Pre-calculated data
You can create aggregate tables in your data warehouse to store pre-calculated
data. Consult with your Database Administrator to see how this strategy can be
used in your system.
Database connection caching
Connecting to and disconnecting from databases incurs a bit of overhead which
can lead to a slight but noticeable performance degradation in particularly large
and busy system. To avoid this degradation, MicroStrategy Intelligence Server
caches database connections. These cached connections remain open and are
reused whenever possible.
