Customer Reviews & Comments
Over the years I've developed a number of systems that utilized relational databases. When I developed or used a complex and/or large database, more often than not I found that database performance was the main issue, especially in real-time or near real-time applications. I have been interested in the databases *only* to the point of satisfying my projects' needs and considered them subordinate to the rest of the systems. I did realize the complexity of RDBMSs implementations, but never cared to learn more than I necessary to solve an immediate problem at hand. Maybe this is why I've never really enjoyed reading about the databases: I believed that the databases and SQL were quite boring comparing to all the elegance and slickness of C++, Java, CORBA, and other object-oriented technologies. "SQL Performance Tuning" changed my perception of that; I was hooked just after just a few sentences. The language, the obvious depth of the authors' knowledge, the wide and careful coverage of all related issues, including the very fundamentals of the relational databases are presented as needed; and mostly, the enjoyably right balance between the theory and practice makes this book an outstanding read. I have not read most of it yet, but I am very excited about what I will find in the rest of it, even if it is something that I think I know well.
