{"product_id":"automated-physical-database-design-and-nicolas-bruno-9781439815670","title":"Automated Physical Database Design and Tuning: Emerging Directions in Database Systems and Applications","description":"\u003cp\u003eDue to the increasing complexity in application workloads and query engines, database administrators are turning to automated tuning tools that systematically explore the space of physical design alternatives. A critical element of such tuning is physical database design since the choice of physical structures has a significant impact on the performance of the database system. \u003cstrong\u003eAutomated Physical Database Design and Tuning\u003c\/strong\u003e presents a detailed overview of the fundamental ideas and algorithms for automatically recommending changes to the physical design of a database system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe first part of the book introduces the necessary technical background. The author explains SQL, the space of execution plans for answering SQL queries, query optimization, how the choice of access paths (e.g., indexes) is crucial to performance, and the complexity of the physical design problem.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe second part extensively discusses automated physical design techniques, covering fundamental research ideas in the last 15 years that have resulted in a new generation of tuning tools. The text focuses on the search space of alternatives, the necessity of a cost model to compare such alternatives, different mechanisms to traverse and enumerate the search space, and practical aspects in real-world tuning tools.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the third part, the author explores new advances in automated physical design. He applies previous approaches to other physical structures, such as materialized views, partitioning, and multidimensional clustering. He also analyzes workload models for new types of applications, generalizes the optimizing function of current physical design tools to cope with other application scenarios, and examines open-ended challenges in physical database design.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book offers valuable insights on well-established principles and cutting-edge research results in automated physical design. It helps readers gain a deeper understanding of how automated tuning tools work in database installations as well as the challenges and opportunities involved in designing next-generation tuning tools.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nicolas Bruno\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1439815674\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781439815670\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e CRC Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/07\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 254\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.10w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2011 pg. 206","brand":"Nicolas Bruno","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48088266047743,"sku":"9781439815670","price":260.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6872c1ef-f3bb-4333-8d49-3ca6015f3d13.jpg?v=1769103957","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/automated-physical-database-design-and-nicolas-bruno-9781439815670","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
