About this title

INFORMIX OnLine is the most popular UNIX database management system on the market today. Performance tuning of the system is key to every INFORMIX installation -- but information on this topic is sparse and is scattered across multiple volumes of the formal documentation. Written by the author of the tuning material for INFORMIX training classes, this volume focuses exclusively on performance tuning the system as a whole, and provides OnLine administrators with practical step-by-step information on how to improve the performance of INFORMIX-OnLine Version 5.0 and INFORMIX-OnLine Dynamic Server Versions 6.0 and 7.0.
