Summary: Takes Oracle tuning to a new level!
Comment: Cary and Jeff have created mathematical techniques to uncover the root causes of Oracle performance. For years Cary has tuned Oracle databases at client sites and conducted seminars to teach other DBAs his methods. Now he has compiled his methods into a comprehensive manual. While all other books on this topic make general statements, perhaps backed by a test or two, Cary and Jeff provide a rigorous mathematical foundation for their method. But even there, they strive to make the math as comprehensible as possible. This will take Oracle tuning to a new level of scientific precision.
I have been the lead DBA at my company for 8 years now and have also experienced many of the problems he described. Some DBAs still rely on the old buffer cache hit ratio method. Recently I had a production database experience its highest buffer hit ratio. This occured while the database was nearly unusable due to a problem query! So I can vouch that there must be a better way.
Thank you Cary and Jeff for contributing this advancement to Oracle performance tuning. I would strongly recommend that every Oracle DBA have this book on their bookshelf.

Summary: Performance tune Oracle to a new level
Comment: Another reviewer mentions "this book fills in all the gaps in analyzing Oracle performance that exist in other published works", and I disagree. This book creates gaps in most other Oracle performance analysis books. This is a tremendous book.
Some difficult material that is covered with detailed and simple explanations. If you can read and follow through with the examples you will definately come to understand even these parts.
The gaps Millsap and Holt create in other Oracle performance tuning books are 'assumptions', 'generalizations' and 'inaccuracy' because this book teaches the reader how to precisely identify user's Oracle performance problems, and exactly what to fix.
Having read this book in depth, I'll continue by saying this book also shows how to fix Oracle Performance problems. But, I almost guarantee if you are not prepared to learn the material, and follow the Method R, you may disagree this book shows 'how'.
This book is five stars because its the only reference currently available (first of class in my opionion) that provides 100% business value to Oracle performance tuning of existing systems (Oracle 7 through 10). Experience Oracle DBAs and Developers may have problems with this book because it will cause you to think about Oracle Performance in a new, refreshing way by directly improving user's response times.
Hopefully, you will read this book with an open mind and capture why Method R is so powerful to solve all sorts of Oracle performance tuning problems. Great job Millsap and Holt.

Summary: good analysis
Comment: Ground breaking approach. Cary takes the use of wait interface to new level. Very well explained with examples. It is good to see much of the information from many of his whiet papers have been transferred into the book.
