"Geoff Ingram has met the challenge of presenting the complex
process of managing Oracle performance. This book can support every
technical person looking to resolve Oracle8i and Oracle9i
performance issues."

-Aki Ratner, President, Precise Software Solutions

Ensuring high-performance and continuous availability of Oracle
software is a key focus of database managers. At least a dozen
books address the subject of "performance tuning"-- that is, how to
fine-tune the Oracle database for its greatest processing
efficiency. Geoff Ingram argues that this approach simply isn't
enough. He believes that performance needs to be addressed right
from the design stage, and it needs to cover the entire system--not
just the database.

High-Performance Oracle is a hands-on book, loaded with tips and
techniques for ensuring that the entire Oracle database system runs
efficiently and doesn't break down. Written for Oracle developers
and DBAs, and covering both Oracle8i and Oracle9i, the book goes
beyond traditional performance-tuning books and covers the key
techniques for ensuring 24/7 performance and availability of the
complete Oracle system.

The book provides practical solutions for:

* Choosing physical layout for ease of administration and efficient
use of space

* Managing indexes, including detecting unused indexes and
automating rebuilds

* SQL and system tuning using the powerful new features in Oracle9i
Release 2

* Improving SQL performance without modifying code

* Running Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC) for performance
and availability

* Protecting data using Recover Manager (RMAN), and physical and
logical standby databases

The companion Web site provides the complete source code for
examples in the book, updates on techniques, and additional
documentation for optimizing your Oracle system.
