Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Database performance monitoring tool for developers.
I will go along with that.
Whole heartedly in fact
But with a disclaimer.
They (the users with access to the tools) have to be willing to learn the
tool, and what the results MEAN. If they are willing to learn (really
learn, not just hear part then think they know all there is to know about
tuning code), I will give them access to the tools in a min.
We have one developer who I trust implicitly. She wants to learn, tries to use good coding standards and tries to write the tightest code possible. I would give her DBA privs on the development instance in a heartbeat, and any tool at my disposal to help her do her job.
BUT... When you deal with parts of the user base (some of the developers) that think it is really cool to have a tool that has a really neat button that does everything for them, so they don't have to worry about the details of their code (SQL Navigator is our company's code generator of choice... not toad, that would be silly), then you have to deal with them having been 'educated' about tuning and what they should tell the DBAs to do to the system to tune it... and then they get an ORA-4030 error and decide that there needs to be a UNIX Kernel change because that will make their code run... you find out that a little bit of knowledge is a truly horrible thing.

If the developer is database-aware enough to want to use something like Spotlight, or any tool that does not degrade performance, I'll give it to them if I can.
