A method, apparatus, and system for automated information lifecycle management using low access patterns in a database management system are provided. A user or the database can store policy data that defines an archiving action when meeting an activity-level condition on one or more database objects. The archiving actions may include compression, data movement, and other actions to place the database object in an appropriate storage tier for a lifecycle phase of the database object. The activity-level condition may specify the database object meeting a low access pattern, optionally for a minimum time period. Various criteria including access statistics for the database object and cost characteristics of current and target compression levels or storage tiers may be considered to determine the meeting of the activity-level condition. The policies may be evaluated on an adjustable periodic basis and may utilize a task scheduler for minimal performance impact. |
