Additional means of increasing throughput

In addition to differentiated buffer technology (see section “The Data Base Handler's buffers and containers”) the SESAM/SQL DBH implements numerous additional measures for increasing throughput. These include not just internal optimization measures, but also measures in which system administrators can intervene and which they can control.

The sections that follow describe the different means of increasing throughput which system administrators can tune:

• Multitasking

• Multi-thread operation

• Priority control

• Flexible processing of retrieval statements

• Relocation of CPU-intensive actions
