Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: advice
-Have them run a stress test and monitor on a non-productional system with sufficient volume of data : CPU, memory, disk utilization. (show newbie as you do this)
-Look at how the database was put together for maintainability - best practices, etc..
-Look at some of the SQL related to their main processes
-If they have a new DBA then have them get a good monitoring tool for real-time performance diagnostics as well as the scripts that provides some actually helpful guidance - like Quest Spotlight. Introduce them to a couple of good websites like oraperf...
-Suggest the hotsos class for performance issues and IOUG for a good place for a newbie to get up to speed in a shorter time without lots of traveling.

List,
I have to be involved in a conference call this afternoon concerning a client. They want advice on how to "tune" their Oracle database. It is a claims/transaction processing system. It is 8i on Sun 8. The dba on their system has only 6 months experience and no training. What advice can I give them? They need a baseline to build from. I will suggest statspack, tuning scripts, and run these over time. What else can I suggest to help them collect data that will be informative?
thanks,
David Ehresmann.
