Physical Database Design

The magnitude and depth of the database on performance and support are: DBAs are under the principle of performance and administration.

Physical Database Design discusses the concept of DBMSs and configurations. Something as simple as improving the table. Every form of relational database, such as Online Transaction Processing (OLTP), Enterprise Resource Management (ERP), Data Mining (DM), or Management Resource Planning (MRP), can be improved in the book.

· The first complete treatment on physical database design, written by the authors of the seminal, Database Modeling and Design: Logical Design, 4th edition.
· Oracle, DB2 (IBM), and SQL Server (Microsoft). Includes an introduction to the database.
· Focuses on physical database design for exploiting B + tree indexing, clustered indexes, multidimensional clustering (MDC), range partitioning, shared nothing partitioning, shared disk data placement, materialized views, bitmap indexes, automated design tools, and more!
