Abstract

Apparatuses, computer readable media, methods, and systems are described for accessing table layout data identifying a plurality of fields included in a table stored in a database, accessing log data identifying a number of times each of the fields of the table has been queried, ranking the fields based on the number of times each of the fields of the table has been queried, determining a first subset of the fields that have not been queried at least a predetermined number of times, and generating an update to the table by removing the first subset of the fields from the table.
