Does anyone follow Dan Tow's methods from "SQL Tuning" and/or use Visual
SQL Tuning in DB Optimizer?
Dan's method is super insightful but it's a lot of work That's why I had
the DB Optimizer group at Embarcadero invest so much time into automating
Dan's method with "Visual SQL Tuning" so it would do much of the hard work
for the user.
If any one is interested, it looks like the black Friday sale on DB
Optimizer for 50% off is still available today:
DB Optimizer for Oracle available today (black Friday) at 50% off for $357
with discount code QUACKFRIDAY50 https://www.idera.com/buynow/onlinestore
I just bought myself to have a copy just in case I need it. Not doing much
SQL tuning these days, but it's cool to have when needed.
VST is the unique feature to DB Optimizer bit it also does it's own ASH
sampling and works optionally on SQL Server, Sybase and DB2
