8. A computer program product for executing a database query, comprising a computer readable storage medium having computer readable program code embodied therewith, the computer readable program code, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to: generate one or more predicates based on implicit filtering present within the database query, wherein each of the one or more predicates specifies a condition with respect to a respective predicate value; select an access path for the database query based on the one or more predicates and integrating the one or more predicates within the selected access plan; execute a set number of operations of the database query in accordance with the selected access plan; repeatedly update the respective predicate value of at least one predicate of the one or more predicates based on data accessed, wherein the updating increases filtering of data, and execute the database query until the filtering of the data cannot be improved by an updated predicate value.
