  • Reducing contention by slaves for free lists when modifying data in a table partition
    Patent number: 7188113
    Abstract: Provided herein are techniques that may be used to dramatically increase parallism for distributed DML operations. The work of distributed DML operations are distributed in a way that reduces or eliminates contention for free lists. Scalability is improved because a greater number of slaves may be used to modify data stored in partitions without increasing contention for the free lists.
