From a performance perspective, the use of transactions is not free.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Depending on how you configure them, transaction commits
|
|
|
|
|
|
usually require your application to perform disk I/O that a non-transactional
|
|
|
|
|
|
application does not perform. Also, for multi-threaded
|
|
|
|
|
|
<span>and
|
|
|
|
|
|
multi-process</span> applications, the use of transactions can
|
|
|
|
|
|
result in increased lock contention due to extra locking
|
|
|
|
|
|
requirements driven by transactional isolation guarantees.
|
|
|
|
|

|
There is therefore a performance tuning component to transactional applications
|
|
|
|
|
|
that is not applicable for non-transactional applications (although
|
|
|
|
|
|
some tuning considerations do exist whether or not your application uses
|
|
|
|
|
|
transactions). Where appropriate, these tuning considerations are
|
|
|
|
|
|
introduced in the following chapters.
