Oracle8 and UNIX Performance Tuning

Presents coverage of maximizing Oracle8 performance by tuning both the database and the underlying UNIX system. This book also presents coverage of tuning both OLTP and decision support databases. It introduces UNIX kernel-related issues that impact performance; and covers techniques for tuning memory, processors and I/O.

This is the book/cd-rom package that describes how to optimize the performance of an Oracle 8 database running on a UNIX system. Covered systems include Solaris, Sequent, and HP-UX. One of the things that will separate this book from the competition is that it provides specific tuning direction for both OLTP databases and DSS databases. No other tuning book breaks the direction down to this level of detail. In addition, a CD-ROM will be included that contains shell scripts, a performance monitor for Oracle. Oracle scripts, a parameter reference, and related white-papers.
