In the life of any active database a need will arise that will require either a table redefinition or to have shrinks run on the object. Which do you use? It depends on the task at hand and by being familiar with these tools a proper path can be used. The ability to shrink database…

Shrinking your database alters the free space available but not the high water mark. Come and learn how the DB Advisor can give you valuable information about the objects in your database and how to shrink them. This presentation uses real life examples without the use of OEM. Why use shrinks? When should shrinks be…

Virtualization brings well documented benefits, but many hidden risks. The operating system lacks visibility into the virtualization layer and conventional operating system level tools provide inaccurate metrics. In this session we will explore how to leverage Oracle Enterprise Manager to uncover performance bottlenecks due to virtualization.

This presentation is about how the Oracle database implements multiblock reads on Linux systems. Whilst this may look like a simple and easy to understand topic (the system fetches multiple blocks conforming db_file_multiblock_read_count blocks instead of one, right?), in reality it isn't. The description of the former line is mostly true for version 10 non-PQ…
