A Review on Partitioning Techniques in Database
2014
Data is most important in today's globe as it helps organizations as well as persons to take out information and use it to make various decisions. Data generally stocked in database so that retrieving and maintaining it becomes easy and manageable. All the operations of data handling and maintenance are done using Database Management System. Data management is much monotonous task in growing data environment. Partitioning is possible solution which is partly accepted. Partitioning provides user-friendliness, maintenance and impulsive query performance to the database users. In this paper, brief review of methods of partitioning and helps to reduce the wait in response time. Paper shows the positive result with partitioning methods.
Efficient Partitioning of Large Databases without Query Statistics
Efficient Partitioning of Large Databases without Query Statistics, 2016
An efficient way of improving the performance of a database management system is distributed processing. Distribution of data involves fragmentation or partitioning, replication, and allocation process. Previous research works provided partitioning based on empirical data about the type and frequency of the queries. These solutions are not suitable at the initial stage of a distributed database as query statistics are not available then. In this paper, I have presented a fragmentation technique, Matrix based Fragmentation (MMF), which can be applied at the initial stage as well as at later stages of distributed databases. Instead of using empirical data, I have developed a matrix, Modified Create, Read, Update and Delete (MCRUD), to partition a large database properly. Allocation of fragments is done simultaneously in my proposed technique. So using MMF, no additional complexity is added for allocating the fragments to the sites of a distributed database as fragmentation is synchronized with allocation. The performance of a DDBMS can be improved significantly by avoiding frequent remote access and high data transfer among the sites. Results show that proposed technique can solve the initial partitioning problem of large distributed databases.
An Active System for Dynamic Vertical Partitioning of Relational Databases
2016
Abstract. Vertical partitioning is a well known technique to improve query response time in relational databases. This consists in dividing a table into a set of fragments of attributes according to the queries run against the table. In dynamic systems the queries tend to change with time, so it is needed a dynamic vertical partitioning technique which adapts the fragments according to the changes in query patterns in order to avoid long query response time. In this paper, we propose an active system for dynamic vertical partitioning of relational databases, called DYVEP (DYnamic VErtical Partitioning). DYVEP uses active rules to vertically fragment and refragment a database without intervention of a database administrator (DBA), maintaining an acceptable query response time even when the query patterns in the database suffer changes. Experiments with the TPC-H benchmark demonstrate efficient query response time.

Increasing the size of the databases might face database administrators with performance issues. Most of the software vendors for DBMS products have included tools and techniques that help the database administrator to improve the performance of the database. In this article we will test one of the techniques used to enhance the database performance, named " table partitioning ". The test will be done on SQL Server, which is one of the most used database management systems. The article will show the steps to implement the table partitioning in SQL Server 2008 R2. A partitioned table with two partitions will be created to test the performance of queries on each partition. A data population process will be applied to the table in order to fill the partitions with differentiated amount of data. The largest partition will be called " archive " and the smaller one " current ". A comparison table storing the amount of time required to execute each of the queries will be created. Six tests for each query will be executed in order to provide accurate results. The comparison table will guide the interpretation process and will facilitate the conclusions.
Slop based Partitioning for Vertical Fragmentation in Distributed Database System
International Journal of Computer Applications, 2014
A Vertical Partitioning is the process of dividing the attributes of a relation. Further, a good Vertical Partitioning puts frequently accessed attributes of the relation together in a fragment. Various researchers have proposed different algorithms for Vertical Partitioning. Still, there is a scope of improvement in previous algorithms for Vertical Partitioning.
Dynamic Workload-Based Partitioning Algorithms for Continuously Growing Databases
Lecture Notes in Computer Science, 2013
Applications with very large databases, where data items are continuously appended, are becoming more and more common. Thus, the development of efficient data partitioning is one of the main requirements to yield good performance. In the case of applications that have complex access patterns, e.g. scientific applications, workload-based partitioning could be exploited. However, existing workload-based approaches, which work in a static way, cannot be applied to very large databases. In this paper, we propose DynPart and DynPartGroup, two dynamic partitioning algorithms for continuously growing databases. These algorithms efficiently adapt the data partitioning to the arrival of new data elements by taking into account the affinity of new data with queries and fragments. In contrast to existing static approaches, our approach offers constant execution time, no matter the size of the database, while obtaining very good partitioning efficiency. We validated our solution through experimentation over real-world data; the results show its effectiveness. ⋆ Work partially funded by the CNPq-INRIA HOSCAR project. Data are appended to the catalog database as new observations are performed and the resulting database size is estimated to reach 100TB very soon. Scientists around the globe can access the database with queries that may contain a considerable number of attributes. The volume of data that such applications hold poses important challenges for data management. In particular, efficient solutions are needed to partition and distribute the data in multiple servers, e.g., in a cluster. An efficient partitioning scheme would try to minimize the number of fragments that are accessed in the execution of a query, thus minimizing the overhead of the distributed execution. Vertical partitioning solutions, such as column-oriented databases [18], may be useful for physical design on each node, but fail to provide an efficient distributed partitioning, in particular for applications with high dimensional queries, where joins would have to be executed by transferring data between nodes. Traditional horizontal partitioning approaches, such as hashing or range-based partitioning, are unable to capture the complex access patterns present in scientific computing applications, especially because these applications usually make use of complicated relations, including mathematical operations, over a big set of columns, and are difficult to be predefined a priori.
A Survey on Analyzing and Processing Data Faster Based on Balanced Partitioning
Analyzing and processing a big data is a challenging task because of its various characteristics and presence of data in large amount. Due to the enormous data in today’s world, it is not only a challenge to store and manage the data, but to also analyze and retrieve the best result out of it. In this paper, a study is made on the different types available for big data analytics and assesses the advantages and drawbacks of each of these types based on various metrics such as scalability, availability, efficiency, fault tolerance, real-time processing, data size supported and iterative task support. The existing system approaches for range-partition queries are insufficient to quickly provide accurate results in big data. In this paper, various partitioning techniques on structured data are done. The challenge in existing system is, due to the proper partitioning technique, and so the system has to scan the overall data in order to provide the result for a query. Partitioning is performed; because it provides availability, maintenance and improvised query performance to the database users. A holistic study has been done on balanced range partition for the structured data on the hadoop ecosystem i.e. the HIVE and the impact on fast response which would eventually be taken as specification for testing its efficiency. So, in this paper a thorough survey on various topics for processing and analysis of vast structured datasets, and we have inferred that balanced partitioning through HIVE hadoop ecosystem would produce fast and an adequate result compared to the traditional databases.

EvalTool for Evaluate the Partitioning Scheme of Distributed Databases
Technological Developments in Networking, …, 2010
In this paper we present one tool named EvalTool for evaluate the partitioning scheme of distributed database. This tool could be use for calculate the best partition scheme both for horizontal and vertical partitioning, and then alocate the fragments in the right places over the network. We use an algorithm studied before, which could calculate some cost for access data to the local site and the other cost for access data from the remote site. The minimum value of this costs give the best fragmentation scheme for each relation.
