Query Optimization Explained (in one hour)
John Hornibrook - IBM
Optimal query access plans are essential for good data server performance and it is the Db2 query optimizer's job to choose the best access plan. The optimizer is a very sophisticated component of the data server; tasked with the challenging job of choosing good access plans for the variety of features and table organizations supported by Db2. The optimizer can automatically rewrite complex SQL resulting in huge performance improvements. It models various aspects of Db2 runtime so that it can choose the best access plan out of hundreds of thousands of possible options. Attend this session to get an overview of how the optimizer works and to get some tips on how to understand its decisions and control its behaviour. All in under an hour!
10:00 - 11:00 AM CST
Improving ETL Performance
Calisto Zuzarte - IBM Canada Lab
This session focuses on (a) tips to improve ETL performance (b) ETL considerations to benefit your post-ETL warehouse query workload. Whether you load new data into your Db2 warehouse weekly, nightly, or more frequently, invariably there are time constraints that need to be paid attention to. Besides meeting the ETL SLA itself, optimizing ETL strategy so that the subsequent query workload performs well is another important consideration. This session provides tips for optimizing ETL as well as tips for ETL considerations to help improve subsequent query workloads.
11:00 - 12:00 PM CST
Adaptive Workload Management: What's New and Best Practices
David Kalmuk
Db2’s new Adaptive Workload Management technology vastly simplifies the task of dividing your database resources across workloads to ensure they meet their performance objectives. Unlike traditional workload managers, it manages the admission of jobs based on their actual resource needs and intelligently schedules them based on the resource targets you assign. This ensures stable and reliable performance, even in the face of the most highly concurrent workloads. Join David Kalmuk, the architect of the Adaptive Workload Manager, for an update on new enhancements in the latest release and best practices that will allow you to get the most out of this technology.
