  • Publication number: 20230325256
    Abstract: A processor receives an optimization target for a first cluster in a distributed computing environment. A processor trains a neural network based on the optimization target. A processor generates a decision tree based on the neural network. A processor selects a workload executing in the first cluster of the distributed computing environment. A processor identifies a second cluster to relocate the workload. A processor determines a current optimization of the distributed computing environment based on the workload being retained in the first cluster. A processor determines a migration optimization of the distributed computing environment based on the workload being migrated to the second cluster. A processor, in response to the migration optimization improving the current optimization of the distributed computing environment, migrates the workload to the second cluster.

  • Patent number: 11782918
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method selects an access path for high cost and/or complex queries. The method includes building a classification model configured to identify a lowest cost access path. The method further includes receiving a query, where the query is configured to retrieve a set of data from a database. The method also includes generating an access map for the query, where the access map includes one or more potential access paths to execute the query. The method includes collecting, for the query, a set of data for each potential access path. The method further includes classifying, by the classification model, the query. The method also includes selecting a first access path of the one or more potential access paths and executing the query.

  • Publication number: 20230315725
    Abstract: An embodiment includes generating a partition schema for a distributed database based on historical usage data indicative of usage of the distributed database, where the generating of the partition schema comprises determining a partition range of a partition of the partition schema. The embodiment also includes generating a node identifier for the partition using a hash function and a first weight value assigned to the partition. The embodiment also includes monitoring performance data indicative of a performance of the distributed database, the monitoring comprising detecting a failure of the performance to satisfy a performance threshold. The embodiment also includes initiating, responsive to detecting the failure, a redistribution procedure by changing the node identifier of the partition by replacing the first weight value with a second weight value.

  • Patent number: 11775517
    Abstract: Query content-based data generation includes obtaining a query having an outer query and one or more subqueries, converting predicates of a subquery to be predicates of the outer query, and thereby obtain a transformed query, generate from the transformed query a query block having a list of predicate(s) selected from the transformed query, obtaining column information based on the list of predicate(s) and using the column information to select data for a dataset such that data records from the dataset are produced as results to executing the obtained query against the dataset.

  • Publication number: 20230306012
    Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for relational database locks based on columns. Database transactions may be targeted to specific columns of one or more records, instead of the entire row for those records, using primary keys. Column locks on specific keys are stored separately than column locks on ranges of keys, which are both checked when requesting a new column lock for either a single key or a range of keys. When a threshold number of columns for a given record, or range of records/keys, have been locked, the column locks for that record, or range of records, can be combined into a single row level lock to reduce resource costs for maintaining multiple concurrent locks.

  • Publication number: 20230289342
    Abstract: In a computer-implemented method for improving performance of a database, a processor receives batch jobs for a relational database. The batch jobs may include a first member with a first buffer pool, and a second member with a second buffer pool. The processor may also identify a first actual object and an isolation level for the batch jobs, generate related queries based on the first actual object and the isolation level, calculate a cost for the first member and the second member to run the batch jobs based on the related queries, and assign the batch jobs to the first member based on a lower calculated cost.
