  • Method for fast deletion of physically clustered data
    Patent number: 8005872
    Abstract: A computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer usable program code for deleting rows in a multidimensionally clustering database. A multidimensional clustering processor receives a request to delete a set of multidimensionally clustering data. The multidimensional clustering processor determines whether all multidimensionally clustering data is located in a block. Responsive to all multidimensionally clustered data qualifying for deletion, the multidimensional clustering processor deletes all data in the block to delete the set of multidimensionally clustered data.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 22, 2008
    Date of Patent: August 23, 2011
    Assignee: International Business Machines Corporation
    Inventors: Bishwaranjan Bhattacharjee, Leslie A. Buback, Timothy Ray Malkemus, Michael J. Winer
