Abstract
Excess capacity (or excess resources) can be used in a capacity controlled environment to effectively manage data storage of a database. In this context, excess capacity can, for example, be controlled used as needed, as configured and/or on a temporary basis. Management of data storage in a database can, for example, include operations associated with moving or relocating data of the database. Relocation of data can, for example, be performed to relocate data deemed to be “hot” data to a location that can provide a faster access time in order to improve the overall efficiency of the database system.
