Course Summary
The purpose of this course is to equip database administrators
to recognize, diagnose and remedy performance problems
which might arise in the operation of the Oracle database
server. Beyond reactive measures, proactive actions which
can be taken to avoid performance issues before they arise
or are recognized are also considered.

What You Can Expect
This course goes beyond basic automatic tuning techniques
discussed elsewhere within our database administrator
curriculum and covers the whole range of tuning issues,
including manual database tuning techniques, host system
tuning, network and listener tuning, and others. Among
the specific subjects discussed in this course are:
- Utilization of advanced self-tuning and self-management
capabilities, including the use of the database Advisors
and other components of the Management Framework.
- Performance monitoring, problem troubleshooting, and resolution.
- Detailed scrutiny of database activity using statistics
and wait events, as well as a review of the underlying
mechanisms and computations involved in the automatic
tuning features of the Oracle10g release.
- Manual database tuning using Statspack.
- Tuning of the shared pool, buffer cache and shared memory
structures, including little known techniques to address
unique circumstances and challenges.
- Tuning recovery structures such as checkpoints and redo
data.
- Tuning physical storage structures such as file I/O and
database blocks, detecting and reducing fragmentation
of physical storage.
- Tuning specialty structures such as the PGA and temporary
space.
- Use of specialty performance tuning features, such as metrics,
metric baselines, and alerts
Who Should Take This Course
The target audience for this course is Oracle database administrators
and data center support engineers and consultants. Additionally,
senior database developers will benefit from an understanding
of the architecture of the Oracle database with which
they interface.
