Description
Tuning your database for optimal performance means more than following a few short steps in a vendor-specific guide. For maximum
improvement, you need a broad and deep knowledge of basic tuning principles, the ability to gather data in a systematic way, and the
skill to make your system run faster. This is an art as well as a science, and
Database Tuning: Principles, Experiments, and Troubleshooting
Techniques will help you develop portable skills that will allow you to tune a wide variety of database systems on a multitude of
hardware and operating systems. Further, these skills, combined with the scripts provided for validating results, are exactly what you
need to evaluate competing database products and to choose the right one.
Audience:
database professionals, database administrators, database programmers, upper division or graduate-level computer science students taking
courses in database technologies, machine learning, and artificial intelligence
