Editorial Reviews

Book Description

A completely revised version containing updates through to Oracle10gR2. Still includes critical 9i features


Product Description

Tuning of SQL code is generally cheaper than changing the data model. Physical and configuration tuning involves a search for bottlenecks that often points to SQL code or data model issues. Building an appropriate data model and writing properly performing SQL code can give 100%+ performance improvement. Physical and configuration tuning often gives at most a 25% performance increase.

Gavin Powell shows that the central theme of Oracle10gR2 Performance Tuning is four-fold: denormalize data models to fit applications; tune SQL code according to both the data model and the application in relation to scalability; create a well-proportioned physical architecture at the time of initial Oracle installation; and most important, mix skill sets to obtain the best results.

* Fully updated for version 10gR2 and provides all necessary transition material from version 9i
* Includes all three aspects of Oracle database tuning: data model tuning, SQL & PL/SQL code tuning, physical plus configuration tuning
* Contains experienced guidance and real-world examples using large datasets Emphasizes development as opposed to operating system perspective

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Tuning Book, April 22, 2008
Many of the other books talk about theories or are a regurgitation of the Oracle documentation. This book is different. This is a no-nonsense guide to Oracle performance tuning. The organization of the book makes it excellent to read but is packed with enough information that makes it an excellent reference. Both of Gavin's books are Golden. This book deals with the traditional OLTP type system. His DW tuning book is also excellent and deals with DW type systems. I would recommend getting both as they cover the correct application of Oracle technologies to solve specific problems that you might face as an application developer, architect, or DBA.
