Abstract: RI/ORASE history and current transaction data are stored in partitioned fact tables and aggregation tables based on business calendar. Most of associated indexes are locally partitioned indexes. In a typical RI customer environment, partitioned transaction data takes 85% or more of overall RI database space. The benefits of partitioning include easy management of data, enhanced performance, and assistance with backup and recovery. A partition management system provides the ability to create initial partitions and manage existing partitions in ways that allow the size of the partitioned database to exceed a backup limit size.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods for treating cancer comprising utilizing a combination of signal transduction inhibitors. More specifically, the present invention relates to combinations of so called cell cycle inhibitors with mitogen stimulated kinase signal transduction inhibitors, more specifically combinations of CDK inhibitors with mitogen stimulated kinase signal transduction inhibitors, more preferably MEK inhibitors. Other embodiments of the invention relate to additional combinations of the aforesaid combinations with standard anti-cancer agents such as cytotoxic agents, palliatives and antiangiogenics.
