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 stores 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.
