Abstract:
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.
