tools
• Assist Database Administration in creating physical tables from logical models
 Database Administration – Physical Design / Operational
• Define required parameters for database definition
• Analyze data volume and space requirements
• Perform database tuning and parameter enhancements
• Execute database backups and recoveries
• Monitor database space requirements
• Verify integrity of data in databases
• Coordinate the transformation of logical structures to properly performing physical
structures
