Oracle Parallel Processing Book

Parallel processing is becoming increasingly important to database computing. As databases grow to enormous sizes and are accessed by large numbers of users, this growth strains the ability of single-processor and single-computer systems to handle the load. More and more, organizations are turning to parallel processing to give them the performance, scalability, and reliability they need. Oracle Parallel Processing is the first book to describe the full range of parallel processing capabilities in the Oracle environment, including those new to Oracle8i. In addition to describing parallel processing benefits and architectures (SMP, MPP, NUMA, and clusters), it covers the use, administration, and tuning of Oracle's many parallel execution features: parallel query, parallel data loading, parallel DML and DDL, and parallel replication propagation. The book also covers requirements, administration, monitoring, tuning, and recovery issues for Oracle Parallel Server (OPS), which allows work to be spread over both multiple CPUs and multiple nodes.Read More
