Abstract

A method includes determining that an amount of available space in a first memory used by a set of relational queries is insufficient for a query, wherein the query comprises a join operation. A first partition of a set of partitions is identified, wherein the first partition possesses a smallest available probe memory size of the set of partitions and a build memory size greater than or equal to a threshold memory size, wherein the threshold memory size is a percentage of a maximum build memory size, and the largest partition of the set of partitions has the maximum build memory size. The first partition is copied from the first memory to a second memory.
