Description

This is a timeless paper. It is as relevant today as it was way back in 1995...

Success brings increased responsibility. As management expectations upon the database administrator (DBA) increase, the need to maintain performance, with every increasing application complexity and increasing data volume, has placed many DBAs in a frenzy. As a result, many DBAs have not taken a step back and understood the changes that are beginning to occur.

Rather than managing performance, overall tuning has continued at the micro level. In a desperate rush to maintain performance, DBAs are now rushing to purchase system management tools. As a result, we now have a mishmash of system management tools, tuning tools, and techniques with no holistic method to manage performance.

Total Performance Management (TPM) is a living holistic methodology. The TPM is not a top-down or a bottom-up approach to maximize performance. It is holistic because problems are attacked from multiple fronts. It is a method because it provides a structured approach to synthesize the use of tools and techniques in a dynamic computing environment. It is living because its programs evolve to meet changing requirements and are usually run selectively and purposely, not routinely. The programs make a variety of administrative and performance related alterations and alert others to perform similar tasks. This paper concentrates on the method not on the evolving programs.
