Sap Maxdb Administration

This book is your must-have companion for the administration of SAP MaxDB. It discusses useful principles, provides a step-by-step guide for typical administration tasks, and supports you in identifying and solving common problems.

The authors provide you with a highly detailed overview of the database, illustrating the different instance types, the structure, and the user concept. The interaction between SAP NetWeaver Application Server and SAP MaxDB is described in depth before you dive into the typical tasks within the lifecycle of a database instance from installation and upgrade, to the configuration of the database as well as backup and recovery, to the deletion of the instance. Chapters with useful information on performance and troubleshooting tips for common problems serve to round out this comprehensive administration handbook.

The book is based on SAP MaxDB 7.7, but it can also be used for older releases.
