Kevin The two sources I'm aware of, aside from the Oracle documentation, are the series of Oracle Magazine articles and Don Burleson's book Oracle9i High-Performance Tuning with STATSPACK. Also, be aware of the limitation of STATSPACK. Statistics are aggregated in two dimensions - by time (the interval you take snapshots) and by all processes on the system. Cary Millsap does a great job of pointing out the limitations of methods that perform these aggregations. My personal analogy is: "You can drown in a river that is only an average of three feet deep". Dennis Williams DBA Lifetouch, Inc. "We all want progress, but if you're on the wrong road, progress means doing an about-turn and walking back to the right road; in that case, the man who turns back soonest is the most progressive." -- C.S.

I just set it up for the first time and could use any 'direction' on what is the best documentation set for it.
