Excerpt
Excerpt Save query plans, run times and performance benchmarks in the database. Storing processing performance information and benchmarking data in the database can be done quite easily, although it is often an afterthought in many data warehouses. For example, recording a process start time and end time for every critical batch or processing task in the warehouse can easily be implemented via such things as stored procedures, shell scripts or ETL tool tasks that serve as wrapper or control objects. |

Claims
1
A computer-implemented method for optimizing migration of a database from a source system to a target system, comprising:
collecting source parameters related to performance characteristics for the database on the source system;
generating database configuration information on the basis of the collected source parameters and target parameters of the target system, wherein the target parameters will affect the operation of the database on the target system as compared to the operation of the database on the source system; and wherein the database configuration information is applicable to tune the database to operate on the target system; and
configuring the database to run on the target system according to the database configuration information.

11
A computer-readable medium having a program stored thereon which, when executed, performs operations for optimizing migration of a database from a source system to a target system, the operations comprising:
receiving source parameters related to performance characteristics for the database on the source system; and
generating database configuration information on the basis of the collected source parameters and target parameters of the target system, wherein the target parameters will affect the operation of the database on the target system as compared to the operation of the database on the source system; and wherein the database configuration information is applicable to tune the database to operate on the target system.

A data processing system, comprising:
a source system having a database;
a target system; and
a detection/restoration component for optimizing migration of the database from the source system to the target system, the detection/restoration component being configured to:
collect source parameters related to performance characteristics for the database on the source system;
generate database configuration information on the basis of the collected source parameters and target parameters of the target system, wherein the target parameters will affect the operation of the database on the target system as compared to the operation of the database on the source system; and wherein the database configuration information is applicable to tune the database to operate on the target system; and
configure the database to run on the target system according to the database configuration information.

26
A computer-implemented method for optimizing migration of a database from a source system to a target system, comprising:
collecting source parameters related to performance characteristics for the database on the source system; and
restoring the database on the target system according at least to the source parameters; wherein the restoring accounts for a difference in operating characteristics between the source system and the target system.
