  • Patent number: 11847120
    Abstract: A method, computer program product, and computer system for improving performance of a SQL execution sequence of SQL statements. The SQL execution sequence is recorded in an event log. Original results of executing the SQL statements and an original CPU cost of executing the SQL statements in accordance with the original access path are recorded in a logical log. A new access path is generated from analysis of the event log and the logical log. The SQL statements are executed in accordance with the new access path resulting in new results of executing the SQL statements including a new CPU cost of executing the SQL statements in accordance with the new access path. In response to a determination that the new results replicate the original results and that the new CPU cost is less than the original CPU cost, the original access path is replaced with the new access path.

  • Publication number: 20230401204
    Abstract: This disclosure provides a computer-implemented method, a computer system and a computer program product for database compression oriented to combinations of fields of a database record. One or more combinations of fields of a record of a database are determined that satisfy a frequency criterion indicating that access frequencies of the one or more combinations of fields are higher than an access frequency threshold. The record is reorganized based on the one or more combinations of fields to store fields of each combination of the one or more combinations of fields in a respective contiguous storage space. The reorganized record is compressed by applying a compression scheme to the one or more combinations of fields.

  • Patent number: 11797522
    Abstract: Database log writing is based on log pipeline contention. A determination is made as to whether contention in writing data to a log pipeline, which is used in writing data from memory to storage, is at a prespecified level. Based on determining that the contention in writing the data to the log pipeline is at the prespecified level, a split operation is automatically performed to create a new log pipeline.

  • Publication number: 20230306012
    Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for relational database locks based on columns. Database transactions may be targeted to specific columns of one or more records, instead of the entire row for those records, using primary keys. Column locks on specific keys are stored separately than column locks on ranges of keys, which are both checked when requesting a new column lock for either a single key or a range of keys. When a threshold number of columns for a given record, or range of records/keys, have been locked, the column locks for that record, or range of records, can be combined into a single row level lock to reduce resource costs for maintaining multiple concurrent locks.
