Table Partitioning Improving Database Maintainability and Performance

Getting Started with Table Partitioning Table Partitioning Application and Design

What Problem Are We Trying To Solve? We all need to get more out of our database and application. Data complicates our world and continues to challenge us. So we continue to struggle to move forward and find tools to help Treading water is the same thing as drowning for people like you and me. Frank Underwood (House of Cards) 4 10

What Is Table Partitioning? Traditional Table Storage Table stored in a single place Queries can read the whole table which can slow down performance Maintenance hard to perform Order Table Order Record Data Order-date Index Partitioned Table Storage Tables split into multiple, self-contained locations Queries only access what they need Maintenance can be on a partition basis Partition 1 Order-date <= 12/31/2012 Order Record Data Partition 2 Order-date >= 1/1/2013 Order Record Data Order-date Index Order-date Index 11

Table Partitioning: Why Do I Need It? Maintenance Advantages Working only with what is important Database utilities can run faster Scanning, Tuning So what can you do with a partitioned table? Add, Split, Delete, Merge, Truncate, Table Move, Index Move, Index Check, Index Rebuild, Index Fix, Index Compact, dbtool, Binary Dump & Load, SQL Dump & Load* In-Place Migration Partition level configuration Create & Toss Limits, Alternate Buffer Pool *analysis Tools Partition aware Note: Maintenance advantages happens with most database sizes. The larger the database the more advantage you will see. 12

Table Partitioning: Why Do I Need It? Availability Database available during partition processing List processes that can be taken advantage of Improve processing Partition isolation allows for different things to happen at the same time. Rebuild Indexes at the partition level Partition is taken offline for things like Index Rebuild This is all about concurrency of operations and processing. 13

Table Partitioning: Three Types List, Range and Sub-Partition List Partition by Region Range Partition by Order Date Sub-partition by Region and Order Date Order Table Order Table Order Table Western Region 2010 Western 2010 Western 2011 Western 2012 Northern Region 2011 Northern 2010 Northern 2011 Northern 2012 Southern Region 2012 Southern 2010 Southern 2011 Southern 2012 14

Rollbase and Corticon Improving Application Functionality and Flexibility

Rollbase for OpenEdge Dudes Using OE, Corticon, Rollbase and Node.js Understanding Business Rules and When to Use Them Rule-and-Model-Driven Web-UI Akioma Modern Business Application Development Using OpenEdge, Corticon, Mobile and Rollbase Together Corticon Integration with OpenEdge and BPM Customizing Your Application, NO PROBLEM!

Accessing OpenEdge from Rollbase Tighter integration with Progress Pacific Including Rollbase and Corticon Rollbase can access your OpenEdge Application or Database OpenEdge Services Objects Fully On-Premise can access the OE DB directly with External Tables OpenAccess for OpenEdge access to your business logic from Rollbase via JDBC. Hosted Rollbase can access OE DB using DataDirect (and other ways too) 23

Why Use Corticon? Puts volatile decision logic in hands of business (domain experts instead of just IT) Agile decision capabilities Allows decisions to be managed in a separate tier with a more agile lifecycle separation of system and business logic Accelerates logic development time and reduces maintenance time Improves ease of use through good visual tooling Build vocabularies and rules declaratively through a model driven approach Consistency throughout the application Improves application quality Gaps & overlap analysis prevent technical inconsistencies Use case testing on the fly 24

How does Corticon integrate with OpenEdge (pre 11.4)? 1. Design-time Meta-data integration Create Corticon vocabulary from existing TempTables and ProDataSets 2. Simple, fast ABL API Simple API that hides most invocation complexity & abstracts transport Allows ABL apps to reuse existing data structures as inputs/outputs (ProDataSets, Temp Tables) Productivity macros: BR-CONNECT, BR-INVOKE and BR-GETMSG 3. Run-time code-free database integration using Corticon Enterprise Data Connector Enrich request data with dynamic OE DB lookup Add or update data in OE DB direct from Corticon decision service 4. Corticon (and OE-BPM) have there place in OERA 5. Corticon complements OpenEdge BPM and Rollbase 6. Web Services integration (pre v11.3) 25

Corticon 5.4 and OpenEdge in 11.4 Simplified installation and user interface A single unified Corticon Studio with PDS for OE Improvements to Corticon Studio OE DB is now available as a database connection - You can read from and write to an OE DB from Corticon Decision Services. Eclipse development environment upgraded to 4.3 Available as 64 bit 26
