Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of database capacity evaluation, and in particular to a method for dynamically evaluating database capacity. Background Art

[0002] The database capacity assessment method is a comprehensive process that usually includes multiple steps to ensure that the database can handle the expected data volume and user load. First, it is necessary to determine the data source and data type, identify all data sources to be processed in the system, and understand the type and attributes of the data in order to quantify the expected total amount of each type of data. Then, based on the design of the data table, the data storage requirements are calculated, including the average size of each row and the expected total number of records. In addition, the storage requirements of indexes and redundant data need to be considered, and archiving strategies should be designed to manage inactive or historical data. Finally, combined with load and performance demand analysis, a monitoring and evaluation mechanism is developed to ensure that the database capacity configuration can meet real-time needs. However, the existing methods for assessing database capacity may only focus on the current or short-term data volume, ignoring the possibility of future data growth, and the evaluation of database performance may not be comprehensive or in-depth enough, resulting in capacity configuration that cannot meet performance requirements. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To overcome the problem that existing methods for evaluating database capacity may only focus on current or short-term data volume, ignoring the possibility of future data growth, and the evaluation of database performance may not be comprehensive or in-depth enough, resulting in capacity configuration failing to meet performance requirements.
