A determination is made as to whether items from the first set are in the second set of items, and the sets are divided into one or more subsets based on the determining. Each of the one or more subsets is assigned to a respective thread, and the respective thread of the subset that does not contain items in the second request is processed. This way, individual subsets (i.e. data partitions) can be processed by multiple threads in parallel without having to synchronize them.

| Method for acquiring locks in wait mode in a deadlock free manner | 20090037416 | 20090205 |
| Techniques for a data definition language (DDL) statement acquiring a lock on a table in wait mode in a deadlock free manner are provided. A DDL statement specifies metadata of a table that is to be modified, whereas a data manipulation language (DML) statement specifies a table to be modified. When a DDL statement is received, a proxy statement is initiated and executed instead of first acquiring an exclusive lock on metadata of a particular table. The proxy statement is similar to a DML statement in that the proxy statement acquires a lock on the particular table. After the proxy statement has been processed, an exclusive lock on the metadata is acquired.

| Avoiding lock contention by using a wait for completion mechanism | 20090037417 | 20090205 |
| Techniques for avoiding lock contention when processing data definition language (DDL) statements are provided. Some DDL statements modify metadata of a table and then require access to the table. After such a DDL statement modifies the metadata of a table and the updated metadata is made available (i.e., published) to other database statements, execution of the DDL statement is suspended. Data manipulation language (DML) statements acquire locks on the table. In one approach, the locks, of any DML statement, that are granted after the DDL statement is issued are timestamped. The DDL statement uses the timestamps to determine when to access the table. The timestamps are used to determine when the last DML statement (that was pending at the time the modified metadata was published) commits... |

A Data Layer interface, comprising a set of APIs, allows internal database server components to call directly to the Data Layer for making fast row changes to a table. According to an embodiment, before making any row change to a table through this Data Layer interface, a shared state data structure is created to hold the metadata about the table. A single shared state can be used for all DML changes to a particular table regardless of what columns are updated or inserted during each DML operation. When a process needs to change a row, the process uses a mutable state based on the shared state... |
