This (relatively) thin book had been sitting on my desk unread, taunting me since it arrived this summer. Now the leaves have turned, the book has been read, and I can move it to my bookshelf as it certainly deserves a spot next to my collection of Steven Feuerstein's classic PL/SQL works. Let's start with what Oracle PL/SQL Performance Tuning Tips & Techniques is not. This book is not a step-by-step primer on how to tune PL/SQL. It does not provide a guide for analyzing trace output and diagnosing the cause of wait events in the database. Instead, authors Rosenblum and Dorsey start by describing the many vectors by which performance problems can arise in modern multi-tiered architectures. They then describe tools and techniques that can be applied to instrument code and measure performance. Once this groundwork has been laid, they proceed in a most interesting direction. Rather than chapter after chapter of tried-and-true techniques for making incremental improvements to performance based on the results of timed executions and traces, the reader instead finds, as the subtitle promises, "Best Practices for Improving Overall Speed, Reliability and Security". The authors are both Oracle ACEs with years of experience developing applications using a "thick database" paradigm. Most of the book describes the techniques that they have developed to allow the database to efficiently do the heavy lifting, minimizing the work that needs to be done by the application server or client. These techniques support the development of efficient, scalable applications, which do most of the work on the most powerful component of the multi-tier architecture, the database server. The book includes many techniques that I've used myself and quite a few that were new to me.
