SQLite is a small, fast, embeddable database. What makes it popular is the combination of the database engine and interface into a single library as well as the ability to store all the data in a single file. Its functionality lies between MySQL and PostgreSQL, however it is faster than both databases. In SQLite, author Chris Newman provides a thorough, practical guide to using, administering and programming this up-and-coming database. If you want to learn about SQLite or about its use in conjunction with PHP this is the book for you.

Scheduling is generally considered as the nucleus of the data center, because the orderly, reliable sequencing and management of process execution is an essential part of IT management. IBM Tivoli Workload Scheduler for z/OS is the IBM strategic product used in many large-to-midsized customer environments, responsible for scheduling critical batch applications. Therefore, the performance of Tivoli Workload Scheduler for z/OS is one of the important factors that affect the overall satisfaction from the IT services for these companies. This IBM Redbooks publication covers the techniques that can be used to improve performance of Tivoli Workload Scheduler for z/OS (including end-to-end scheduling). There are many factors that might affect the performance of any subsystem. In this book, we confine ourselves to those things that are internal to Tivoli Workload Scheduler, or can be easily verified and modified, and are likely to apply to the majority of Tivoli Workload Scheduler customer sites. Although this book is aimed at those very large installations with a batch load of 100,000 or more jobs per day, it will also be relevant to installations with a smaller batch workload who are suffering from a shrinking batch window, or those who are trying to maximize the throughput on their existing hardware, or both.
