Sage DB2 LUW Performance Advice |
According to our polling questions, most DBAs have seen IBM program "db2advis" recommend multiple indexes for a solution. Also, when multiple indexes are recommended, most DBAs spend 30 to 240 minutes agonizing over which of the indexes are the most valuable or important.
As you'll see in this presentation, and as you've probably experienced, the "benefit" XML tag in the db2advis output is either misleading, inaccurate, or grossly wrong. During this presentation, you will learn the correct way to calculate the value of each recommended index via two methods: index addition and index subtraction.
After seeing this presentation at IDUG North America in Philadelphia 2015, my dear friend Ember Crooks wasted no time testing these index analysis methods and then blogging about them. Ember has saved me a lot of typing time, so be sure to check her blog post for more details in addition to the video replays and PDF materials provided below.
Everyone that Attended today's show won a $10 Amazon.com gift card! Of course, you had to join the webinar on time to hear Scott disclose the secret prize word "AUSTIN". It's true - Education does PAY - especially on The DB2Night Show!
Let's just cut to the chase. DBAs spend hours and hours trying to figure out which indexes are the most beneficial, which to create, and which, if any, might be harmful. During this show's quick commercial, DBI demonstrated AUTOMATED Advanced Index Benefit Analysis. You can spend hours doing the benefit analysis and calculations by hand, or you can get an accurate index benefit analysis with DBI in under a minute. Ready to save time and tune confidently?
