SYBASE ASE 12.5 PERFORMANCE AND TUNING

GARBUS

Once your database system is up and running, you need to keep it
functioning smoothly. Designed for the DBA working to maximize the
performance of a Sybase server, Sybase ASE 12.5 Performance and Tuning
provides a guide to this important process. From benchmarking your
system and optimizing stored procedures to indexing and using sp_sysmon
to monitor your system, the authors thoroughly explain how to tune your
server for maximum performance.

Topics include defining performance, understanding the I/O system, using
the query optimizer, managing memory, and processing queries.
Additionally, the authors discuss application design, deadlocks and
locking schemes, performance metrics, and auditing features, along with
providing tips for solving problems that can bog down a system.

This book is a must for those who are responsible for maximizing server
performance.

The companion CD-ROM contains ASE 12.5 NT Developer's Edition.
