Description: Database performance tuning is the process of optimizing database performance by adjusting various parameters. This process involves evaluating and modifying configurations, indexes, queries, and data structures to improve the efficiency and speed of data access. Database optimization is crucial in environments where large volumes of data are handled and quick responses to queries are required. Database administrators (DBAs) use various techniques, such as creating appropriate indexes, normalizing data, optimizing SQL queries, and configuring database server parameters. Optimal performance enhances user experience and reduces operational costs by maximizing resource utilization. Tuning is an ongoing process, as application needs and data usage patterns may change over time, requiring regular adjustments to maintain efficient performance.
