Oracle Essentials [Electronic resources] : Oracle Database 10g, 3rd Edition نسخه متنی

Chapter 6. Oracle Performance

As this book illustrates, the Oracle database has a wide range of
features. As you gain experience with Oracle, you'll
reap more of the benefits it has to offer. One area on which you will
inevitably focus is performance tuning. This chapter gives
you the basics you'll need to understand before you
can address performance issues.

Oracle database performance tuning has been extensively documented in
the Oracle community. There are numerous books that provide detailed
and excellent information; many of these are listed in Appendix B.
This book is focused more on the concepts of the Oracle database, so
we won't delve too deeply into specific tuning
recommendations. Instead, we'll touch on the
importance of tuning and discuss some basic notions of how Oracle
uses resources. Here, we're simply laying a
foundation for understanding Oracle performance issues. This
understanding will help you implement the tuning procedures most
suited for your own particular implementation scenario. Where
appropriate, we'll provide some basic tuning
guidelines.
