SQL Performance Tuning - optimizing for response time

Different  queries are optimized for different objectives

Response Times and Throughput are two standard objectives.

Response Time is about retrieving the  hits as quickly as possible. In a search engine , that would mean returning the first few rows immediately

Throughput is about returning ALL the hits (rows) in the smallest time frame

Factors to consider in improving Response Time

1)       Parallelism

2)       Partitioning

3)       Data types – such as CLOBs in the table

4)       Sorting

5)       Memory

6)       SQL Statistics
