Performance measurement is the process of collecting, analyzing and/or reporting of key defined metrics regarding the performance of database management components and the overall database management system.
As a process, performance measurement is not just collecting data associated with a predefined performance goal or standard. Performance measurement is an overall management system involving prevention and detection aimed at achieving conformance of the database management process to an established target. Additionally, it is concerned with process optimization through increased efficiency and effectiveness of the product, solution or service. These actions occur in a continuous cycle, allowing options for expansion and improvement of the process as better techniques are discovered and implemented.
If an activity cannot be measured, it most certainly cannot be controlled. If it cannot be controlled, then it cannot be managed. Without dependable measurements, intelligent decisions cannot be made. There are a number of tools available that can assist with testing performance and scalability of Oracle Databases and their platforms including Swingbench, HammerDB, Benchmark Factory for Databases, Apache JMeter, HP Load Runner (with SiteScope) and others.
Database Replay introduced as an option since Oracle 11g allows the recording of a production database workload and replay that workload against a development or test instance of the database. With 12c Oracle has enhanced the

The Performance Measurement is a way to either measure or give a understandable value to what has been done compared to what was supposed to be done. It applies to all aspects in the working environment, such as procedures, critical activities and processes. In other words, first you set pre-defined goals and give away tasks and responsibilities to other workers, then at the deadline you can compare the achieved results to what the original goal was at the beginning. It is also useful to evaluate not only the final result, but even all the actions taken to get that particular results and the way the actions have been taken as well.
To evaluate the Performance in any organization would simply mean to understand the goals and objectives of the company and how the goals/ objectives are achieved are the means of measurement. Different organization will have different objectives. For some it would mean high revenue, managing resources, customer satisfaction, and strong governance, building
Measuring performance means when a business will measure the quality of the activities that are passing and the quality of the services provided to the customers by employees. It involves creating a simple, but effective, system for determining whether organizations meet objectives. It’s also a process of collecting and reporting information regarding the performance of an individual, group or organizations. It can
Performance measurement enables quality improvement through the measurement of performance based upon quality indicators. Therefore, performance measurements can lead to quality monitoring and ultimately quality improvements and the two are dependent upon each other. External indicators
In this case, performance measurement is an important element. Performance metrics should be constructed to encourage performance improvement, effectiveness, efficiency, and appropriate levels of internal controls. They should also incorporate cost/risk/benefit analysis, where appropriate. The SMART concept is frequently used to provide a quick reference to determine the quality of a particular performance metric:
‘Performance records or measurement’ refers to the process of quantifying the efficiency or effectiveness of an action, while a measurement is the metric used in the quantification of the process (Neely, et al 1995).
Contained within this plan will be a performance measurement framework that is aligned with the organization's objectives, goals and strategy. This plan will also address the specific job analysis process to help identify what skills are needed where throughout the company. A measurement method will also be introduced to help address the gaps in workers' skills and also by creating a feedback mechanism that helps sustain and promote the values of the organization and its products and services.
In my PAD 314 Leadership, Supervision and Performance class I am doing this second paper based on the book Performance Measurement: Getting Results by Harry P. Hatry. I will be working as a leader or manager who is doing a performance measurement. Harry said that “the results based on performance measurement is a valuable management tool that is widely applicable to public service programs, including those in developing countries.” In other words, I going to be in charge of making sure that the organization is working on performing it’s function to its optimal ability. I have to make sure things are working correctly in this program. There are many techniques that can help me perform a great job with the company I am working on, but in this
Reviewing the performance of an organization is also an important step when formulating the direction of the strategic activities. It is important to know where the strengths and weaknesses of the organisation lie, and as part of the ‘Plan –Do – Check – Act’ cycle, measurement plays a key role in quality and productivity improvement activities. The main reasons it is needed are:
This paper will compare and contrast five different database management systems on six criteria. The database management systems (DBMS) that will be discussed are SQL Server 2000, Access, MySQL, DB2, and Oracle. The criteria that will be compared are the systems’ functionality, the requirements that must be met to run the DBMS, the expansion capabilities – if it is able to expand to handle more data over time, the types of companies that typically use each one, the normal usage of the DBMS, and the costs associated with implementing the DBMS.
I have experience in performance management and understand the performance appraisal or a disciplinary process. It aims to improve organisational, functional, team and individual performances. Effective performance management measures the progress being made towards the achievement of the organisation's business objectives. It does so by planning, establishing, monitoring, reviewing and evaluating organisational, functional, team and individual performance.
Performance measuring is vital part which assessing value of employee and management. Performance can be measure through employee’s overall impact cost efficiency and effectives. (Anon., 2017)
Precise offered the software that helped its clients to manage the performance of their information technology (IT) systems. Precise is in the performance management and availability market. Its products are designed to manage the performance applications utilizing Oracle database. The company had focus on a small range of core products but provided users high quality that promised. Precise offered the software license and services. The main products were insight products, SQL and Presto. Precise/SQL accounted for 86% of all Precise’s software licensing fees. The company has strong trained account reps with very strong relationships with key clients. End-to-end response time is extremely important to ensure the system ran efficiently and effectively. All of the available products focused on the performance of each of the components of the system. The sales cycle is 6 to 12 months on average. Precise realized from the feedback of its consumers that they should provide right solutions to its clients rather than the products. However, a full-functionality end-to-end performance tool needs a long time to be developed. It’s going to take six and nine months to get a basic product with purely monitoring only. The fully
Managers should ensure that selected performance measurement system fits the unique requirements and business strategy of the firm. In general, primary economic activity of the company and its performance focus should dictate the selection of performance measurement model.
