Covering all aspects of Oracle disk I/O tuning, this book explores disk performance, RAID management, Oracle data file performance, and Oracle data segment internals. Also explored is physical disk I/O, which includes disk device internals, detecting disk bottlenecks, disk organization techniques, and disk striping and disk load balancing. Highlighted are RAID and Oracle performance as well as techniques for effective use of RAID with Oracle. Additionally, Oracle data file internals are considered and how to use multiple data block sizes to detect and repair Oracle data segment bottlenecks and segment waits is described. Oracle segment management is illustrated, and the effective use of Oracle segment partitioning, segment slot internals, and monitoring segment I/O is explained.

Badly titled book,
By
This review is from: Oracle Disk I/O Tuning: Disk I/O Performance & Optimization for Oracle Databases (Oracle In-Focus series) (Paperback)
Book was missing the second part, April 25, 2005Reviewer: Alan Rosenthal "Matador Wannabe" (san diego, ca United States) - See all my reviews Hi, I have to agree completely with the previous reviewer. This book was badly named. It started out with a description of disk drives. Ok, fine, I don't mind a little review. But the review was still going on by page 100. The book only contained some brief and minor discussion of Oracle. There was one table from metalink on RAID recommendations from Oracle. There are only two chapters in the whole book that have the word "Oracle" in the title. One of them is on solid state disks and the other is called "Oracle 10g Disk Related Features" but is only about ASM. Disappointing

Wrong Title,

This review is from: Oracle Disk I/O Tuning: Disk I/O Performance & Optimization for Oracle Databases (Oracle In-Focus series) (Paperback)
This book has a wrong title. I thought it would provide good material about tuning oracle disk i/o performance at expert level, but actually it is an introductory book on how disks work in general. It has a cheating title. Fortunately it's not that expensive.

Impressive work,
This review is from: Oracle Disk I/O Tuning: Disk I/O Performance & Optimization for Oracle Databases (Oracle In-Focus series) (Paperback)
Because disk I/O is the main issue with Oracle this is a most-needed book and one that I recommend because it is through and has details about how to tell when disk is a problem and when you can monitor and fix disk I/O in Oracle databases.
