Course Outline
Application Tuning Methodology
Database and Instance Architecture
- Server processes
- Memory structures (SGA, PGA)
- Parsing and shared cursors
- Data files, log files, and parameter files
Analysis of Command Execution Plans
- Theoretical plans (EXPLAIN PLAN, SQLPlus AutoTrac XPlane)
- Actual execution plans (V$SQL_PLAN, XPlane, AWR)
Performance Monitoring and Bottleneck Identification
- Monitoring current instance status via system dictionary views
- Monitoring historical data dictionaries
- Application tracing (SQLTrace, TkProf, TreSess)
The Optimization Process
- Cost-based optimization properties and regulatory controls
- Determining optimization targets
Controlling the Cost-Based Optimizer Through:
- Session and instance parameters
- Optimizer hints
- Query plan patterns
Statistics and Histograms
- The impact of statistics and histograms on performance
- Methods for collecting statistics and histograms
- Strategies for counting and estimating statistics
- Statistics management: blocking, copying, editing, automation of collection, and change monitoring
- Dynamic data sampling (temporary tables, complex predicates)
- Multi-column and expression-based statistics
- System statistics
Logical and Physical Database Structure
- Tablespaces
- Segments
- Extentss (EXTENTS)
- Blocks
Data Storage Methods
- Physical aspects of tables
- Temporary tables
- Indexed tables
- External tables
- Table partitioning (range, list, hash, composite)

Materialized Views and QUERY REWRITE Mechanisms
Data Indexing Methods
- Constructing B-Tree indexes

Case Study - Joins and Subqueries
- Join methods: MERGE, HASH, NESTED LOOP
- Joins in OLTP and OLAP systems
- Join order determination
- Outer joins
- Anti-joins
- Subquery joins (SEMI)
- Simple subqueries
- Correlated subqueries
- Views and the WITH clause
Other Cost-Based Optimizer Operations
- Buffer Sort

- VIEW
- FILTER
- Stop Key
- Result Cache
Distributed Queries
- Reading query plans for dblink usage
- Selecting leading tables
Parallel Processing
Requirements
- Proficiency in basic SQL and familiarity with the Oracle database environment are required. Completion of the "Native SQL for Programmers" workshop on Oracle 11g is recommended.
- Hands-on practical experience working with Oracle.

Testimonials (2)
1. I liked the trainer's style of presenting and the patience to explain. 2. I liked that the trainer answered our side questions, even the ones that took the discussion a bit farther from the presentation, which showed flexibility. 3. I liked that there was a practical lab, not just a theoretical part. 4. I liked that it was online.
