Oracle system performance inefficiencies often go undetected for months or even years–even under intense scrutiny–because traditional Oracle performance analysis methods and tools are fundamentally flawed. They’re unreliable and inefficient. Oracle DBAs and developers are all too familiar with the outlay of time and resources, blown budgets, missed deadlines, and marginally effective performance fiddling that is commonplace with traditional methods of Oracle performance tuning. In this crucial book, Cary Millsap, former VP of Oracle’s System Performance Group, clearly and concisely explains how to use Oracle’s response time statistics to diagnose and repair performance problems. Cary also shows how “queueing theory” can be applied to response time statistics to predict the impact of upgrades and other system changes. Optimizing Oracle Performance eliminates the time-consuming, trial-and-error guesswork inherent in most conventional approaches to tuning. You can determine exactly where a system’s performance problem is, and with equal importance, where it is not, in just a few minutes–even if the problem is several years old. This book cuts a path through the complexity of current tuning methods, and streamlines an approach that focuses on optimization techniques that any DBA can use quickly and successfully to make noticeable–even dramatic–improvements. The price of this essential book will be paid back in hours saved the first time its methods are used.
