Parallel database systems are being used nowadays in a wide variety of systems, right from database applications to decision support systems. These implementations involve database processing and querying over parallel systems. For the parallel databases to be effective and efficient, various optimizing solutions need to be implemented. These solutions deal with various issues associated with such database systems : query optimization, data allocation within the database, etc.This paper will attempt to give the reader an understanding of the various issues involved in optimizing the performance of a parallel database system. The primary areas of focus will be system architecture, query optimization and data reallocation. It will look at related work done by other authors in this field and hopefully provide a thorough understanding of the solutions in this area.
