AdministeringIn addition to administering the database server, you can tune performance, replicate data, and archive data.
System administrationThese topics contain concepts, procedures, and reference information for database and database server administrators to use for managing and tuning HCL Informix® database servers.
Performance GuideThe Informix® Performance Guide describes how to configure and operate your HCL Informix® database server to improve overall system throughput and to improve the performance of SQL queries.
Parallel database query (PDQ)You can manage how the database server performs PDQ and you can monitor the resources that the database server uses for PDQ.
The allocation of resources for parallel database queriesWhen you configure the database server, consider how the use of PDQ affects users of OLTP, decision-support (DSS) applications, and other applications. Then you can plan how to allocate resources for PDQ.
Limiting the priority of decision-support queriesYou can limit the parallel processing resources that decision-support (DSS) queries consume by adjusting the values of PDQPRIORITY environment variable, the MAX_PDQPRIORITY configuration parameter, and other configuration parameters.
Allowing maximum use of parallel processingSet PDQPRIORITY and MAX_PDQPRIORITY to 100 if you want the database server to assign as many resources as possible to parallel processing.

Allowing maximum use of parallel processing

Set PDQPRIORITY and MAX_PDQPRIORITY to 100 if you want the database server to assign as many resources as possible to parallel processing.

This setting is appropriate for times when parallel processing does not interfere with OLTP processing.
