Description
The rapidly increasing volume of information contained in relational databases places a strain on databases, performance, and maintainability:
DBAs are under greater pressure than ever to optimize database structure for system performance and administration.
Physical Database
Design discusses the concept of how physical structures of databases affect performance, including specific examples, guidelines, and
best and worst practices for a variety of DBMSs and configurations. Something as simple as improving the table index design has a profound
impact on performance. Every form of relational database, such as Online Transaction Processing (OLTP), Enterprise Resource Management
(ERP), Data Mining (DM), or Management Resource Planning (MRP), can be improved using the methods provided in the book.
Audience
Database designers and database administrators working with large databases and data warehouses, who want to improve processing time for
transactions and information access, resolve storage issues, and make life better for all of us.
