Estimating the term…
Excess capacity available to a database system in a capacity controlled environment can be effectively managed for maintenance and/or tuning activities. In this context, excess capacity can be used as needed and/or on a temporary basis. Furthermore, maintenance and/or tuning activities can be performed without requiring the use of the configured or allotted capacity. As a result, these operations can be performed without adversely affecting other operations which may be deemed more critical by the users of databases. System maintenance and tuning (or fine tuning) of a database environment can, for example, include operations associated with “Physical Tuning,” and “Index Tuning”. Some exemplary operations include collecting Statistics, analyzing a database workload, sampling, analyzing an execution plan, creating indexes.
A computer-implemented method for managing excess capacity of a database system configured to operate at a limited capacity below its full capacity in a database environment, wherein the database system includes one or more processors operable to process data associated with a database in the database environment, and wherein the computer-implemented method comprises:
A database system that includes one or more processors operable to:
A non-transient computer readable storage medium storing at least executable computer code for managing excess capacity of a database system configured to operate at a limited capacity below its full capacity in a database environment, wherein the database system includes one or more processors operable to process data associated with a database in the database environment, and wherein the executable computer code includes:
