Abstract:
1. A method including executing instructions recorded on a non-transitory computer-readable storage media using at least one processor, the method comprising: receiving a command to quiesce a target database; identifying the target database; modifying a control parameter for the target database at a first time in response to receiving the command; scheduling one or more access requests for the target database received after the first time to execute at a later time, wherein the modified control parameter causes the scheduling of the one or more access requests after receiving the command to quiesce the target database; allowing one or more in-flight transactions for the target database that are incomplete at the first time to complete, the time at which the one or more in-flight transactions complete being a second time; writing data for the target database to permanent storage at a third time, the third time being after the second time; modifying the control parameter for the target database at a fourth time; and executing the one or more scheduled access requests, wherein the modified control parameter causes the execution of the one or more scheduled access requests after the fourth time.
