First Claim
Patent Images
1. A computer-implemented method of providing in-place reorganization of a database to achieve reasonably accurate results for user transactions during high-throughput concurrent usage of the database, comprising:
- (a) tracing, in a computer, the reorganization'"'"'s movement of records across a user transaction'"'"'s position within a scan of the database by maintaining at least one movement list to track the reorganization'"'"'s movement of records that the user transaction through access, wherein the movement list comprises a differential list that tracks the records that the reorganization moves forward, backward, or behind the user transaction; and
(b) correcting, in the computer, a behavior of the user transaction to account for the movement of the records.

Abstract
An in-place reorganization of a database achieves reasonably accurate results for users during high-throughput concurrent usage of the database. The reorganization'"'"'s movement of records across a user transaction'"'"'s position within a scan of the database is tracked. The behavior of the user transaction is corrected to account for the movement of the records.

24. A computer-implemented system for providing in-place reorganization of a database to achieve reasonably accurate results for user transactions during high-throughput concurrent usage of the database, comprising:
-
(a) a computer;
(b) means, performed by the computer, for tracking a reorganization'"'"'s movement of records across a user transaction'"'"'s position within a scan of the database by maintaining at least one movement list to track the reorganization'"'"'s movement of records that the user transaction might access, wherein he movement list comprises a differential list that tracks the records that the reorganization moves forward, backward, or behind the user transaction; and
(c) means, performed by the computer, for correcting a behavior of the user transaction to account for the movement of the records. - View Dependent Claims (25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46)
