Description of Configuring and Tuning Databases on the Solaris Platform

Detailed tuning guidance for all major Solaris databases with best-practice recommendations for optimizing data layout, CPU and memory configuration, and system sizing. The book also describes a
systematic approach to database performance troubleshooting that uses drill-down techniques to identify system bottlenecks.
The Publisher writes:
"Using this book, database professionals can dramatically improve the performance and cost-effectiveness of virtually any database application running on the Solaris platform. Solaris database optimization specialist Allan Packer presents start-to-finish guidance on optimizing all four leading Solaris databases: Oracle, DB2, Sybase, and Informix. 'Configuring and Tuning Databases on the Solaris Platform' brings together best-practice guidelines for every aspect of database tuning on Sun servers.
Drawing on years of expertise as a Sun consultant, Packer presents detailed recommendations for data layout, CPU and memory configuration, and system sizing. A systematic, drill-down monitoring approach, designed to help database professionals identify and resolve system bottlenecks that inhibit database performance, is introduced. He demystifies database tuning by providing a quick primer that explains database architecture, key database concepts, and how to use key subsystems such as query optimizers and buffer cache. A full description and critique of each leading database benchmark is also made, offering guidance for the proper use - not misuse - of benchmarks.
