Partitioning instead of archiving   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #3553 of 3996 |

Hello *,

 

I was wondering if I could control the PPLsoft performance by partitioning of the PS_LEDGER and / or PS_JRNL_LN tables.

 

I have done the obvious other performance optimalisations and I identified and removed several bottlenecks both in SQL statements and database instance setup, effectively doubeling the speed. So performance is fine and not an urgent issue anymore. However I would like to forecast the performance of the database in the range 1 to 3 years based on the past data growth. I know that archiving the peoplesoft tables is the normal way of application management, but such archiving project is not feasible due to budget constraints.

So I need a way to maintain the present performance, not increase it. If this is not possible, forecast the performance.

 

 

Therefor I was wondering :

 

(1)     if I could enforce a more durable performance control by partitioning of the PS_LEDGER and/or PS_JRNL_LN tables.

 

(2)     How can I fill my testdatabase with extra data to simulate the future database?

 

Thanks for any pointers,

Willem Leenen

Willem, I have partitioned PS_JRNL_LN by JOURNAL_DAT. Partitioning this table helps in reducing reads in queries that join up with this table. Our PS_JRNL_LN...

Ok, thanks for this. I checked our environment, the table segment is 43Gb, the index-segment almost 12. I'll check how much % the partitioning will make on...

Willem, Partitioning is primarily for performance reasons. It also helps to archive the table in a non-peoplesoft way which we use here where I work. I...
