Great book

I recently attended a local OUG Meeting in which Richmond gave a presentation on the efficient use of the Oracle Wait Interface to diagnose and solve performance problems. His presentation and philosopy corroborated another source that I had read "Performance Tuning 101" Unfortunately, I didn't win one of the three copies that he was giving away at the meeting. Instead, I went straight back to the office to order this book. It is everything I expected and more. I particularly appreciate chapter 4 in which the authors provide step by step instruction on how to create your own tool for monitoring and collecting wait interface data. I just implemented this new tool in a production environment and have already been able to diagnose some potential application "issues". This book rocks.

Excellent Book

This book is indispensable for all Oracle professionals who are interested in Performance trouble shooting

It has in-depth coverage of Wait interface (OWI), the authors present the topics in a very clear and concise fashion. This book is full of detail on OWI methodology and components The authors by their rational explanations dispel many myths about oracle performance and tuning.With clearly written explanations this book describes many of the secrets of Oracle's internals.
There is also a lot of coverage on diagnostic events and utilities like oradebug and a method to access SGA thru a C language program and also lots of trips and tricks too..

All in all a must read book for anyone interested in Oracle performance tuning

BEST book for finding Oracle 9i and 10g Performance issues

If you are a mid level to seasoned DBA I would highly recommend this book. Absolutely great! Easy to read, and good documentation. Do not why I wasted my money on some of the other performance books I bought a few months ago. GREAT BOOK for Oracle DBAs. Applicable to both 9i release 2 and Oracle 10g. -- Roger Eisentrager at Meridian IQ (www.meridianiq.com)

For Serious Performance Tuners...

I have read through the entire book and found that while it can be a slow read, it is extremely thorough and complete and accurate. This is the absolute best tuning book for practical real world performance tuning that I have found.

If you are responsible for tuning a database or keep hearing user complaints about system performance, then this is the book you should be reading. While other books outline concepts, parameters as cure-alls or other techniques that do not always apply or might even make matters worse, this book provides a practical approach that is focused on analysis that help you gain solid insight into your system performance.

Authoratative landmark work on Oracle internals

The book is simply spectacular, both for the quality of its writing as well as the depth of the material. Practical? Indeed, indispensible!

The three authors, Richmond Shee, Kirti Deshpande, and K Gopalakrishnan, have done a wonderful job in organizing a enormous subject area into manageable chunks. They have also managed to render potentially bone-dry source material into very readable text, interspersed heavily with code examples and output, sidebars, and analogies. This is a good read as well as an authoritative reference. I'm still unable to read it steadily for long periods of time, as the analogy of trying to drink from a fire-hose is relevant here. But picking it up and reading different sections, treating it like a reference, has proved rewarding. Richmond, Kirti, and K had an absolute "dream team" of reviewers on this book in Kyle Hailey, John Kanagaraj, Craig Shallahamer, and Graham Wood. The combined efforts of the three authors and the four technical editors blows my mind.

All I can say is - get it! You may (like me) not read it immediately. But, keep it handy. Along with the Google, Ixora, Asktom, JLComp, MetaLink websites, this book is the place to find explanation for the unexplainable in Oracle. Start skimming through it and recognize situations that had previously baffled now being explained (and proved) in full. It is like a light coming on.
