Summary: Database Tuning
Comment: Shasha and Bonnet's Database Tuning is a worthy successor to Shasha's Database Tuning: A principled approach, 1992. It adds experimental tests for tuning options, warnings about object-oriented approaches, and recommendations for application interfaces. There are new sections on financial applications, data mining, troubleshooting, e-commerce, and time series.

Databases are critical resources for business, personalized web sites, and web services. If a database is not tuned, simple optimizations can dramatically improve response time and throughput. With the methods learned from this book, database developers and administrators can improve performance and fix slow queries.

The book is well written and carefully detailed. It moves step-by-step from principles to practice. There are examples and exercises throughout.

Summary: Relational Database Tuning Principles/Experiments
Comment: A fine introduction to the topic, highly recommended for new DBAs. For experienced DBA also well worth reading, the information contained in the implementation and performance comparisons of current versions of Oracle, IBM DB2 and MS SQL Server (W2K/Linux platform) is not easily obtained elsewhere. Presents a framework in which to understand what relational DB Tuning is concerned with, starting with the principles, and offers concrete examples and measurements as well as a few exercises.
The first five chapters and a later one on database tuning are especially valuable... The book includes a very useful bibliography pro chapter.
