Chapter 3. Solaris Optimizations for Databases
The Solaris Operating Environment (Solaris) includes a number of features and optimizations designed to enhance database performance and availability. These features have been added over a period of years, and new optimizations continue to be applied. Some of these benefits are transparent; that is, they are realized by the database suppliers without any need for code changes. In other cases, database suppliers have modified their products to take advantage of these optimizations.
The performance impact of some of these changes is significant. Researching internal workloads, for example, Performance and Availability Engineering measured a 30% improvement in OLTP performance from Solaris 2.6 to Solaris ...
