<h1 class="topictitle1">Reactive approach to tuning</h1>
<div><p>To perform reactive tuning, build a prototype of the proposed application
without any indexes and start running some queries or build an initial set
of indexes and start running the application to see what gets used and what
does not. Even with a smaller database, the slow running queries will become
obvious very quickly.</p>
<div class="section"><p>The reactive tuning method is also used when trying to understand
and tune an existing application that is not performing up to expectations.
Using the appropriate debugging and monitoring tools, which are described
in the next section, the database feedback messages that will tell basically
three things can be viewed: </p>
<ul><li>Any indexes the optimizer recommends for local selection</li>
<li>Any temporary indexes used for a query</li>
<li>The implementation method(s) that the optimizer has chosen to run the
queries</li>
</ul>
<p>If the database engine is building temporary indexes
to process joins or to perform grouping and selection over permanent tables,
permanent indexes should be built over the same columns to try to eliminate
the temporary index creation. In some cases, a temporary index is built over
a temporary table, so a permanent index will not be able to be built for those
tables. You can use the optimization tools listed in the previous section
to note the creation of the temporary index, the reason the temporary index
was created, and the key columns in the temporary index.</p>

<div class="parentlink"><strong>Parent topic:</strong> <a href="rzajqindexstrat.htm" title="There are two approaches to index creation: proactive and reactive. As the name implies proactive index creation involves anticipating which columns will be most often used for selection, joining, grouping and ordering; and then building indexes over those columns. In the reactive approach, indexes are created based on optimizer feedback, query implementation plan, and system performance measurements.">Indexing strategy</a></div>
