  • Patent number: 10055440
    Abstract: Partitioning of a source table of a database to a target table is initiated. Thereafter, a replay table is generated that is populated with triggers for database operations performed on the source table for subsequent replay for the target partitions. Data is later moved (e.g., asynchronously moved, etc.) from the source table to the target table. The database operations are replayed on the target table T subsequent to the moving of the data using the replay table. In addition, the source table is dropped when all of the data has been moved to the target table and there are no operations requiring replay. Related apparatus, systems, techniques and articles are also described.

  • Patent number: 10042910
    Abstract: Partitioning of source partitions of a table of a database to target partitions is initiated. Thereafter, a transition partition specification is specified that identifies the source partitions and the target partitions. Data is then moved (e.g., asynchronously moved, etc.) from the source partitions to the target partitions. Concurrently with the moving of the data, operates are handled using the transition partition specification. Subsequently, the source partitions are dropped when all of the data has been moved to the target partitions and there are no open transactions accessing the source partitions. Related apparatus, systems, techniques and articles are also described.

  • Patent number: 9977796
    Abstract: A table creation request pertaining to a table in a database maintained on a multi-node data partitioning landscape that comprises a plurality of processing nodes can specify a number of partitions to be generated. At run time, a currently available number of processing nodes in the multi-node data partitioning landscape can be queried, and this currently available number of processing nodes can be compared with the specified number of partitions to be generated for the created table. The table can be generated with the specified number of partitions such that the generated partitions are located across the plurality of partitions according to a load balancing approach if the number of processing nodes equals the number of partitions to be generated or according to other information in the table request if the number of processing nodes does not equal the specified number of partitions.

  • Patent number: 9830346
    Abstract: Tables in a distributed database can require redistribution, for example to provide improved collocation of tables or table partitions that require joining at a node of multiple nodes across which the distributed database is distributed. Based at least in part on a set of table redistribution parameters, a table redistribution plan can be generated to include redistribution of a table from a first node to a second node. The set of table redistribution parameters can include a grouping parameter indicating at least one other table with which the table should be collocated. The table redistribution plan can be executed to cause the moving of the table from the first node to the second node.

  • Patent number: 9779155
    Abstract: A recipient node of a multi-node data partitioning landscape can receive, directly from a requesting machine without being handled by a master node, a first data request related to a table. A target node of a plurality of processing nodes can be identified to handle the data request. The determining can include the recipient node applying partitioning information to determine a target data partition of the plurality of data partitions to which the data request should be directed and mapping information associating each data partition of the plurality of data partitions with an assigned node of the plurality of processing nodes. The recipient node can redirect the data request to the target node so that the target node can act on the target data partition in response to the data request.

  • Patent number: 9697273
    Abstract: An estimation algorithm can generate a uniqueness metric representative of data in a database table column that is split across a plurality of data partitions. The column can be classified as categorical if the uniqueness metric is below a threshold and as non-categorical if the uniqueness metric is above the threshold. A first estimation factor can be assigned to the column if the column is classified as categorical or a larger second estimation factor can be assigned if the column is non-categorical. A cost estimate for system resources required to perform a database operation on the database table can be calculated. The cost estimate can include an estimated total number of distinct values in the column across all of the plurality of data partitions determined using the assigned first estimation factor or second estimation factor and a number of rows in the table as inputs to an estimation function.
