Hi,
Could anyone give me some good reference/documentation on optimizing queries in oracle which explains some good techniques. Are there any tools available in oracle like sqlanalyzer in sqlserver? Where can I find cost based query analyzer and stuff? help!

Thanks
Tony

Tools like TOAD make it easy to see the execution plans of statements. If you don't use that then the next choice would be to "set autotrace on" in sqlplus.

The basic tuning approach hasn't changed much since the Oracle 7 days - but of course there are fancy ways to tune for specific stuff in 8i and 9i.

Try to get a clean start by finding out what common myths are and ignore them. e.g. "using an index as always preferable to a full table scan" etc.
