Performance Planning


Before starting on the instance or SQL tuning sections of this guide, make sure you


have read Part II, "Performance Planning". Based on years of designing and


performance experience, Oracle has designed a performance methodology. This brief


section explains clear and simple activities that can dramatically improve system


performance. It discusses the following topics:


■ Understanding Investment Options


■ Understanding Scalability


■ System Architecture


■ Application Design Principles


■ Workload Testing, Modeling, and Implementation


■ Deploying New Applications

Instance Tuning


Part III, "Optimizing Instance Performance" of this guide discusses the factors


involved in the tuning and optimizing of an Oracle database instance.


When considering instance tuning, care must be taken in the initial design of the


database system to avoid bottlenecks that could lead to performance problems. In


addition, you need to consider:


■ Allocating memory to database structures


■ Determining I/O requirements of different parts of the database
■ Tuning the operating system for optimal performance of the database
After the database instance has been installed and configured, you need to monitor the
database as it is running to check for performance-related problems.
