| Sumario: | The focus of Oracle SQL Performance Tuning for Developers LiveLessons is to illustrate coding techniques that ensure a consistent response time between instances and releases of the Oracle database. This course works closely with performance tuning of actual SQL statements. Description In this video training, Dan Hotka starts out with a complete overview of the Oracle architecture so students can get an understanding how their SQL and applications can take advantage of the computing environment. This course then goes in-depth on understanding and controlling the Explain Plan, which is how and in what order Oracle retrieves data. The discussion includes considerable detail, with SQL examples, on how the optimizers—both rule-based and cost-based, but mostly cost-based—make their decisions. Students will work with a variety of SQL statements, reviewing Explain Plans and making changes to make these SQL statements perform better. Lectures include index design, using hints and coding style to control the Explain Plans, and how to use useful tools such as index monitoring, SQL Trace, and the PL/SQL profiler. This LiveLessons course takes a close look at indexes: how Oracle selects them, why they are sometimes not used, and how to tell if indexes are being used. This course includes Oracle10g, Oracle11g, and Oracle12c SQL tuning topics. The source code repository for this LiveLesson can be downloaded from www.informit.com/title/9780134117027 .
