482.0. "OPS on Data Warehouse?" by HGOVC::PATRICKNG () Wed Apr 23 1997 07:50

    Hi,
    
    Is there any limitation to run Trucluster Production Server with
    Memory Channel and Oracle OPS on 600-800GB Data Warehouse?
    
    The database contains many short records.
    
    10 concurrent complex queries are expected.
    
    Does Memory Channel OPS improve the performance?
    
    Thanks,
    Patrick

    Well, the genaral problem with OPS is that you want to achieve as high
    a level of "localization of data" as possible, i.e. you do NOT want to
    have all requests for data go across the MC.  It kind of depends on
    whether you're looking for performance or for high availability. 
    Remember that the MC has a limited throughput (but it's of course much
    better in v1.4 than in 1.)  If you have no way of partitioning the data
    and the data requests you may not achieve the performance you'd expect.
    Do you need all nodes to process user requests?
    Can you control where the user requests are located?
    Can you partition the database over two nodes (or however many you
    have)?

    Thanks.
    
    Given more read queries than write transaction, does OPS improves
    performance by spread out concurrent query on two nodes?
    
    I think OPS is good for load balancing and high available. If there are
    multiple large queries running at the same time, the turnaround time of
    each query should be shorten if two nodes are running.
    
    Any comment?
