主权项

1. A method of managing response time in a database system, the method comprising:
initially operating the database system in accordance with a number of rules contained in a first working management rule-set; monitoring a plurality of events which impact operation of the database system; identifying at least one event that impacts on at least one of performance of the database system and availability of the database system when the database system is operating below peak capacity to prevent resources from being channeled to less urgent tasks and thereby to allocate resources to urgent tasks in preference to non-urgent tasks, wherein peak capacity is defined as an arrival rate of jobs being greater than 50 per minute or a sustained central processing unit (CPU) usage of over 95% for 600 seconds; and operating the database system in accordance with a number of rules contained in a second working management rule-set which is different from the first working management rule-set when the at least one event is identified, wherein each of the first and second working management rule-sets is associated with a corresponding database operation state which is defined beforehand by a user or a database administrator.
