The present invention generally relates to reorganization of table-based data objects. In a typical embodiment, the present invention utilizes SQL based scripts to run and manage online “reorgs” on DB2® table data. Such reorgs can occur synchronously or asynchronously and typically include: defragmenting the data objects to reclaim free space; sorting the data objects according to an index; and/or eliminating overflow rows in order to improve data objects access performance. Also under the present invention, information pertaining to the reorg (e.g., status) will be collected. DB2® tables can be used to drive, control, manage and track the reorganization operation. Still yet, “runstat” maintenance can be performed against data objects affected by the reorgs.
