In this book we have listed performance tuning parameters right through the data model, to extraction of data, to data loading, to fine tuning of the database while ending with proactive operational maintenance mode (e.g. review aggregates, build new ones, delete unused ones, find problem queries) as an ongoing cycle.
Also covered in the book is how to evaluate the actual performance whether there is a scope of improvement or other avenues of performance tuning have to be explored. However the book is not dealing with ‘extremely technical’ aspects of the performance tuning, as such content would cater to “purely technical” readers.
