Method for reorganizing a set of database partitions
First Claim
1. A method for reorganizing a set of database partitions, the method comprising:
- determining a fragmentation indicator for each database partition within a set of database partitions;
ranking the set of database partitions according to a rank criteria comprising at least the fragmentation indicator;
defining a subset of database partitions, the database partitions satisfying a dynamic reorganization threshold;
recalculating the subset of database partitions in response to a user changing the dynamic reorganization threshold, the dynamic reorganization threshold changed in response to a user adjusting a threshold indicator by way of a user interface;
displaying by way of a user interface one or more indicators representing database partitions that are members of the recalculated subset of database partitions in response to the user adjusting the threshold indicator, and displaying updated resource requirements based on the recalculated subset of database partitions; and
reorganizing the subset of the database partitions in the ranked set of database partitions wherein the subset is defined at least in part by a rank order for the ranked set of database partitions.

Abstract
A method is disclosed for reorganizing a set of database partitions based on a ranked set of database partitions. The method includes a step to determine a fragmentation indicator for each database partition within a set of database partitions. A step ranks the set of database partitions according to a rank criteria. The rank criteria includes, at a minimum, the fragmentation indicator. A step reorganizes a subset of the database partitions in the ranked set of database partitions. The subset is selected, at least in part, by a rank order for the ranked set of database partitions. The subset may be selected such that ranked database partitions satisfying a reorganization threshold are included in the subset.

12. A method for reorganizing a set of database partitions for a client, the method comprising:
-
providing a reorganization utility comprising; an evaluation module that determines a fragmentation indicator for each database partition within a set of database partitions; a ranking module that ranks the database partitions according to a rank criteria comprising at least the fragmentation indicator; a presentation module that presents the ranked set of database partitions to a user for evaluation, the presentation module displaying by way of a user interface one or more indicators representing database partitions that are members of a recalculated subset of database partitions, in response to the user adjusting a threshold indicator by way of the user interface, the user interface displaying updated resource requirements based on the recalculated subset of database partitions; an input module that prompts the user for a dynamic reorganization threshold in response to the evaluation, the dynamic reorganization threshold defining a subset of database partitions, the subset of database partitions dynamically recalculated in response to a user changing the dynamic reorganization threshold, the dynamic reorganization threshold changed in response to a user adjusting the threshold indicator by way of the user interface; a reorganization module that reorganizes a subset of database partitions in the ranked set of database partitions that satisfy the dynamic reorganization threshold; executing the reorganization utility against a set of database partitions; evaluating a ranked set of database partitions provided by the reorganization utility; and providing the dynamic reorganization threshold to the reorganization utility in response to the evaluation, such that the reorganization utility reorganizes the subset of database partitions of the ranked set of database partitions. - View Dependent Claims (13)
