Excellent performance book
After reading the first 25 pages or so I became motivated to read more and finish it. I purchased this book and did not open it for about 4 months. It took me about 2 weeks to read through the entire book. The author does a really good job of detailing how to use Oracle tracing to troubleshoot performance related issues. With no shortage of Oracle performance tuning books this is definitely one of the better ones. This book must be one of the best performance related books because you can read it cover to cover. The book is packed with detail so you will reread several pages a few times, kind of like being in college and spending a couple of hours reviewing a couple of pages out of Calculus book.
If you are at all serious about becoming better at Oracle tuning this is a great book to read.
Dated - but good nonetheless
. The wait event approach to tuning is outdated, but Millsap has done a remarkable job of getting into the insides of Oracle and he shows many techniques for improving Oracle performance.
