Discuss important decisions to be made during physical database design. (b). Why is database tuning important? How do we tune indexes, the conceptual schema and queries and views? (c). What are our choices in tuning the conceptual schema? What are the following technique and when should we apply their: setting for weaker normal form, denormalization and horizontal and vertical decompositions. 2. (a). What choices do we have in tuning queries and views? (b). What is the impact of locking on database performance? How can we reduce lock contention and hot spots? 3. (a). What are mobile databases?
