  • Publication number: 20060173922
    Abstract: A method, apparatus and program storage device for managing buffers during online reorganization. An adaptive buffer is provided having a dynamically adjustable boundary, the adaptive buffer processes log records and pointers associated with the log records during online reorganization of a database. Adaptive switching is provided between a first and a second task during the processing of data log records and index log records during the online reorganization of the database.

  • Publication number: 20060173938
    Abstract: A method, apparatus and program storage device for determining an optimal number of tasks during reorganization of a database system with memory and processor constraints. The reorganization system identifies memory constraints, identifies processing capabilities and determines a number of reorganization processes and a combination of reorganization processes that provides a minimum reorganization time based upon the identified memory and processing constraints. The identified memory and processing capabilities identify a domain representing a set of rules applicable to the identified memory and processing capabilities. The set of rules of the identified domain are applied to determine an optimal number and combination of reorganization processes that minimizes a reorganization time.

  • Publication number: 20050086269
    Abstract: A base table and related auxiliary table spaces are reorganized concurrently via a database utility. The database utility determines which auxiliary tables are related to the base table and automatically includes their respective auxiliary table in the same invocation of the utility. The reorganization is performed via allocated shadow data sets. The original data sets are switched with the newly built shadow data sets including the LOB shadows.

  • Patent number: 6311953
    Abstract: In order to install an optical fiber cable 110 in a duct 112 a plurality of vents 130, 132, 134 spaced apart along the duct are operated such that during blowing any vent 130 upstream of the leading end 138 of the cable is closed and when there is at least one vent 132, 134 downstream of the cable leading end at least the downstream vent 132 closest to the cable leading end is open for venting gas from the duct. In this way the pressure decay and pressure gradient profiles are modified during installation to improve installation performance.
