Part: Recommended (Non-query) Optimisations

This section entitled "Recommended (non-query) optimisations" should be a brief report containing recommended optimisations you would recommend if you had total control of the database implementation.

Provide recommendations to areas like...

• Operating System
• Recommended processor
• Recommended network connection
• Recommended DBMS Parameter settings (i.e. buffer-size, cache-size etc.)
