If you need a fast application, this book is an absolute MUST HAVE for your library. Take the time to read and understand every word written - it is SO well thought out.

Summary: Somewhat interesting, but redundant
Comment: I have read previous book by Rich and found this one is not as good as the previous one.
As in previous book, there are too much of redundant information. For the experienced
database engineer this book is somewhat helpful, but do not expect an exciting reading.
Some of the chapters like init.ora parameters or v$ views are not really useful. In my opinion
about 400 pages would have been more than enough to cover performance tuning.
In the same time there are useful chapters that are interesting for even experienced DBA, such
us table joins and statspack. There are not enough information for 9i specific tuning tips on
automatic undo management and automatic PGA allocation

Summary: Best Practices for Tuning...Nuts to Bolts
Comment: This book is concise, practical and thorough!
It starts with a high level view of new 9i features and then drills down to the meat and potatoes of not just 9i tuning, but tuning skills that can be applied to any Oracle database. It speaks to the beginner developer and DBA as well as the seasoned veteran tuner with equal added value for each. I really enjoyed the focus of the Disk I/O and Fragementation chapter. It drills in the fact that no matter how hi-tech or low-tech your disk technology is you must adhere to the common sense basics and take ownership of your database data files, I/O, partitioning and fragmentation down to the disk level and not leave it in the hands of your Hardware Admin. I also like the way he incorporates GUI (OEM) and line command options for those who are old school DBA's. He hits the new init.ora parameters, TKPROF, and stored outlines. As always, he covers documented and undocumented init.ora parameters, and an appendix of the GV$, V$, and X$ tables. The only thing I would have wished to be added was the hard to find proper use of the 'alter session set events' functionality to trace the optimizer decision process without the use of TKPROF. If you only have room for one Oracle tuning book on your shelf, make it this one, its still the "Gold Bible for Oracle Tuning".
