Tablespace layout question


I am working with an application whose performance is limited by the write
activity (inserts, updates and deletes) on three specific tables. The
database is RAM resident so read performance is not limited by the disk
speeds.

We are using Postgres 8 and I am wondering about the best way to set up
tablespaces. We have 3 disk arrays. Would it make more sense to place each
of tables 1,2 and 3 and their associated indexes on their own dedicated
array or would it be better to split each table and it's indexes across the
arrays? The activity pattern for the three tables is as follows

Table 1: Lots of inserts, updates and deletes. A lot of indexes and
searches.

Tables 2 and 3: Lots of updates, searches and indexes. Not too many inserts
or deletes.

Any insight would be appreciated.

Hi all, (DB2 V7.1 for WinNT) I am looking for a way to determine the free space in my tablespace (containers), but I can't find out. The tablespace in question is a system managed tablespace in a raw partition. The Control Center always reports 100% usage (although I can insert data...). The "list tablespace containers for n show detail" command shows the number of usable pages, but they are almost equal to the total number of pages. ...

just got out of a "class" on EXPLAIN, from a 390/v6 maven. was told that ACCESSTYPE = 'R' in the plan_table meant a TableSpace scan. hmmmm. next step up (or down, depending on your outlook) wasn't a Table Scan. thought this might be a MainFrame thing; but a look at DB2Info on my UDB 7.2 server showed the same thing. this is truly puzzling. is there an explanation of EXPLAIN which describes how to get a Table Scan???? or are we...

We use redirected restore to refresh test from prod on different AIX 5.2 servers. The databases have the same number, size and names of cooked containers. The only difference is the fully qualified path contains a different "SID": eg. "/db2/PRD/data1/..." versus "/db2/TST/data1/...". (Please note as an SAP installation I cannot change this layout). We use "set tablespace container" statements to redefine the fully qualified container...

Hello all, I have a database around 600GB and all tables were self-created by the application. Hence, we have only one huge SMS tablespace where all the tables are stored. To get better performance, we are planning to move the tables to a DMS tablespace with multiple containers. There are LOTS of tables and some tables have almost 40GB of data. Can you please suggest and efficient way of doing this. Also, I know that even a 32KB page...

I have an OLTP database that has a tablespace that will start out at about 1 TB, but may grow to 75 TB's in size over the next 5 years. When I add new containers (on a new mount point), I want to use the BEGIN NEW STRIPE SET command to avoid rebalancing. Anyone know the maximum number of STRIPE SET's that can be created for a tablespace.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
