Designing full-function databases

After you determine the type of database and optional functions that best suit your application's processing requirements, you need to make a series of decisions about database design and use of options.

This set of decisions primarily determines how well your database performs and how well it uses available space. This series of decisions is made based on:

  • The type of database and optional functions you have already chosen
  • The performance requirements of your applications
  • How much storage you have available for use online
