Two Oracle scientists focus on optimizing Oracle performance rather than ineffectually "tuning" it, elaborating on methods that work to identify performance bottlenecks and predict and quantify the performance improvements expected from upgrades.

When your database application isn’t running fast enough, troubleshooting is usually your first move. Finding the slow part of an application is often easy, but discovering a solution can prove much more difficult. Troubleshooting Oracle Performance helps by providing a systematic approach to addressing the underlying causes of poor database application performance. Written for developers by an application developer who has learned by doing, this book shows you how to plan for performance as you would for any other application requirement.
