Oracle Database Performance Tuning

Learn how to identify performance bottlenecks and tune Oracle databases using proven methodologies

This course teaches you how to systematically analyze and tune Oracle database performance using proven methodologies and real-world tools.

Many DBAs are called to investigate a slow database or a sluggish session but do not know where to start. Others rely on increasing system resources as a first solution without understanding the real bottleneck. This course shows you how to identify the root cause of performance problems and apply the correct solution.

The course goes beyond theory. You will gain hands-on experience using Oracle performance tuning tools and applying Oracle’s performance tuning methodology step by step.

You will learn how to:

• Identify performance bottlenecks in Oracle databases

• Use Oracle performance tuning tools, including:

  • AWR and ASH

  • V$ views

  • SQL tracing

  • Real-time SQL monitoring

  • Enterprise Manager Express

• Analyze wait events, statistics, and performance metrics

• Tune Oracle database components

• Tune database resource consumption, including CPU, memory, disk I/O, and network

• Manage in-production tables and indexes for optimal performance

• Use advanced tools such as:

  • SQL Performance Analyzer

  • Database Replay

Each concept is followed by practical exercises, supported by video demonstrations and downloadable guide documents. You will learn how to predict potential performance issues, not just react to them.

This course focuses on methodical performance tuning, not random tips and tricks. By the end of the course, you will be able to analyze performance problems with confidence, understand why they occur, and propose effective tuning solutions.
