  • analyzing a plurality of correlation conditions that are defined in the N-way join, wherein the plurality of correlation conditions indicate a group of attributes from the multiple sets of records;

    based on the analysis of the plurality of correlation conditions, determining a maximal partitioning key for the N-way join, wherein the maximal partitioning key includes one or more attributes from the group of attributes indicated in the plurality of correlation conditions;

    automatically splitting the multiple sets of records into two or more sub-sequences of records based on unique values in the one or more attributes, of the maximal partitioning key, that are included in the records of the multiple sets of records; and

    processing the two or more sub-sequences of records in parallel;
