Re: Training for Oracle Performance tuning (Optimization)

All - Thanks for all your feedback.

With respect to buying books, I do have the following books

Oracle Wait Interface by Kirtikumar Deshpande, Richmond Shee and K Gopalkrishnan
Cost-Based Oracle Fundamentals by Jonathan Lewis Optimizing Oracle Performance by Cary Millsap All of Tom Kyte's books.

However, I have never been able to read any of the above books completely in spite of doing some reading at home(on personal time). I read a few chapters here and there, but nothing comprehensively. I realize if I manage my time effectively I could probably read them, but it feels like half the day goes by while checking/responding to emails and the other half-day fixing/working on whatever issues that come up and dealing with new installs and upgrades. Being a Peoplesoft/Oracle DBA, you have the additional responsibility to keep up with Peoplesoft's technology stack (Weblogic, Tuxedo Application server etc). So I figured a good way of ramping up your expertise quickly is to go for training.

Thanks,
Sunil.
