- Well, the question is actually not quite *that* broad, perhaps a more
- appropriate version would be "What is decision support to you ?" or
- "How is/will decision support be used in your organization ?"
-
- In particular, I am interested in:
-
- -- data volumes, sources and refresh/stability metrics
-
- -- typical DS machine configurations (size, isolation, workload)
-
- -- query mix and composition (aggregations, joins, bulk retreivals)
-
- -- perceived DBMS stress points in DS (utilities, SQL, tuning)
-
- -- anticipated growth or modification over the next 6, 12, 18 months
-
- -- usage patterns of DS utilities or their output (who, why, how, how often)
-
-
- Thank you for any and all input. I will post a summary if there is
- any interest.
