The Importance of Tuning

Performance gains of over 100% are achievable with systematic performance tuning. PRM Integrated Systems can provide those performance gains without disrupting your business. We use our years of Oracle experience to optimize your database structure and SQL queries to provide maximum performance.

When to Tune

Good tuning starts with good design and the best time to get a PRM tuning expert involved is at the design stage. Tuning continues through development where some of the most impressive performance gains can be achieved. An expert SQL review may result in significant savings in hardware costs, and may save the entire development from failure. Tuning continues throughout implementation and production. Every system has changing demands placed on it and only continuous tuning can keep it performing. Contact us early in the project design to minimize support costs over the long run.

What to Tune

Three aspects of your system can be tuned for maximum performance:

  • operating system
  • database structure (keys, indexes, partitions, etc.)
  • SQL queries

PRM Integrated Systems understands the synergy between operating systems and Oracle. Our specialists can help ensure maximum performance of server hardware and your database.

How effective is our tuning?

PRM Integrated Systems has achieved impressive increases in database performance as measured by benchmark queries before and after tuning, and measuring the load the web interface to a database can handle during peak traffic periods. We actually tripled the load that could be managed by the web interface for one of our clients!
