Patent attributes
A computer implemented system and method allow database performance testing and improvement. The method comprises using a database system (DBS) for embedding a virtual resource simulation system (VRSS) into a node of the DBS, loading a new configuration parameter of a database into the VRSS, receiving, by the VRSS from the DBS, an action control block (ACB), and dynamically activating and assigning a service task by a service task dispatcher of the VRSS to process the ACB. The method further comprises simulating a process of database execution based on a content of the ACB by creating a limited database internal data structure that is based on the ACB and the new configuration parameter, and manipulating the limited database internal structure to produce a simulation result. The method further comprises utilizing a metric associated with the simulation result of the new configuration parameter in the simulated process of database execution.
