Database programming; Databases

Use an innovative approach that relies on big data and advanced analytical techniques to analyze and improve Oracle Database performance. The approach used in this book represents a step-change paradigm shift away from traditional methods. Instead of relying on a few hand-picked, favorite metrics, or wading through multiple specialized tables of information such as those found in an automatic workload repository (AWR) report, you will draw on all available data, applying big data methods and analytical techniques to help the performance tuner draw impactful, focused performance improvement conclusions.

This book briefly reviews past and present practices, along with available tools, to help you recognize areas where improvements can be made. The book then guides you through a step-by-step method that can be used to take advantage of all available metrics to identify problem areas and work toward improving them. The method presented simplifies the tuning process and solves the problem of metric overload. You will learn how to: collect and normalize data, generate deltas that are useful in performing statistical analysis, create and use a taxonomy to enhance your understanding of problem performance areas in your database and its applications, and create a root cause analysis report that enables understanding of a specific performance problem and its likely solutions.

What You'll Learn

Collect and prepare metrics for analysis from a wide array of sources

Apply statistical techniques to select relevant metrics

Create a taxonomy to provide additional insight into problem areas

Provide a metrics-based root cause analysis regarding the performance issue

Generate an actionable tuning plan prioritized according to problem areas

Monitor performance using database-specific normal ranges

Who This Book Is For Professional tuners: responsible for maintaining the efficient operation of large-scale databases who wish to focus on analysis, who want to expand their repertoire to include a big data methodology and use metrics without being overwhelmed, who desire to provide accurate root cause analysis and avoid the cyclical fix-test cycles that are inevitable when speculation is used

Roger Cornejo has been an Oracle enthusiast since 1985 (versions 4-12c). He has experience on large enterprise-class Oracle applications, not only in performance troubleshooting and tuning, but also in systems architecture, information modeling, and software development/project management. For the past 10 years, his main focus has been database performance analysis and tuning, with much of his time spent exploring the complexities and usefulness of AWR* tuning data. He produces Oracle Database tuning results across 12c/11g/10g (and occasionally 9i) databases. He is a thought-leader in his field, and has been recognized for his expertise in tuning. He has presented at the past eight East Coast Oracle Conferences, as well as at COLLABORATE14 and COLLABORATE18, RMOUG16, and Hotsos 2017-2018.
