Performance Tuning Your JDBC Application

 

WebLogic Performance-Enhancing Features


How Connection Pools Enhance Performance
Caching Statements and Data

 

Designing Your Application for Best Performance


1. Process as Much Data as Possible Inside the Database
2. Use Built-in DBMS Set-based Processing
3. Make Your Queries Smart
4. Make Transactions Single-batch
5. Never Have a DBMS Transaction Span User Input
6. Use In-place Updates
7. Keep Operational Data Sets Small
8. Use Pipelining and Parallelism
