      <Paragraph>During ERP Enterprise 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 ERP Enterprise 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 ERP Enterprise implementation.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph>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.</Paragraph>
