SYSTEM TABLES SYSDATABASES & SYSUSAGES Types of Databases

Master DB stores information regarding all other databases, Logins, Devices, etc. It keeps track of all the databases. It has nearly 32 system tables. Some of them are syslogins, sysdb, sysdevices,sysroles, sysprocess, etc. Server wide details are stored in here. It is the heart of the Server. Model DB Is the template for all the databases, excluding the Master. Temp DB can be referred as a workspace for the users to perform operations. Itis a volatile memory, so whenever the server is rebooted, it has to be recreated using the template from Model DB SYBSYSTEMPROCS DB stores all the system procedures

SYSTEM- system tables for a particular database LOG- All data modifications in the database are temporarily
stored temporary in the log

DEFAULT- User created data objects

that stores information about segments & DB size

SYSSEGMENTS & SYSUSAGES are SYSTEM TABLES

sp_addsegments To add the segments to the database.

bcp --- take a backup copy of the objects and then copy them back to new segment clustered index --- By recreating a clustered index for the object on new object sp_placeobject --- It moves the next coming up objects to the new segment

When ever a query is executed it is executed in three phases. Parser -- > checks for the syntactical errors Compiler -- > checks for the query plan in data cache Execute -- > checks for the result in the data cache

During the phases of execution, the single process can change to various states depending on the availability of the i/o, query plan, data, etc. Below are mentioned the possible states of a process.

During the execution of a query, it goes through many phases, which can result as a HIT or a MISS depending on the availability of the data in the cache The below diagrams clearly explain the steps involved during HIT or MISS

STATUS Sleeping

CONDITION
Waiting disk I/O, or some other resource. Probably indicates a process that is running, but doing extensive disk I/O In the queue of runnable processes Actively running on one on the Server engines
