I/O considerations

The database server stores UDRs and triggers in the following system catalog tables:
  • sysprocbody
  • sysprocedures
  • sysprocplan
  • sysprocauth
  • systrigbody
  • systriggers
These system catalog tables can grow large with heavy use of UDRs in a database. You can tune the key system catalog tables as you would any heavily utilized data tables. To improve performance, use the following methods:
  • Isolate system catalog tables.
  • Balance the I/O activities.
