ORACLE Performance Tuning

By Peter Corrigan & Mark Gurry
642 pages, ISBN: 1-56592-048-1, $34.95 (US)

We have just released this book that pulls together the  experiences of
many ORACLE system users and administrators who  have learned how to tune
their ORACLE systems --running either  RDBMS Version 6 or Version 7--to
best advantage. It answers  questions like:

   - "I've been waiting 30 minutes for a response to my query-- 
      what's going on?"
   - "My system administrator says our system is I/O-bound-- 
      what can I do?"
   - "Our application ran fine in testing, but the response is 
      terrible now that we're in production--help!"
   - "Our backups take too long--how can we speed them up?"

It is written for managers, designers, programmers,  database 
administrators, and system administrators, interested in dramatically 
increasing the performance of existing ORACLE system.
