The Talk::
Database Performance
Despite the massive increase in the power and speed of both computer processing and data access, we still run into performance problems; sometimes our system are just not fast enough. I'll take a look at the options we have, especially in data storage, searching and retrieval, discussing both the tools we use, and the ways we use them, to get the performance that we need. There will be many practical tips.
