... Isn't this getting a little off the mark though? Last I checked, almost every database on the planet (yes even pervasive sql) when allocating pages/extents, left an amount of space unutilized at the end. In fact, if you do a reorg in SQL server, it specifically asks how much space you want

formula (was Re: Online DB Reorg) Please don't throw the concept out. Like all tools it has it's place. For example, we are thinking about reorg'ing one of our TSM databases. Why? 1) I ran a test reorg of one of our TSM databases on a test system. The db was 80gb in size with 72gb used. It shrunk

Re: Database fragmentation formula (was Re: Online DB Reorg)

2003-10-21 Thread Richard Sims
Good point for reducing size, other than normal growth why would it not last long, is ther other reasons? Charles - Normal daily TSM activity makes for a lot of db updating which rather rapidly returns the db to a condition akin to that before the db reorg. Entropy, and all that.

I have to ask one thing about all this higher math - Does it matter? That is, what can you do about it, or what should you do about it? I think the answer is that, even if these competing formulae are correct and you discover your database is fragmented, there is practically nothing you can or

OK I ran Remco's sql and it reports my database is 53% fragmented. I know that a fragmented database is the natural state, but is there any level of fragmentation that you should start to get worried at ? Not being a database expert I would say only worry if TSM cache hits start slipping badly,

I too will some day in the future need to reorg a TSM database. I am currently working to split our 122GB database into two TSM instances. I will be doing the same as Andy!!! Andy, Do I understand correctly that you simply pointed clients to the new server and did a full backup and some time
