datenbankintensive

datenbankintensive is a German adjective that translates to "database-intensive" in English. It describes applications, processes, or systems that heavily rely on the use of databases for their operations. This means that a significant portion of their functionality, data storage, retrieval, and manipulation occurs within a database management system. Such applications often involve complex queries, frequent data access, and substantial data volumes. Examples can include financial systems, large-scale e-commerce platforms, data warehousing solutions, and scientific research applications that store and analyze vast amounts of data.

The characteristics of datenbankintensive systems often include high demands on database performance, including query speed and transaction throughput. They may also require robust data integrity mechanisms, efficient indexing strategies, and careful database tuning to ensure optimal operation. When developing or optimizing such systems, developers and administrators must pay close attention to database design, query optimization, and the underlying hardware and network infrastructure supporting the database. Poor performance in a datenbankintensive application is frequently attributable to bottlenecks within the database layer.
