Topics: DB Time-based Oracle Performance Tuning: Theory and Practice
Oracle 10g formally introduced the fundamental concept of DB Time as part of the Server Manageability effort. This concept underlies or is significantly used by many of the manageability technologies of the Diagnostic and Tuning packs in both 10g and 11g, including ADDM, SQL Tuning Advisor, Access Advisor, and Enterprise Manager. Less prominently but no less importantly the concept of DB Time is intended to be the new lingua franca for Oracle performance tuning. This session will introduce the abstract theory of DB Time and its time-normalized sibling Average Active Sessions. The process of performance tuning using DB Time will be discussed and compared with other current methodologies including those based on wait-events and SQL trace.

The session will discuss the Active Session History (ASH) technology and its critical relationship to quantifying the expenditure of DB Time in an active system across many dimensions of interest to performance analysts. The automatic analysis of DB Time by the Automatic Database Diagnostic Monitor (ADDM) is also discussed. Examples usages of Enterprise Manager’s visualization of DB Time will also be presented.

Job Title: Architect
Coverage: Worldwide

Graham Wood is an architect in the database development group at Oracle. Most of his 20 years at Oracle has been spent in performance related areas, including designing and tuning large high-performance systems, building monitoring tools such as Statspack, and in architecting performance and scalability features into the database itself. Most recently Graham has worked as part of the Oracle Manageability team tasked with simplifying the process of tuning the operation of the database which resulted in the development of AWR, ASH and ADDM to provide automatic tuning. Graham has presented at Oracle and third party conferences around the world primarily on topics of Oracle database design and performance.
