Abstract
Methods and systems enable a database reorganization to occur without a database outage. In one aspect, the method includes creating a shadow copy of a database, the shadow having at least one partition associated with a plurality of first data sets and the database having at least a first partition associated with a plurality of second data sets and a second partition associated with a plurality of third data sets. The method also includes reorganizing the at least one partition of the shadow, taking the first partition offline, replacing the plurality of second data sets with the plurality of first data sets in a schema, and restarting the first partition.
