Abstract
One embodiment of the present invention provides a resource scheduler for allocating a computer system resource, such as execution time within a processor, to database management system (DBMS) processes. The resource scheduler operates according to scheduling plans and policies. One or more plans may be configured and loaded with the DBMS. Each plan allocates the resource according to an associated policy but only one plan is active at a time. During operation of the DBMS, either or both of the active plan and policy may be exchanged for an alternate plan or policy without halting operation of the DBMS or the computer system.
