Abstract

See full text

A method and associated system for offloading the collection and optimization of database statistics to an external computer system, without using significant resources required by the database system during its normal operation. A processor of a computer system captures and stores information about the database's recent transactions, where the captured information describes how each transaction altered the logical description of the database or revised data stored in the database. The processor uses this captured information to update stored metadata that identifies the database's logical structure, and to further update stored database statistics that describe characteristics of the data stored in the database. These updated statistics are then returned to the production database's optimizer module, which uses them to determine how to efficiently respond to database-access requests.
