| Tuning Oracle Systems |
Two part presentation on tuning Oracle Systems. The “Soft Skills” part focuses on how we think about tuning and the approaches we use. This includes a technique for producing a 3 dimensional graph plotting cost/benefit/risk. The “Hard Skills” part focuses on tools and techniques that can be used to solve Oracle performance problems. These include o/s tools, SQL scripts, and trace file analysis. The zip file contains a power point presentation as well as output from some of the scripts discussed. This presentation was originally done for an internal training event at the Dallas Enkitec office. |

The zip file contains the presentation and 2 text files with demonstrations of the Results Cache feature and the Real-Time SQL Monitoring feature. |
