The #1 Guide to Oracle8 and Oracle7 Tuning on UNIX® Platforms

Tuning Oracle without tuning UNIX® is like tuning half the cylinders onyour car. If you want all the performance you're paying for, you need to do both-and Oracle8 and UNIX® Performance Tuning will show you how.

Oracle Senior Performance Engineer Ahmed Alomari covers virtually every relevant optimization technique in Oracle8, Oracle7, and three leading versions of UNIX®: Solaris 2.6, HP-UX 11, and Sequent Dynix/ptx 4.4. He presents in-depth coverage of both OLTP and DSS applications, covering optimization of the UNIX® kernel, memory, processors and I/O, and all these major Oracle8 performance enhancements:


* Partitioning
* Star queries
* Parallel DML
* Connection Manager
* Connection pooling
* Multiple buffer pools
* Parallel query enhancements
* I/O slaves
* Multiple DBWR processes
* Optimizer enhancements
* PRO*C enhancements
