Oracle Database Performance Tuning

Duration: 5 Days

In the Oracle Database: Performance Tuning course, learn about the performance analysis and
tuning tasks expected of a DBA: proactive management through built-in performance analysis
features and tools, diagnosis and tuning of the Oracle Database instance components, and
diagnosis and tuning of SQL-related performance issues. You will learn about Oracle SQL tuning
and how to apply tuning techniques to your SQL code. Learn the different ways in which data can
be accessed efficiently.

Learn To:

 Use the Oracle tuning methodology.


 Use Oracle-supplied tools for monitoring and diagnosing SQL and instance
performance issues.
 Identify and tune problem SQL statements.
 Tune instance components.
 Manage optimizer statistics on database objects.
 Understand the optimizer process steps and operators.
 Interpret execution plans.
 Perform application tracing.

Audience

 Database Administrators
 Data Warehouse Administrator
 Programmers
 Project Manager
 Technical Consultant
 IT Professionals
