There are many factors that can adversely affect the performance of your database system, including weak design, inefficient queries, poor use of indexes, fragmented data and out of date statistics:P.jpg)
- If your application is running slowly, either overall or just in one particular area, you will probably benefit from some judicious performance tuning.
- With all performance issues the problems tend to get worse as the data volumes grow. Small numbers of records will usually mask performance issues; in many situations it does not matter if a job takes 0.01 seconds or 0.2 seconds. However when data volumes grow and this is scaled up the difference between 1 second and 200 seconds becomes much more significant!
- Performance can also get worse over time, even if the data volumes are relatively static. This is usually because of data fragmentation caused by inserting records into full 'leaves' and can be rectified by re-indexing.
Business Mechanix Application Services can review your database solution performance issues, including:
- Diagnosis from a T-SQL code level (if required) though to a full system audit
- Identifying and fixing performance problems, utilising various methods / tools to get the best out of your database solution.
- Full documentation of your current performance statistics and recommendations for improvements
- Implementation as required
