Abstract
Memory of a database management system (DBMS) that is running in a virtual or physical machine is managed using techniques that that reduce the effect of memory swaps on the performance of the physical or virtual machine. One such technique includes the steps of determining a swap rate while the database application is in an executing state, and decreasing the size of memory space available to the database application if the swap rate is above a threshold.
