Editorial Reviews

Product Description
This handbook provides database administrators with clear and concise processes with which to attack tuning problems using Oracle Wait Interface. A guide is provided to demonstrate the mechanics of the Wait Interface and how to use it not only to tune database performance at the database level but also to give the statistics needed to understand problems that lie outside of the database in the SAN or the network. Techniques that apply to tuning any Oracle database from version 7 through 9i and beyond are included.

Stephen Andert is a database administrator for First Health Group Corporation. He has written articles on SQL*Loader tuning and has presented at local and international Oracle user group events. He is an Oracle8 and Oracle8i Oracle Certified Professional and is currently serves on the board of AZORA, the Arizona Oracle user group. He lives in Chandler, Arizona.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good place to start . . . ., December 9, 2004
By Eric L. Yen (Covia, CA USA) - See all my reviews
The subject of Oracle Wait Tuning (OWT) is gaining popularity among more and more DBAs. This book takes the subject of OWT and presents it in a clear and easy manner. By removing the mystery and mystic and presenting the techniques you can learn without being buried in all the details. Note that this book does point you in the right direction when you need more detail. I suggest "Optimizing Oracle Performance" by Cary Millsap for deep detailed information. The Oracle Wait Interface book from Oracle Press is a good book right after this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy to read and great scripts!!!, November 22, 2004
By Kevin (Tempe, AZ) - See all my reviews
This is no boring white paper. It was an easy to read informative look at a new way of tuning. As an Oracle DBA II, I am by no means an Oracle expert, but this book allowed me to understand what tuning with the wait interface is all about. It gave me a comprehensive understanding of what the wait interface can display system wide. I was also very happy that there where "working scripts" that actually worked.!!!

I would recommend this book to anyone from a DBA I to a DBA III. It might not even hurt if a few sysadmins read it too...

Did I mention I liked the scripts?

3.0 out of 5 stars Merely a reference book for OWT starter, February 25, 2005
Less practical example and heavy marketing attitude , if compare to other reference on oracle performance titile, other than tuning 101 (it's dummy).

5.0 out of 5 stars Comprehensive coverage and working scripts too!
As the editor for this book, I'm probably biased, but Steve Andert has carefully condensed the work of noted Oracle wait event tuning experts into a concise, on-point book... Read more
