Intermediate - Advanced Level Users.
Based on Oracle8i, release 8.1, this concise book contains detailed, hard-to-find information about Oracle internals (data structures, algorithms, hidden parameters, and undocumented system statistics). The book explores waits, latches, locks (including instance locks used in parallel server environments), and memory use and management. Aimed especially at users involved in advanced performance tuning, the book is particularly attractive to those Oracle developers and administrators who need this level of information to do serious work with Oracle services, statistics, and data structures.
