Abstract
A method and system of managing a database is disclosed. The database may be structured to include a sequence object. The sequence object can have a set of sequential values. The set of sequential values may be used as a set of key values for a set of jobs. A count of jobs accessing the sequence object may be monitored. Based on the count of jobs accessing the sequence object, a quantity of sequential values of the set of sequential values may be allocated.
Claims11
A computer-implemented method of managing a database, the method comprising:
- structuring the database to include a sequence object having a set of sequential values for use as a set of key values for a set of jobs;
- monitoring a count of jobs accessing the sequence object;
- and
- allocating, based on the count of jobs accessing the sequence object, a quantity of sequential values of the set of sequential values.
A computer-implemented method of managing a database, the method comprising:
- structuring the database to include a sequence object having a set of sequential values for use as a set of key values for a set of jobs;
- monitoring a count of jobs accessing the sequence object;
- and
- allocating, in response to monitoring the count of jobs accessing the sequence object,
- at least one sequential value of the set of sequential values in response to the count of jobs accessing the sequence object being one, and
- not more than one sequential value of the set of sequential values in response to the count of jobs accessing the sequence object being not one.
