The Art and Science of Oracle Performance Tuning

Solving or planning for performance issues is a core part of the database professional's toolkit. The Oracle database is very flexible, making it suitable for a wide range of applications. Consequently, it is highly tunable, presenting a bewildering set of choices to the inexperienced. Tuning Oracle is as much about approach as about understanding the technology. It is more than tweaking parameters or following a set prescription&emdash;it involves matching application-specific knowledge with what's happening inside the database.

Based on author Christopher Lawson's long experience working with Oracle, The Art and Science of Oracle Performance Tuning book uses a five-step model to help identify and isolate the cause of nonperformance. This book shows you how to approach problems, get the information you need from Oracle, and follow the process through to success.

解決或計劃性能問題是資料庫專業人員工具箱中的核心部分。Oracle資料庫非常靈活，適用於各種應用。因此，它具有高度可調性，對於沒有經驗的人來說，提供了一個令人困惑的選擇集。調整Oracle不僅僅是調整參數或按照一套處方，它涉及將應用程序特定的知識與數據庫內部發生的情況相匹配。

基於作者Christopher Lawson在Oracle上的長期經驗，《Oracle性能調優的藝術與科學》一書使用了一個五步模型來幫助識別和隔離非性能原因。本書向您展示如何解決問題，從Oracle獲取所需信息，並成功地完成整個過程。
