This is a great book on SQL tuning for Oracle. I have several years of experience yet I still have lot to learn, esp in SQL tuning. There are several books in the market which are a rehash of the manuals or just skim over this topic or too hard to follow. This book takes the basic topics related to SQL tuning and presents them in a logical and coherent manner. I learned a lot about reading the sql statements and the plans, tuning the SQLs, look for hot spots and apply a standard approach to tuning. The book lays the foundation to understand SQL, takes you through a series of journeys into the SQL world which is helpful to understand SQL tuning.Each chapter deals with specific topic. The first chapter provides a good set of basic building blocks on how to tune queries. Great ideas with the FRP method approach. After reading the first chapter I tuned a query with several underlying tables by selecting a 'driving table'.The second chapter explains cardinalities and why cardinalities are important and how the plans could go for a toss if cardinalities are off. I have read about the cardinalities in several other places on the internet, but the chapter explains the whole thing from the basics. A must read for any tuner. Chapter 3 elaborates how to choose indexes and deals with ACCESS, FILTER and post table filtering predicates.The fourth chapter is on joins. This is the best chapter of the book in my view. The chapter deals with the most commonly used join methods such as nested loops, sort merge, etc and goes on to explain in detail the mechanisms involved under the hood. It also talks about when each case would be a best fit and its limitations and the most common problems each join method faces.
