Performance analysis of online health care system

Abstract

This paper deals with selection of appropriate indexing techniques applied on MySQL database for a health care system and
its related performance issues. The proposed Smart Card based Online Health Care System deals with frequent data storage,
exchange and retrieval of data from the database servers. Speed and accuracy is of primary concern of the system. An approach
towards the actualization of this proposal requires through analysis of performance related issues. B-Tree indexing technique is
applied in most of the cases but other indexing techniques such as Hash and Bitmap are also used as per the requirement for fast
retrieval of patient information from health care database. Suitable memory management and indexing techniques are analyzed
and proposed for fast and accurate data retrieval from the system. Application of the proposed system has been developed as
front end in .net whereas, back end as database in MySQL.
