EVALUATION OF SQL PERFORMANCE TUNING FEATURES IN ORACLE DATABASE SOFTWARE A THESIS SUBMITTED ON 23 OF AUGUST, 2013 TO THE DEPARTMENT OF INFORMATION SYSTEMS OF THE SCHOOL OF COMPUTER & INFORMATION SCIENCES OF REGIS UNIVERSITY IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS OF MASTER OF SCIENCE IN SOFTWARE ENGINEERING AND DATABASE TECHNOLOGIES BY fn<x Zbb/es Katarzyna Marta Dobies APPROVALS ,____/ ________ Darl Kuhn, Thesis Advisor u - Don Ina, Faculty of Record Nancy Birkenheuer, Program Coordinator Abstract Timely access to data is one of the most important requirements of database management system. Having access to data in acceptable time is crucial for efficient decision making. Tuning inefficient SQL is one of the most important elements of enhancing performance of databases. With growing repositories and complexity of underlying data management systems maintaining decent levels of performance and tuning has become a complicated task. DBMS providers acknowledge this tendency and developed tools and features that simplify the process. DBAs and developers have to make use of these tools in the attempt to provide their companies with stable and efficient systems. Performance tuning functions differ from platform to platform. Oracle is the main DBMS provider in the world and this study focuses on the tools provided in all releases of their software. A thorough literature analysis is performed in order to gain understanding of the functionality and assessment of each tool is performed. It also provides insight into factual utilization of tools by gathering responses through the use of online survey and analysing the results.

Oracle Database Vault prevents privileged users from accessing application data, restricts ad hoc database changes and enforces controls over how, when and where application data can be accessed. Oracle Database Vault secures existing database environments transparently, eliminating costly and time consuming application changes. With the increased sophistication and number of attacks on data, it is more important than ever to put more security controls inside the database. However, most customers have a small number of DBAs to manage their databases and cannot afford having dedicated people to manage their database security. Database consolidation and improved operational efficiencies make it possible to have even less people to manage the database. Oracle Database Vault controls are flexible and provide security benefits to customers even when they have a single DBA.

While the original proposal would be to assist in SQL optimization and tuning at Company A1, the scope of such project would be very time-consuming and require specific expertise within the research team. The scope of the current project was therefore revised, and the new project would consist in determining the current standards and practices in the field of SQL and database optimization in a number of companies represented on the board. Conclusions would be based on a series of interviews with Database Administrators (DBA’s) from the different companies, and on current literature about the topic. The first meeting took place 6th February 2003, and interviews were held mainly throughout the spring Semester 2003. Results would be presented in a final paper, and a presentation would also be held at the end of the project. Individual summaries of the interviews conducted with the DBA’s are included in Part B. A representative set of questions used during the interviews is also included.

  • Database Tuning Progress in a Decade
    J. Basic. Appl. Sci. Res. , 6(11)15-25, 2016 ISSN 2090-4304 © 2016, TextRoad Publication Journal of Basic and Applied Scientific Research www.textroad.com Systematic Mapping: Database Tuning Progress in a Decade 1Saba Luqman, 2Ejaz Ahmed Department of Computer Science National University of Computer and Emerging Sciences, Islamabad, Pakistan Received: September 6, 2016 Accepted: October 29, 2016 ABSTRACT Database tuning is the incremental process of tuning database and database applications to run more rapidly. With the help of tuning, transactions are executed efficiently in minimum time. A large number of published research articles are presenting database tuning but there is a deficiency of systematic research. Our focus is to provide a critical review of the nature of the systematic mapping which means performing survey on existing research of database tuning in order to identify useful approaches and map research characteristics. For the last many years, some researchers work has been carried out with different classification tuning schemes. Our results show unique and distinct percentiles of research, performed in the study of publications such as book chapters, conferences, journals, thesis reports and research articles related to database tuning in the last one decade. According to results of our systematic mapping, we find that how a significant tuning related research in terms of validation and evaluation has required? KEYWORDS : Database Tuning, Systematic Mapping, Classification, Evaluation, Threats to validity, Research Focus 1. INTRODUCTION Recent developments in science and technology depend on access of very large data in a shortest response time. This has created an immense opportunity for transactional data research to play an essential role in wide range of applications for database systems such as country's population databases, banks transactional systems, hospitals databases, and databases for macro scale knowledge discovery.

  • Autoadmin: Self-Tuning Database Systems Technology
    AutoAdmin: Self-Tuning Database Systems Technology Sanjay Agrawal, Nicolas Bruno, Surajit Chaudhuri, Vivek Narasayya Microsoft Research 1 Introduction The AutoAdmin research project was launched in the Fall of 1996 in Microsoft Research with the goal of making database systems significantly more self-tuning. Initially, we focused on automating the physical design for relational databases. Our research effort led to successful incorporation of our tuning technology in Microsoft SQL Server and was subsequently also followed by similar functionality in other relational DBMS products. In 1998, we developed the concept of self-tuning histograms, which remains an active research topic. We also attempted to deepen our understanding of monitoring infrastructure in the relational DBMS context as this is one of the core foundations of the “monitor-diagnose-tune” paradigm needed for making relational DBMS self- tuning. This article gives an overview of our progress in the above three areas – physical database design, self-tuning histograms and monitoring infrastructure. 2 Physical Database Design Tuning One great virtue of the relational data model is its data independence, which allows the application developer to program without worrying about the underlying access paths. However, the performance of a database system crucially depends on the physical database design. Yet, unlike widespread use of commercial tools for logi- cal design, there was little support for physical database design for relational databases when we started the AutoAdmin project. Our first challenge was to understand the physical design problem precisely. There were several key architectural elements in our approach. Use of Workload: The choice of the physical design depends on the usage profile of the server, so we use a representative workload (defined as a set of SQL DML statements such as SELECT, INSERT, DELETE and UPDATE statements), as a key input to the physical design selection problem.
