Q:

What are the different types of diagrams and what do you know about them?

Answer

Use case diagram, activity diagram, Collaboration diagram. 


Use case diagram :


It describes the business environment. Its primary goal is to show the series of events and actions within any given process that will be performed by an actor.  


 


Activity diagram:


The activity diagram is important because it gives an outline of the work flow within the business as well as the activities and action completed. 


For instance with a company, there is likely to be more than one department. In such a case each department, will have different access levels to the system. 


So if there’s a Medical, HR and Accounts team they will only have access to screens that relate to each. 


The activity diagram will highlight the differences within the departments which will be very helpful for developers when they are designing and coding. 


 


Collaboration diagram:


A collaboration diagram, also called a communication diagram or interaction diagram, is an illustration of the relationships and interactions among software objects in the Unified Modeling Language (UML). The concept is more than a decade old although it has been refined as modeling paradigms have evolved.

Q:

Could you explain the areas where tuning of database is required?

Answer

The following are the areas of concern for tuning:


- Memory Usage


- Data Storage


- Data Manipulation


- Physical Storage


- Logic Storage


- Network Traffic


Tuning Memory Usage: In Oracle 10g, we can use the Automatic Workload Repository (AWR) toolset to gather and manage statistical data but in case of Oracle 11g, we can use new initialization parameters such as MEMORY_TARGET to further control the overall memory used by Oracle. It helps us to tune the database automatically when we don’t have time to read the AWR report.


Tuning Data Manipulation: There are two ways to tune Data manipulation in Oracle one way is through Conventional Path mode and second is Direct Path mode.


Tuning Physical Storage: We need to tune the physical storage because it limits the disk in database. This can be done by: Distributing I/O, Striping and Mirroring.
