Abstract
Allocating free space in a database table. Statistics associated with records in a database are received, including an average record byte size for records stored in the database table. A primary free space byte size for record updates is determined, including comparing a preliminary free space byte size to the average record byte size and a byte size of a record subjected to a database operation. Based on the primary free space byte size, free space at the page level of the database table is allocated.
