    摘要: A method, apparatus, and system for policy driven data placement and information lifecycle management in a database management system are provided. A user or database application can specify declarative policies that define the movement and transformation of stored database objects. The policies are associated with a database object and may also be inherited. A policy defines, for a database object, an archiving action to be taken, a scope, and a condition before the archiving action is triggered. Archiving actions may include compression, data movement, table clustering, and other actions to place the database object into an appropriate storage tier for a lifecycle phase of the database object. Conditions based on access statistics can be specified at the row level and may use segment or block level heatmaps. Policy evaluation occurs periodically in the background, with actions queued as tasks for a task scheduler.

    摘要: A database server stores compressed units in data blocks of a database. A table (or data from a plurality of rows thereof) is first compressed into a “compression unit” using any of a wide variety of compression techniques. The compression unit is then stored in one or more data block rows across one or more data blocks. As a result, a single data block row may comprise compressed data for a plurality of table rows, as encoded within the compression unit. Storage of compression units in data blocks maintains compatibility with existing data block-based databases, thus allowing the use of compression units in preexisting databases without modification to the underlying format of the database. The compression units may, for example, co-exist with uncompressed tables. Various techniques allow a database server to optimize access to data in the compression unit, so that the compression is virtually transparent to the user.

    摘要: A method, apparatus, and system for tracking row and object database activity into block level heatmaps is provided. Database activity including reads, writes, and creates can be tracked by a database management system at the finest possible level of granularity, or the row and object level. To efficiently record the tracked database activity, a two-part structure is described for writing the activity into heatmaps. A hierarchical in-memory component may use a dynamically allocated sparse pool of bitmap blocks. Periodically, the in-memory component is persisted to a stored representation component, sharable with multiple database instances, which may include consolidated last access times and/or a history of heatmap snapshots to reflect access over time. The heatmaps may then be externalized to database users and applications to provide and support a variety of features.

    摘要: Techniques are described herein for executing queries on distinct portions of a database object that has been separate into chunks and distributed across the volatile memories of a plurality of nodes in a clustered database system. The techniques involve receiving a query that requires work to be performed on data that resides in a plurality of on disk extents. A parallel query coordinator that is aware of the in-memory distribution divides the work into granules that align with the in-memory separation. The parallel query coordinator then sends each granule to the database server instance with local in memory access to the data required by the granule and aggregates the results to respond to the query.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for efficiently processing data in various formats in a single instruction multiple data (“SIMD”) architecture is presented. Specifically, a method to unpack a fixed-width bit values in a bit stream to a fixed width byte stream in a SIMD architecture is presented. A method to unpack variable-length byte packed values in a byte stream in a SIMD architecture is presented. A method to decompress a run length encoded compressed bit-vector in a SIMD architecture is presented. A method to return the offset of each bit set to one in a bit-vector in a SIMD architecture is presented. A method to fetch bits from a bit-vector at specified offsets relative to a base in a SIMD architecture is presented. A method to compare values stored in two SIMD registers is presented.
