Planning for the Database Server

Configuring a database management system requires many decisions, such as where to store the data, how to access the data, and how to protect the data. How you install and configure Dynamic Server can greatly affect the performance of database operations.

You can customize the database server so that it functions optimally in your particular data-processing environment. For example, using a database server to serve 1000 users who execute frequent, short transactions is very different from using a database server to serve a few users making long and complicated searches.

When you are planning for your database server, consider your priorities and your environment.
