Introduction
Every enterprise uses DBMS to manage its day
to day functioning, forecast future growth and
develop strategies based on past data.

Wide spread use of Web Applications that are
database driven

Success of these apps. Depends on speed with
which the services are provided
3
Need for Tuning
Failure to provide the published web service causes huge
business losses.

Flash crash of NYSE in may 2010 wiped out $862billion in
just 20 minutes.

Manual tuning is expensive

According to payscale.com, a DBA earns on an avg anywhere
between Rs 1,69,242 - Rs 10,17,210

Changing/upgrading IT infrastructure every 2-3 years is
expensive and time consuming

Hence, there is a need to maximize the application of system
resources in an attempt to execute transactions as efficiently and
quickly as possible

8 Commands to alter tuning
parameters

Command to change the Buffer Pool Size
SQL> db2 -v alter bufferpool IBMDEFAULTBP size 4000
Command to check whether bufferpool has been altered
SQL>select * from syscat.bufferpools

BPNAME BUFFERPOOLID KSIZE NGNAME NPAGES PAGESIZE ESTORE
---------- ----------- ------------ ------ --------- -------- -----------
IBMDEFAULTBP 1 0 - 4000 4096 N

To change the LOCKHEAP parameters, use the following commands:
SQL> db2 -v update db cfg for DB_NAME using LOCKLIST a_number
SQL> db2 -v update db cfg for DB_NAME using MAXLOCKS b_number
SQL> db2 -v update db cfg for DB_NAME using LOCKTIMEOUT c_number

To change the values of SORTHEAP
SQL> db2 -v update db cfg for DB_NAME using SORTHEAP a_value

Auto-tuning features in Existing
DBMS
Auto-tuning feature is available in Oracle 10g
SQL> show parameter sga_target;
NAME TYPE VALUE
------------------------------------ ----------- ------------------------------
sga_target big integer 0
SQL> show parameter sga_max_size;
NAME TYPE VALUE
------------------------------------ ----------- ------------------------------
sga_max_size big integer 164M
SQL> alter system set sga_max_size=1200M scope=spfile;
SQL> alter system set sga_target=1100M scope=both;
NAME TYPE VALUE
------------------------------------ ----------- ------------------------------
sga_target big integer 1104M

CONCLUSION

The proposed self tuning architecture enhances the
performance of the DBMS
On distributed databases in Oracle 10G our approach
yields a significant improvement in performance as
compared to in-built Auto-tuning feature of Oracle.
NN-based tuning approach on centralized DB2
database yields a significant improvement in
performance as compared to self-tuning feature of
DB2.
NN-based tuning approach is a generic one and can
be used to tune any DBMS.

20
Future Plan
Implement NN tuning on DB2 on standalone
server and extend the same to Distributed
environment
Test on other DBMS like MSSQL Server,
MySQL to validate the method and make it
more generic approach.
Develop a self-tuning approach based on other
machine learning techniques like statistical
approach.
