User Technologies CASCON 2008 Highlights Highlights and video on ITWorldCanada Database technologies More info An XML Index Advisor for DB2 Read the highlights article XML indexes can significantly improve workload execution performance. We have developed an XML Index Advisor for DB2 that View (28kb) helps in choosing the best indexes configuration for a given workload. In this demonstration, we showcase two new DB2 optimizer modes, the index recommendation process, and the effectiveness of the recommended indexes.

Our approach CASCON 2008 Videos employs SVM regression for learning an adaptive system model. We leverage this model for a cost-aware provisioning technique Watch full-length videos from using a utility function expressing monetary costs for both performance and power. the conference [email protected] Click here DescribeX: Pattern Discovery in Large XML Collections Where an XML collection's structure is not represented by its schema, structural summaries are coarse partitions that can be CASCON Proceedings refined to reveal substructures. DescribeX is an interactive Eclipse-based tool for creating and refining structural summaries CASCON Proceedings are formulated using "axis path regular expressions" (AxPREs) that is capable of handling multi-gigabyte XML collections. available on the [email protected] ACM Digital Library Dynamic Load Balancing using DB2 9.5 for Linux, UNIX, Windows (LUW) Data Servers and WebSphere Edge Components Related information Edge components, part of the WAS Network Deployment (ND) offering, are typically used to control client access to Web servers. CASCON archives In this exhibit, we demonstrate how Edge components can be used for availability, to load balance DB2 Clients among multiple DB2 Servers based on performance metrics, or using access control rules. CASCON mailing list [email protected] Subscribe/Unsubscribe to Enforcement of Performance Objectives for Database Workload Classes CASCON mailing list Competing workloads in a database management system need differentiated levels of service for a better performance. We present an external mechanism, which, in conjunction with DB2's comprehensive workload management features (WLM), will control the throttling provided by WLM to achieve customer-specified performance objectives for different classes of work. [email protected] Index Structures for XML Databases Survey of the available XML data indexing schemes advantages and disadvantages in terms of size and scalability, query answering power, and updatability. We present areas of potential future research in this technology, as well as the challenges of indexing XML data. [email protected] Lightweight Problem Determination for DB2 In our project, we explore the feasibility and performance of lightweight problem determination based on stream mining techniques. We have developed a problem determination tool based on these techniques to minimize the expensive consumption of system resources and frequent interference with observed systems. [email protected] Meta-Heuristic Based Tests of DB2 Optimizer This project aims to define and implement the process of SQL test case generation by using meta-heuristics. Different evolutionary approaches like ant colony or genetic algorithm will be also considered. The selection and design of test cases to be generated will be addressed in the context of static analysis of source languages, static analysis, grammar analysis, and impact analysis.
