Description
?This book should satisfy those who want a different perspective than the official Oracle documentation. It will cover all important aspects
of a data warehouse while giving the necessary examples to make the reading a lively experience.?
- Tim Donar, Author and Systems Architect
for Enterprise Data Warehouses
Tuning a data warehouse database focuses on large
transactions, mostly requiring what is known as throughput.
Throughput is the passing of large amounts of information through a server, network
and Internet environment, backwards and forwards,
constantly! The ultimate objective of a data warehouse is the production of meaningful and useful reporting, from historical and archived
data. The trick is to make the reports print within an acceptable time frame.
A data model contains tables and relationships between
tables. Tuning a data model involves Normalization and Denormalization. Different approaches are required depending on the application,
such as OLTP or a Data Warehouse. Inappropriate database design can make SQL code impossible to tune. Poor data modeling can have a most
profound effect on database performance since all SQL code is constructed from the data model.
Audience
DBAs responsible for maximizing efficiency of data warehouse applications. Students in a Computer Science, Computer Information Systems,
or Management Information Systems curriculum, or Oracle professionals.
