Description
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to monitor database performance using database-management system modelling.No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of endorsement but users should confirm requirements with the relevant federal, state or territory authority.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1. Undertake database management system modelling
- 1.1 Review database prototype, as appropriate, to determine acceptance criteria and performance standards
- 1.2 Load test data according to the technical sequence detailed in documentation
- 1.3 Generate a test schedule for the database of tasks to be performed and results expected
2. Monitor database performance
- 2.1 Evaluate database performance against acceptance criteria and performance standards
- 2.2 Identify discrepancies in results when expected outcomes do not meet acceptance criteria
- 2.3 Identify areas needing enhancement and document changes to be made
- 2.4 Modify database according to project standards
- 2.5 Repeat performance testing until expected results are achieved
3. Seek client feedback and sign-off
- 3.1 Present test results in a document and provide to client for feedback
- 3.2 Incorporate client change requests as appropriate
- 3.3 Obtain client sign-off of the monitoring process
The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included.
Database may include:
commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) database packages
object-relational databases
proprietary databases
relational databases.
Acceptance criteria may include:
cost implications
technical and logistical considerations
timeframe.
Documentation may follow:
audit trails
client training
International Organization for Standardization (ISO), International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) and Australian Standards (AS) standards
maintaining equipment inventory
naming standards
project-management templates and report writing
satisfaction reports
version control.

The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.
Overview of assessment
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit
Evidence of the ability to:
identify technical considerations affecting implementation of a database
analyse performance issues during implementation of the database.
Context of and specific resources for assessment
Assessment must ensure access to:
database management system (DBMS)
target database prototype
testing and benchmarking software
appropriate learning and assessment support when required
modified equipment for people with special needs.
Method of assessment
A range of assessment methods should be used to assess practical skills and knowledge. The following examples are appropriate for this unit:
verbal or written questioning to assess candidate’s knowledge of database performance testing
review of candidate’s test schedule that documents evidence of discrepancies
evaluation of candidate’s documented test results.
Guidance information for assessment
Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended, where appropriate.
Assessment processes and techniques must be culturally appropriate, and suitable to the communication skill level, language, literacy and numeracy capacity of the candidate and the work being performed.
Indigenous people and other people from a non-English speaking background may need additional support.
In cases where practical assessment is used it should be combined with targeted questioning to assess required knowledge.
