PREDICTING SCALE OF DATA MIGRATION

Abstract:

This application discloses a system for presenting data to a user based on requests to move data from primary storage to secondary storage. The system receives a request to move data that satisfies at least one criterion, from primary to secondary data storage. The system then identifies an initial database query from the request, and further builds a nested database query from the initial database query according to a database schema. Next, the system estimates a size of a result of executing the nested database query. Finally, the system provides for display to the user the estimated size.
