This book is about tuning Oracle databases. Three areas of Oracle Database tuning are data model tuning, SQL code tuning, and physical and configuration tuning. The author began his career as an applications developer, not as a systems or network administrator. As a result, this book is written from an applications rather than an operating system perspective. | Oracle® Performance Tuning for 10gR2 Second Edition Oracle Database Related Book Titles: Oracle 9iR2 Data Warehousing, Hobbs, et al, ISBN: 1-55558-287-7, 2004 Oracle 10g Data Warehousing, Hobbs, et al, ISBN 1-55558-322-9, 2004 Oracle High Performance Tuning for 9i and 10g, Gavin Powell, ISBN: 1-55558-305-9, 2004 Oracle SQL Jumpstart with Examples, Gavin Powell, ISBN: 1-55558-323-7, 2005 Implementing Database Security and Auditing, Ben Natan, ISBN 1-55558-334-2, 2005 Oracle Real Applications Clusters, Murali Vallath, ISBN: 1-55558-288-5, 2004 Oracle 10g RAC Grid, Services & Clustering, Murali Vallath, ISBN 1-55558-321-0, 2006 Oracle Database Programming Using Java and Web Services, Kuassi Mensah ISBN 1-55558-329-6, 2006 For more information or to order these and other Digital Press titles, please visit our website at !
