Abstract: In a high insert throughput in a database system, the database management system (DBMS) caches, asynchronously from data insert transactions, a list of storage location identifiers for storage locations in a table space in the database system. When a request for an insert transaction with an insert size is received from an agent, the DBMS identifies a storage location on the list with an amount of free space meeting the insert size. The DBMS removes the storage location identifier from the list and returns the storage location identifier for the storage location. When the insert transaction completes, the DBMS determines a remaining free space at the storage location and adds the storage location identifier to the list according to the remaining free space. By removing storage location identifiers from the list, another agent cannot receive the same storage location identifier for a parallel task. Thus, space contention is avoided.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for offloading extensible markup language (XML) data to a distributed file system may include receiving a command to populate a distributed file system with an XML table of a database. The XML table may be queried in response to the command. The source data in the XML table may be offloaded, by a computer processor, to the distributed file system in response to the querying. The offloading may include converting the source data to a string version of the source data and converting the string version of the source data back into XML format.
