Abstract: Processing range operation data management statements in a database is provided. The method comprises receiving statements for range operations that specify referenced pages in the database. The range operations are stored in a search structure in a table directory in the database and applied to any referenced pages in a memory buffer pool. Application of the range operations is postponed for any referenced pages not in the memory buffer pool. The database determines if reading the postponed pages into the buffer pool would exceed a specified input/output threshold. If reading the postponed pages into the buffer pool does not exceed the specified threshold, the database reads the postponed pages from disk to the buffer pool asynchronously in parallel, and the range operations are then applied to the postponed pages. Pages modified by the range operations are then written from the buffer pool back to disk.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method, system and computer program product for handling lock contentions of an index (e.g., SQL index). Leaf pages of an index are monitored for a lock contention during an insert operation of index keys by the transactions. Upon detecting a lock contention of a leaf page, the next index key to be inputted into such a leaf page is routed to a queue of a buffer. The index key that was stored in the queue of the buffer is then mapped to the particular leaf page experiencing the lock contention where the transaction originally attempted to store such an index key, where such mapping is stored in a data structure. Upon such a leaf page no longer experiencing a lock contention, the appropriate index keys are then removed from the buffer and stored in the appropriate leaf page based on the mapping identified in the data structure.
