Effective

data collection and analysis

correcting performance problems.

Low

time but wise versa is not true always.

Increasing

number of session pool will

increase performance too.

SQL Tuning Overview

The

goals of SQL tuning involve

verifying the best execution plan for
any statements.

Oracle

support both automatic and

manual tuning.

Considering

End User Response Time

and Server Resource Usage.

SQL Tuning Overview

If you INSERT into a table with three indexes, then it will be

approximately 10 times slower than an INSERT into a table with
no indexes.

The worst type of view use is when a view references other

views, and when they are joined in queries.

If you want SQL to accomplish different things, then write

various statements.

Rewriting an inefficient SQL statement is easier than modifying

it.

Using triggers consumes system resources. If you use too many

triggers, then you can find that performance is adversely
affected.

Writing Better SQL Statements

Get

only required columns in the select statement.

Use

untransformed column values in WHERE clauses

as much as possible.

Beware

of implicit type conversions.

Writing Better SQL Statements

Using Indexes
Do

not build indexes unless necessary.

Consider

indexing keys that are used frequently in WHERE

clauses.
Consider

indexing keys that are used frequently to join

tables in SQL statements.

Columns

that are frequently update are bad for indexing.

Columns

that have long character strings are bad for

indexing.
Do

not index keys that appear only in WHERE clauses with

functions or operators.

or in an expression.
