In an example, a flexible schema table may be schematized. Records from the flexible schema table may be queried and, for keys in the records, a data type is estimated for each key. View columns may then be selected from the keys based on a predetermined condition. A view of the flexible schema table may be created from the selected view columns, wherein the view includes the view columns and the data types for the view columns.

A computer-implemented process to assess the raw size of a compressed database involves sampling a subset of the cells of the database. The raw sizes of the sampled cells in the subset are assessed. The raw size of the database is determined based on the raw sizes of the sampled cells.

Assessing compressed-database raw size

Data elements are stored at a plurality of nodes. Each data element is a member data element of one of a plurality of layouts. Each layout indicates a unique subset of nodes. All member data elements of the layout are stored on each node in the unique subset of nodes. A stored dependency list includes every layout that has member data elements. The dependency list is used to determine availability of data elements based on ability to access data from nodes from the plurality of nodes.
