  • System for data structure loading with concurrent statistical analysis
    Patent number: 5873091
    Abstract: A multiprocessing system forms a data structure, such as by loading reorganizing, or recovering, while concurrently collecting various statistics about the data structure. The data structure may comprise tables and/or indices, for example. A first processing unit forms the data structure by assimilating data from one or more data sources into data rows, storing the rows in a buffer, and copying the rows from the buffer to the data structure. Concurrently with the forming step, the same or a second processing unit retrieves the rows from the buffer and applies a predetermined analysis to the rows to formulate statistics regarding the data structure.
