Oracle Data Warehouse Tuning for 10g
內容描述
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 WarehousesTuning 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.
