Most software solutions are backed by a database, meaning the overall application performance is greatly affected by the database's performance. It's therefore highly advantageous for software professionals to know how to analyze and optimize database performance. Take this comprehensive course to learn about the many facets of database performance optimization. Discover how to optimize data structures and examine the data definition language (DDL) used to manage that structure. Find out how to optimize data storage within a database as well as SQL queries that act on that data. Study performance tuning techniques. Practice optimizing a SQL table using indexes. And explore several optimization tools. Next, examine several strategies for optimizing database performance. Then see how to troubleshoot slow database symptoms in the context of an application. Upon completion, you'll know how to optimize database performance in isolation and as part of an application.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN

  • Discover the key concepts covered in this course
    Summarize what's meant by database performance optimization, briefly noting the three domains: database structure (ddl), data, and sql
    Outline the basic elements of optimizing a database design, including the use of keys and indexes
    Describe the ways you can optimize data definition language (ddl) queries and data structure, noting how database optimizers tend to ignore ddl statements, using mysql as an example, and relating back to the primary factors of database performance
    List factors that can affect the performance of your queries, using mysql as an example, and relating back to the primary factors of database performance
    Describe the ways you can optimize data storage, using mysql as an example, relating back to the primary factors of database performance
    Outline how to optimize sql commands, using mysql as an example, noting the role of the query optimizer, relating back to the primary factors of database performance
  • Detail techniques and best practices for performance tuning
    Optimize a mysql table using indexes
    Compare database optimization tools from several vendors
    List strategies for optimizing database performance
    Describe database performance as part of an application, focusing on code best practices and determining the root cause of slow downs
