I have had many questions as to when this will be out. It is finally out. It
was supposed to be 300 pages ... ended up being 900 pages... the perfectionist
in me is both a curse and a blessing. A lot of pain along with 10+ years of
tuning experience is in it. All the x$, v$ and init.ora's including the
undocumented. Also, estat/bstat, all of the join tuning (nested loops, hash
joins, merge joins with diagrams), a chapter on hints, disk I/O, UNIX
monitoring, Oracle's Tuning Pack, what's new in 8i and a lot more. Worth
reading ... not sure that it was worth writing. If you have it ... your
feedback is appreciated. The goal was to the share the knowledge...never
though it would be that painful. Sorry that it's over a year late. But now it
is out and available online. Make sure that you read the introduction if you
do have one now.
All the best in your tuning efforts,
