About the Book

Tuning your database for optimal performance means more than following a few short steps in a vendor-specific guide. For maximum improvement, you need a broad and deep knowledge of basic tuning principles, the ability to gather data in a systematic way, and the skill to make your system run faster. This is an art as well as a science, and Database Tuning: Principles, Experiments, and Troubleshooting Techniques will help you develop portable skills that will allow you to tune a wide variety of database systems on a multitude of hardware and operating systems. Further, these skills, combined with the scripts provided for validating results, are exactly what you need to evaluate competing database products and to choose the right one.

About the Author :
Dennis Shasha is the author or coauthor of seven books, including this book's predecessor Database Tuning: A principal Approach (Prentice Hall) and Out of Their Minds: The Lives and Discoveries of 15 Great Computer Scientists (Copernius/Springer-Verlag), numerous journal and conference papers, and four patents. He also writes monthly puzzle columns for Scientific American and Dr. Dobb's Journal. Philippe Bonnet is an experiment database researcher. He directs code development of the open source object-relational database system Predator developed at Cornell.

Review :
"For the novice, this book gives sage advice on the performance issues of SQL-level logical database design that cuts across all systems. For me at least, the physical database design was particularly interesting, because the book presents the implications of design choices on IBM, Oracle, and Microsoft systems. These systems are quite different internally, and the book's example will surprise even the systems' implementers." - Jim Gray, Microsoft "Shasha and Bonnet prove the value of applying timeless principles to everchanging technology. The unique wealth of practical ideas, facts, and examples equip database practitioners "in the trenches" like no other resource. Chapter 2 alone is worth the price of the book." - Bob Badour, Online Curmudgeon
