Hi Sriram
I haven't read Cary's book yet (it's in the mail;)). Just out of =
curiosity:
How is the poisson distribution applied there?=20
As I remember from school, it is commonly used to measure occurences of
events where you have to have a large sample size within which only =
very few
of the events you're looking for actually occur. Wasn't it developed by =
some
guy who tried to measure military accidents of some kind in the =
Prussian
army? That's pretty close to DBA work ;).

Betreff: Cary's Book and the Method-R
Hi Guru's,
=20
I read thro' Cary's book last weekend(thanks for the long
weekend!!)..The experience was..simply Great!!...I wish this book was
published a little earlier. As a person coming from science background, =
I
always thought that Oracle tuning should be approached in a scientific
method and after reading this book , I feel now that I was correct.
=20
It was nice to see a lot of scientific and statistic related stuff =
like
planks constant, poison distribution, queuing theory...I wish I had
remembered all these ;-)...I had to dig through my college books from =
the
attic to understand the role of statistics behind Oracle tuning..
=20
Fellow Listers, if you have not read thro Cary's work...believe =
me...you
have missed something spectacular
=20
Cary,
=20
Well done EXCELLENT Job...!!
=20
Best Regards
