Pessimistic locking and optimistic locking are two approaches used in database management systems, including PostgreSQL, to control concurrent access to shared data. Pessimistic Locking: Pessimistic locking is a concurrency control mechanism that assumes conflicts will […]
Hash aggregation is a type of aggregation algorithm used in MariaDB to efficiently calculate aggregate functions such as SUM, COUNT, MAX, and MIN on large data sets. It works by dividing the data into groups […]
What is declarative partitioning in MariaDB? How does declarative partitioning benefit MariaDB performance? Monitoring MariaDB partitioning and disk I/O operations Declarative partitioning in MariaDB is a feature that allows you to divide a table’s data […]
Avoiding the use of the “OR” operator in MariaDB can help improve query performance by reducing the number of rows that need to be scanned and filtered. Here are some strategies to avoid using “OR” […]
Using the OR operator in a SQL query can result in poor performance, especially when used in combination with other operators, such as LIKE, IN, and subqueries. In PostgreSQL, there are several techniques that can […]
In MySQL 8, invisible indexes are a feature that allows you to create an index without it being used by the optimizer. This can be useful in situations where you want to test the impact […]
Introduction In InnoDB, a linear tree is a type of data structure used for indexing and searching data. Linear trees are also known as B+ trees. The key characteristic of a linear tree is that […]
The MySQL Slow Query Log is a feature that logs SQL statements that exceed a certain threshold of execution time. This log can be used to identify slow queries and to optimize their performance. Here […]
Partitioned Bitmaps are a technique used to speed up queries on large databases by breaking them down into smaller pieces, or partitions, that can be searched independently. PostgreSQL supports Partitioned Bitmaps through the use of […]
The BgWriter process in PostgreSQL is responsible for flushing dirty pages from the shared buffer pool to disk. As such, it is a critical component of the database system and it is important to monitor […]
