Stop-and-restart query execution that partially leverages the work already performed during the initial execution of the query to reduce the execution time during a restart. The technique selectively saves information from a previous execution of the query so that the overhead associated with restarting the query execution can be bounded. Despite saving only limited information, the disclosed technique substantially reduces the running time of the restarted query. The stop-and-restart query execution technique is constrained to save and reuse only a bounded number of records (intermediate records or output records) thereby releasing all other resources, rather than some of the resources. The technique chooses a subset of the records to save that were found during normal execution and then skipping the corresponding records when performing a scan during restart to prevent the duplication of execution. A skip-scan operator is employed to facilitate the disclosed restart technique.
