The database forms a core part of evey enterprise application and it is very important to make use of the database effectively and in an optimized manner. This paper will let you know how to identify bottlenecks in the Database that get built up without anyone noticing the same. Any enterprise application today has a database to store and retrieve data, and that isr the core component of the application. But what is happening in the application development world is that the database is given lesser importance and a lot of focus is given on the application architecture. This results in scalability issues which typically emerge when doing a performance test.
