A Context-based approach for troubleshooting database problems
In the area of database administration, when a hot critical
problem suddenly occurs, an organization may lose large
amounts of money for each hour of downtime. In such situations,
the life of a database administrator (DBA) can become stressful
because of the excessive pressure to solve problems quickly.
Most of the DBAs often work in a fire-fighting mode and have
little opportunity to be proactive. They are continually
readjusting standard procedures and developing practices to
manage a multitude of specific situations that differ from the
generic situation by some few contextual elements. This paper
proposes to use “Contextual Graphs” approach to deal with
context change in database administration. This research work
presents a new version of the contextual graph platform as a basis
for designing and implementing a context-based intelligent
assistant system for supporting DBAs.
Keywords: Contextual Graph, Database administration, Procedure, Practice, Intelligent Assistant System.
