About what I expected
13 Aug 2001
Format:Paperback
This book is a generalized look at tuning performance problems with Oracle's Statspack product. The majority of the examples and scripts are based on the Unix OS. If you are looking for a book on tuning Oracle on Unix, this is not it....
Beginning DBA's will get a fair amount out of this book. While I disagree with the author's methodology to solving performance problems, it would be a roundabout method for Novice DBA's to tune their systems. Experienced DBA's will find little new information in this book.
While Don does touch on that statspack package, most of the information comes from his custom scripts. He references the default statspack report very few times and never goes through a comprehensive step-by-step explanation of what everything means....

Not what I expected
5 Oct 2001
Format:Paperback
I was expecting this book to describe and help me decipher the statspack information to help me tune the database. Author focuses more on customizing statspack and running scripts against the statspack tables. Anyways, not what I needed. I'd like to know how to decipher Oracle's cryptic information.

Get to the heart of your Tuning issues.
15 Jun 2001
Format:Paperback
"High-Performance Tuning with Statspack" establishes a baseline understanding of tuning and addresses each topic in an easy to understand manor, with illustrated examples of how to implement the concept. There are commands and tools to identify network and system performance slow downs, like top, iostats and vmstat. Each is documented how to use and what the output really means. Examples throughout the book include the commands for different hardware, like Solaris, HP and AIX. The one thing I found most useful was the methodical way to identify a performance issue as a network, system, rdbms or sql code issue. This book is filled with tips and tricks, sql code, and other useful commands that help you get to the heart of the your tuning issues.
