Description: Performance management refers to the process of monitoring and optimizing database performance. This process is crucial to ensure that applications relying on the database operate efficiently and effectively. It involves identifying bottlenecks, evaluating workload, and implementing strategies to improve system speed and responsiveness. Performance management tools allow database administrators (DBAs) to analyze key metrics such as query response time, resource usage, and user concurrency. Furthermore, performance management is not limited to query optimization; it also encompasses hardware configuration, proper indexing, and memory management. In a general technological environment, effective performance management can translate into a better user experience, increased productivity, and more efficient resource use. Therefore, it is an essential component of database administration, especially in systems that handle large volumes of data and require high availability.
