Description for Relational Database Index Design and the Optimizers
Hardcover. This book covers index design, one aspect of database tuning. It will teach the reader how to improve the performance of relational databases (IBM DB2, Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server and others) with indexes designed for current hardware (gigabytes of central storage, large disk drives with RAID 5, etc.). Num Pages: 328 pages, Illustrations. BIC Classification: UNAR. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 166 x 251 x 26. Weight in Grams: 696.
Improve the performance of relational databases with indexes designed for today's hardware
Over the last few years, hardware and software have advanced beyond all recognition, so it's hardly surprising that relational database performance now receives much less attention. Unfortunately, the reality is that the improved hardware hasn't kept pace with the ever-increasing quantity of data processed today. Although disk packing densities have increased enormously, making storage costs extremely low and sequential read very fast, random reads are still painfully slow. Many of the old design recommendations are therefore no longer valid-the optimal point of indexing has come a long ... Read more
