UAL. Transformations may be performed according to the recommendation model in order to improve performance.
