Abstract

The current performance models can be divided into two categories, analytic models and statistical models. The ana-lytical models are built by studying the processes of query execution for the specific database system. It can adapt to dynamical queries well and does not need to do costly sampling experiments. It is complex, however, to describe the execution processes of concurrent queries, and has to develop different theoretical models for different database systems. In contrast, statistical models predict the performance of database systems by training a mathematical model with data collected from the database systems, avoiding the complexity of studying the detailed query execution processes and has better prediction accuracy. For the reason of sampling, statistical modeling is costly and cannot adapt to dynamic queries. This paper survived the literatures of performance modeling of database systems, put emphasis on the major modeling methods. And then discussed the pros and cons of the two types of models, and the challenging and corresponding approaches for attacking them. Finally, it also discussed the future research directions in the field of database performance modeling.
