Abstract: Capacity of a database system and/or a computing system that includes a database can be effectively changed from a current computing capacity to another computing capacity. This can be achieved by causing usage capacity of at least one of resource to be changed when the database is active. By way of example, capacity of a database system can be regulated by delaying the execution of the database work based on a target capacity. As a result, database work can take relatively longer to complete when the capacity of a database is effectively regulated to be below its full capacity. In effect, a portion of available capacity (excess capacity) can be made inaccessible to the database. However, excess capacity can be used to manage various services of the database in accordance with one or more service criteria (e.g., Service Level Goals or Agreements).

Abstract: Various embodiments herein each include at least one of systems, methods and software for dynamic in-flight database request throttling. One such embodiment includes monitoring a database or multi-database system Workload Definition (WD) to identify queuing of a higher priority request while the database system is processing requests of a lower priority and when queuing of a higher priority request is identified, adjusting a metric throttle for the WD to a new metric throttle level Cn, computed as the average of a metric level Cc that would drive the metric to a target T and a metric level Cr that would drive a rolling average of the metric to the target T. This embodiment further includes evaluating lower priority in-flight requests for the current workload to identify abort candidate requests to abort and aborting the identified abort candidate requests and place the aborted requests in a delay queue for later execution.

Abstract: Excess capacity (or excess resources) can be used in a capacity controlled environment to effectively manage data storage of a database. In this context, excess capacity can, for example, be controlled used as needed, as configured and/or on a temporary basis. Management of data storage in a database can, for example, include operations associated with moving or relocating data of the database. Relocation of data can, for example, be performed to relocate data deemed to be “hot” data to a location that can provide a faster access time in order to improve the overall efficiency of the database system.

Abstract: Excess capacity of a database system can be used for learning activities in a controlled computing environment. In this context, excess capacity of a database system can be used as needed and/or on a temporary basis. Furthermore, learning activities can be performed without requiring the use of the capacity that is configured or has been allotted for various other database operations, including those deemed, especially by the users of database system, to serve a main function or a more important purpose. As a result, learning can be performed without adversely affecting other operations deemed to be more critical, especially by the users of databases. Learning activities associated with a database environment can, for example, include learning operations directed to optimization of database queries, for example, by using a basic feedback or an expanded or active learning.

Abstract: Excess capacity available to a database system in a capacity controlled environment can be effectively managed. In particular, excess capacity that is not made available for normal operations of a database system can be used to manage errors, especially situations that may hinder expected performance of the database system. In addition, excess capacity can be used to optimize or further optimize database queries, especially those that meet a criterion (e.g., not fully optimize, not optimized as expected).
