Evaluation ParameterStandard Relational PatternProduction Optimization Impact
Storage Engine LayerDisk page blocks & buffer pool cacheMinimizes random disk I/O via sequential prefetching
Index UtilizationB+ Tree logarithmic search $O(\log N)$Avoids full table scans across millions of rows
Concurrency & LocksRow-level shared (S) and exclusive (X) locksPrevents race conditions while maximizing read throughput
Failure RecoveryWrite-Ahead Logging (WAL) / Undo-RedoGuarantees durability and instant crash recovery
