Tuning the internal structures is what you should do once you have a well formed logical data model / database design.

This will lead to 'light and efficient' SQL or PL/SQL being implementable by the App. Devs.

Sure, you need to know that a block buffer cache of 20000 buffers is a lot better than 32 (the default on some installs!) but such major problems are soon corrected by a visting Oracle wizard.

Designing the App to be efficient and scalable in the first place is much more important and in terms of time spent, Application design gives the biggest payoff for a given quantum of time spent doing it.
