摘要:
An information retrieval system and method are provided for minimizing the number of blocks searched in a cell before recording a new record in the table and determining which block can be assigned if a table has space available to store a new record in the case an additional block should be associated with a cell. Dimensions for a table are identified, and at least one block in the table is associated with a dimension value for each dimension, where each block comprises contiguous storage pages. The block can be further associated with a cell; this associated cell has a unique combination of dimension values comprising an dimension value for each of the dimensions. A unique associated bit list for each dimension value for each dimension has a unique corresponding list entry for each block associated with that dimension value, and a unique associated bit list for each cell has a unique corresponding list entry for each block associated with that cell.

A multi-level locking hierarchy for a relational database includes a locking level applied to a multi-dimensionally clustering table, a locking level applied to blocks within the table, and a locking level applied to rows within the blocks. The hierarchy leverages the multi-dimensional clustering of the table data for efficiency and to reduce lock overhead. Data is normally locked in order of coarser to finer granularity to limit deadlock. When data of finer granularity is locked, data of coarser granularity containing the finer granularity data is also locked. Block lock durations may be employed to ensure that a block remains locked if any contained row remains locked. Block level lock attributes may facilitate detection of at least one of a concurrent scan and a row deletion within a block. Detection of the emptying of a block during a scan of the block may bar scan completion in that block.

Multidimensional clustered tables are provided for efficient processing and management in a relational database management system. A multidimensional clustered table is one whose data is simultaneously clustered along one or more independent dimensions, or clustering keys, and physically organized into blocks or pages on disk. When such a table is created, one can specify one or more keys as dimensions along which to cluster the table's data. Each of the dimensions can consist of one or more columns. Further provided are efficient query processing and maintenance techniques for use in conjunction with multidimensional clustered tables.

Disclosed is a data processing system implemented method, a data processing system and an article of manufacture for improving execution efficiency of a database workload to be executed against a database. The database includes database tables, and the database workload identifies at least one of the database tables. The data processing system includes an identification module for identifying candidate database tables being identifiable in the database workload, the identified candidate database tables being eligible for organization under a clustering schema, a selection module for selecting the identified candidate tables according to whether execution of the database workload is improved if the selected identified candidate table is organized according to the clustering scheme, and an organization module for organizing the clustering schema of the selected organized identified candidate tables prior to the database workload being execution against the database.

摘要:
A method to process a query for information stored in a relational database using indexes which have different granularity and/or composition is provided. The method involves selecting indexes of various granularity and/or composition based on the query, ordering and combining them (if necessary) in order to subset the data from a relational table to be optimally scanned. The ability to combine indexes is very useful to answer ad hoc queries for which no specific index exists. This requirement may be met by using index ANDing and index ORing techniques.

A method, information processing system, and computer program storage product optimize the placement of database objects on a multiplicity of storage devices. A set of database objects are placed on a first storage device in a multiplicity of storage devices. Each storage device comprises differing characteristics. A query workload is run on the set of database objects that have been placed on the first storage device. Profiling information associated with the query workload that is running is collected. A subset of database objects is selected from the set of the database objects to be stored on a second storage device. The second storage device is a separate physical device from, and performs faster than, the first storage device. The subset of database objects is stored on the second storage device and all remaining database objects in the set of database objects on the first storage device.
摘要:
Techniques are disclosed for encoding a variable length structure such that it facilitates forward and reverse scans of a list of such structures as needed. While the techniques are applicable to a wide variety of applications, they are particularly well-suited for use with structures such as those found in compressed database indexes. For example, a computer-implemented method for processing one or more variable length data structures includes the following steps. Each variable length data structure is obtained. Each variable length structure comprises one or more data block. A variable length encoding process is applied to the one or more blocks of each variable length data structure which comprises setting a continuation data value in each block to a first value or a second value, wherein the setting of the continuation data values enables bi-directional scanning of each variable length structure.
