Oracle High Performance Tuning for 9i.and.10g

There are three parts to tuning an Oracle database: data modeling,
SQL code tuning and physical database configuration.

A data model contains tables and relationships between tables.
Tuning a data model involves normalization and de-normalization.
Different approaches are required depending on the application,
such as OLTP or a Data Warehouse. Inappropriate database design can
make SQL code impossible to tune. Poor data modeling can have a
most profound effect on database performance since all SQL code is
constructed from the data model.

Poorly written SQL code is often a culprit of performance problems
and is expensive to rectify. However, tuning of SQL code is
generally cheaper than changing the data model. SQL code tends to
be contained inside independent blocks within applications or
stored procedures.

Physical database tuning involves hardware resource usage,
networking and various other Oracle things such as configuration
and file distribution. Physical configuration is often a culprit of
poor performance where Oracle is installed with defaults, and never
altered by an expert.
