Database buffer size investigation for OLTP workloads
Thin-Fong Tsuei, Allan N. Packer, Keng-Tai Ko · 1997
It is generally accepted that On-Line Transaction Processing (OLTP) systems benefit from large database memory buffers. As enterprise database systems become larger and more complex, hardware vendors are building increasingly large systems capable of supporting huge memory configurations. Database vendors in turn are developing buffer schemes to exploit this physical memory.
