Introduction on performance and database growth

During LN implementation, you can follow several general guidelines to influence system performance and database growth. These guidelines are functional, technical, and process related, and are not a matter of right or wrong. The guidelines relate to LN functionality you can decide to use. However, you must be aware of the effects of specific functionality and settings on performance and database growth, during and after LN implementation.

A relationship exists between performance and database growth; generally more data results in less performance. The creation of more records, which takes time by itself, causes large tables. Selecting records from a large table takes more time than selecting data from a small table.
