Oracle Performance Tuning is not tough<\/h1>\n

<\/h2>\n

\"oracle<\/a>People say Oracle performance tuning is the toughest part in database administration. My thought is different. If you are having deep knowledge of Oracle architecture, operating system basics, application awareness, and some basics of networking\/storage then it won\u2019t be tough for you. In short, you can be handled and ability to troubleshooting of performance issues.<\/p>\n

Every version, Oracle adds some more parameters and changes<\/a> behavior of old parameters. Always ask a question to yourself about performance issue that,\u201c why today and didn\u2019t happen yesterday?\u201d. If you are able to find out an answer to this question then you will realize immediately what is an actual problem and what will be the solution to the same issue.<\/p>\n

“Do you think only experienced DBA can do Oracle Tuning?”<\/em><\/span><\/h2>\n

Do you understand my point? If not understood then I am explaining with an example.<\/p>\n

Today we got complain from application team about the slowness of database. Their all applications were stuck and some of the applications failed with error ORA-0060: Resource busy. When I tried to login into Unix server then I observed terrific slowness because my login command was also stuck. I tried to execute some Unix command for investigating like Top, PRSTAT, VMSTAT, SAR but output was reflecting after 5-8 minutes. Means server was busy. Due to this reason, I asked the question to myself, \u201cWhy today and didn\u2019t yesterday?\u201d. This was a new server and we upgraded database before 20 days back. From last 20 days, all had been working very well. But from last 3 days, a new database was created and today full backup executed with the presence of new database what did not exist before. Root cause found and issue resolved immediately.<\/p>\n

If you are able to understand the exact issue and circumstances of performance degrade then you will be able to address accurately. If the root cause of slowness doesn\u2019t find out then every effort will be useless and you won\u2019t be able to solve the performance issue. Due to these all reasons, performance tuning is art and science<\/a>. You can be understood easily if you are having some basic and good knowledge of Oracle<\/a>, operating system, storage, application trend, and networking about performance tuning. Only experienced DBAs are able to handle, it is absolutely wrong. Fresher Oracle DBA<\/a> and intermediate DBA are also able to tune performance issue.<\/p>\n

If you get the involvement of server performance issues even though it is not Oracle related then you will get a good idea and knowledge how to handle it. Sometimes, people are blaming each other for application team blames to DBA, DBA blames to System Admin, System Admin blames to storage, and storage blames to DBA. This is the wrong situation and nobody will be able to address performance issue of Oracle server accurately.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t worry if you are fresher Oracle DBA<\/a> or intermediate DBA, just try to involve in this kind of critical situation and try to investigate. You will get success.<\/p>\n

Wish you all the best.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
