Ranking database query results using an efficient method for N-ary summation is provided. Such operation, referred to herein as “mid-fold N-ary summation” significantly reduces costs of computation for large numbers of queries, as are common in enterprise database applications. Thus, ranking query results using mid-fold N-ary summation offers improved runtime performance and reduced latency relative to using conventional N-ary summation.
