International Journal of Information Studies AbdulMateen, Basit Raza, Muhammad Sher, Mian Muhammad Awais 6 1 2000 https://www.dline.info/ijis/fulltext/v6n1/ijisv6n1_1.pdf Rapid growth in data, maximum functionality and changing behavior tends the database workload to be more complex and tricky. Every organization has complex types of database workloads that are difficult to manage by the humans; human experts take much time to get sufficient experience to manage workload efficiently; even in some cases this task becomes impossible and leads towards malnourishment. The versatility in database workload leads practitioners and researchers towards new challenges. The paper presents a novel approach for the workload management through Case Base Reasoning characterization approach, impact based scheduling and DBMS idleness detection. The approach will be validated through experiments which will be performed over the real time workload to reveal the efficiency and accuracy. The ultimate goal of the research is to provide an Autonomous Workload Management framework with characterization, scheduler and idleness detection modules.
