Abstract

A proactive resource allocator in a database management system is configured to make database resource allocation decisions for users accessing a database, including proactively resuming resources reclaimed from a user accessing a database. To determine whether to proactively resume resources that are reclaimed from a user who has logged out, the proactive resource allocator accesses historical data to predict a time the user will log back in. If the probability of the user logging back in is high, the proactive resource allocator reallocates resources to the user at the predicted time and may predict a next time the user will log back in. The proactive resource allocator may then logically pause the resources or may physically pause the resources prior to the next predicted time.

Claims20

Dependent claims

A system, comprising:

a processor;
and
a memory device that stores program code structured to cause the processor to:
reclaim resources from a user in response to the user logging out of a database;
determine a plurality of login patterns for the user from historical data of user interactions with the database, each login pattern of the login patterns corresponding to a respective time window of a plurality of time windows having a same start of predicted activity;
calculate a plurality of probabilities corresponding to the determined login patterns for the time windows, each calculated probability indicative of a likelihood that the user will log into the database during the corresponding time window of the time windows;
in response to a set of the calculated probabilities being determined to have a predetermined relationship with a confidence threshold, select from the set the probability having a greatest likelihood;
and
reallocate the resources to the user at a time associated with the time window corresponding to the selected probability.

A computer-readable storage device encoded with program instructions that, when executed by a processor circuit, perform a method comprising:

reclaiming resources from a user in response to the user logging out of a database;
determining a plurality of login patterns for the user from historical data of user interactions with the database, each login pattern of the login patterns corresponding to a respective time window of a plurality of time windows having a same start of predicted activity;
calculating a plurality of probabilities corresponding to the determined login patterns for the time windows, each calculated probability indicative of a likelihood that the user will log into the database during the corresponding time window of the time windows;
in response to a set of the calculated probabilities being determined to have a predetermined relationship with a confidence threshold, selecting from the set the probability having a greatest likelihood;
and
reallocating the resources to the user at a time associated with the time window corresponding to the selected probability.
