Size of free list is 85116
Processes swapped in 20

P Pages paged out 17
Device interrupts per second 1503
System calls per second 1102
Context switch rate 353
What must be done to improve performance?
A select that returns exactly one row is performed to a remote server over a TCP/IP connection. The buffer size returned is 8K. The following environment variables are set:
IFX_DEFERRED_PREPARE = 1
FET_BUF_SIZE = 10000
OPTOFC = 1
IFX_AUTOFREE = 1
How many messages will be exchanged?

A database server has 10 dbspaces and each of them consist of four 2GB chunks. Onbar is used as the backup utility. The database administrator performs a whole-system backup everyday and it takes 10 hours to complete. What should be done to reduce the backup time?
A database administrator (DBA) is performing an onbar restore and the restore process is taking a long time to complete. The DBA does not know how far the restore has completed. Which configuration parameter should a DBA set to monitor the restore process?
What is a way that a non-privileged database administrator can change the database server operating modes from one to another (e.g.. online to quiescent)?
