Many existing Oracle installations perform well below expectations, and this costs companies both time and money.
As a senior member of the Oracle Support team, the author is exposed to this sort of difficulty daily and sees the same
problem arising time and again. This book will allow DBAs and developers to tackle these problems in a quick and
effective manner. It will show the reader how to use the Oracle tools to identify and analyze a performance bottleneck, isolate the root cause, apply different possible resolutions and then quantify performance improvements. It is a practical field guide for the diagnosis and resolution of common day-to-day problems such as poorly performing SQL queries, database hang, session hang, the sudden slow performance of a Production database, and so on.
