Optimising Oracle - Foundations Day 1: The first day is mainly about how the Cost Based Optimizer does it's arithmetic and how you can compare your data with the optimizer's "picture" of your data. The last session of the day will be about finding and interpreting execution plans. Day 2: We start with a session on the problems that we can run into when looking for, or interpreting, execution plans, followed by some time looking at indexing strategies, the way Oracle can use indexes, and some common misunderstandings about the strengths and weaknesses of Oracle's B*Tree implementation. We end the day by revisiting the optimizer to ask (and answer) the question - how do we make sure the optimizer gets a good picture of what our data looks like. Please sign up early. Thanks, Joe
