Objectives of This Document
This document describes the leading best practices for designing, implementing, and supporting
databases using NonStop SQL/MX. These best practices were gained from time-tested customer
experiences.
Many of these techniques apply to any type of large database environment, including decision-support
systems (DSS), data warehouses, operational data stores (ODS), and online transaction processing (OLTP)
applications, as well as applying to smaller data warehouses.
This document does not replace the more in-depth knowledge that can be gained through the NonStop
Technical Library (NTL), class education, or HP-approved consulting.
