Oracle Tuning. The definitive reference. Third Edition

Więcej o książce

Oracle has emerged as the world's most flexible and robust database, but this power brings complexity that requires DBAs to possess expert knowledge of Oracle internals. This book offers a thorough, step-by-step approach to holistic Oracle tuning, drawing from extensive experience in tuning thousands of databases. As Oracle evolves, the task of tuning has become increasingly complex, necessitating new techniques for optimal performance in today's high-tech production environments. The introduction of Oracle STATSPACK and AWR has revolutionized database tuning, enabling the development of time-series tuning models to predict outages and dynamically adjust resources. Tuning efforts must match the sophistication of the databases themselves. This book aims to help you leverage Oracle's wealth of performance information to create a robust database engine that maximizes resources while minimizing overhead. It is not intended for beginners; instead, it encapsulates over a century of hands-on DBA tuning experience, offering a pragmatic approach for senior Oracle DBAs. Comprehensive in scope, it equips you with the knowledge needed to tackle even the most complex tuning challenges. Additionally, the code download includes ready-to-run scripts designed to monitor and identify challenging performance issues.
