The Oracle Performance All-Star Webcast Series

As an IT professional responsible for database performance, your job is critical—and ultimately linked to your organization’s bottom line. Watch this archived webcast and gain the performance edge for your organization and yourself.

Webcast #2: “Instant Replay—Analyzing Past Performance”

You know the drill: a user reports a problem after the fact, and you have to somehow reconstruct what was going on hours or days ago. Or performance starts to decline, and you need to figure out what’s changed.

In the second webcast in the Oracle Performance All-Star Webcast Series, we looked at history and change tracking. We discussed how to investigate past performance problems—where to look first, how to gather the data, and how to draw actionable conclusions.

We also discussed how to identify changes—to explain plans, database objects, initialization parameters, and other artifacts in the environment—to determine if a change might be at the root of a performance problem.

By watching this webcast, you’ll learn best practices to implement in your own organization and achieve new levels of database performance.
