High Performance Oracle (with source code)

The purpose of this book is to help organizations deploy Oracle8i and Oracle9i (including Release 2) systems that meet the key end-user requirements of performance and availability at the same time. The ability to deliver on these twin requirements requires a holistic approach to the design and build of the end-to-end Oracle system, and this holistic approach is at the heart of this book. Too often, insufficient emphasis is given to  components  that  are  not  related  to  the  server.  For  example,  consider  a  scenario where an Oracle end-user application uses a local configuration file (tnsnames.ora) to locate an Oracle database.

If the database relocates to a new server one weekend, and the  configuration  file  change  is  overlooked,  end  users  won’t  be  able  to  connect  on Monday morning. The database may as well be down. From the end-user perspective, it is. In the worst case, the outage could affect the organization’s bottom line. Appropriate network configuration, based on a centralized naming service, is a critical success factor for delivering availability. A similar emphasis is required on all aspects of the  Oracle  configuration,  from  initial  installation  to  production  support,  in  order  to meet performance and availability requirements.

This book is divided into six parts, which are intended to cover subjects in the order you  might  address  them  when  setting  up  an  Oracle  configuration  from  scratch.  In order to get the most out of the book, the best approach is to read it from cover to cover in sequential order. The detail is important, and a lack of attention to detail in all relevant areas of the technology is based on personal experience significant reason why Oracle systems don’t meet end-user performance and availability requirements.

This book is intended for both DBAs and developers of all levels. In many ways, the term advanced in the Oracle world is something of a misnomer. The scope of what Oracle provides is very extensive: There’s a lot to know, but most of it is not especially complex. Anyone who understands Oracle fundamentals can understand and benefit from the contents of this book and Oracle’s own Concepts Guide is a great place to  start.  The  challenge  comes  in  deploying  systems  based  on  techniques  that  work from  the  many  techniques  available.  This  book  sets  out  to  provide  a  fast  track  to deploying systems with performance and availability built in.
