As I think someone else noted, Heisenberg's uncertainty principle
related to the location of quantum particles at a specific point in
time. Your participant was thinking of Schroedinger's cat. Anyway, his
point is correct to a certain extent. You need to choose monitoring
tools that will have minimal effect on the system being monitored.
Oracle has a fairly extensive suite of tools for monitoring performance
included in the software from about 8i on up, and they are pretty good
about keeping the impact small.

Subject: Heisenberg and measurement intrusion....
I'm on an Oracle performance project and a project participant made a
statement regarding measurement intrusion.
Is the statement below accurate?
"So the Heisenberg uncertainty principle mandates we run without
monitoring
as a baseline."
I responded with a wikipedia link which I'll send later, but I'd like to
get
opinions first. :)
Regards,
Ted
