12:30pm - 01:30pm Revival of the SQL Tuner
Sheryl Larsen, BMC, Past & Future IBM Information Champion
The pool of DBAs with SME knowledge of SQL tuning has shrunk dramatically while the number of SQL statements needing attention has grown and will continue to grow. DB2 performance tooling can help identify what needs to be tuned. But what do you do then? This presentation will help fill the skills gap by reviving the role of an SQL Tuner. Specifically, you will learn what access paths are good for what types of queries and how to change the DB2 optimizers mind.
Objective 1: Witness the access path choices with graphic animations and understand which paths are good/bad for certain queries
Objective 2: Learn how to read a visual EXPLAIN
Objective 3: Learn how to use traditional query tuning techniques
Objective 4: Learn how to experiment with more extreme tuning techniques
Objective 5: Take a 5-minute test for a chance to qualify for an official SQL Tuner certificate
