  • Patent number: 8898136
    Abstract: A database statement categorization system can enable DBAs or other users to more easily find tunable database statements by categorizing the database statements. The database categorization system can analyze a DBMS to identify the types of database statements executed on the DBMS and can then categorize the statements automatically, outputting the categorization for presentation to a DBA (or other user). This categorization can advantageously separate less relevant statements that warrant less tuning or investigation from more relevant statements that may have a measurable impact on the performance of the database. By allowing users to focus on statements that are more likely to warrant attention, in certain embodiments the database categorization system streamlines the tuning process.
