| Abstract | One technique that is sometimes employed to enhance the performance of a database management system is known as attribute partitioning. This is the process of dividing the attributes of a file into separately stored subfiles. By storing together those attributes that are frequently requested together by transactions, and by separating those that are not, attribute partitioning can reduce the number of pages that are transferred from secondary storage to primary memory in the processing of a transaction.The goal of this work is to design mechanisms that can automatically select a near-optimal attribute partition of a file's attributes, based on the usage pattern of the file and on the characteristics of the data in the file. The approach taken to this problem is based on the use of an accurate partition evaluator and of a heuristic that guides a search through the large space of possible partitions. The heuristics propose a small set of promising partitions to submit for detailed analysis. The evaluator assigns a figure of merit to any proposed partition that reflects the cost that would be incurred in processing the transactions in the usage pattern if the file were partitioned in the proposed way.We have implemented an evaluator for a particular model database system and have developed a heuristic search technique. A series of experiments has demonstrated the accuracy and efficiency of this heuristic. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
