The indication of a database backup process starting is received. A plurality of buffer manipulator threads are marked as active. A determination is made whether any of the plurality of buffer manipulator threads marked as active in the database backup process become idle. In response to determining that at least one buffer manipulator thread in the database backup process becomes idle, the at least one idle buffer manipulator thread is reassigned to a first largest tablespace in the database that has not completed the database backup process. The first largest tablespace has a largest storage capacity relative to other tablespaces in the database.

Database backup performance

A method and system for automatically and transparently managing a directory in a database system to preferentially use of objects in an in-memory database instead of copies of the objects in disk-based databases, in order to speed up application response times. The methods and systems selectively add or update LDAP entries to leverage advantage of the database objects in the in-memory database, so that the LDAP entries point to the in-memory database instead of disk-based databases.
