If it makes you feel any better, you are not in the boat alone. Everyone once in a while, we go through the ritual of identifying the top 10 worse SQL. Then we repeat the process of identifying the top 10 worse SQL. Notice I did not say anything about fixing, only identifying.

From: oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Sandra Becker Sent: Friday, July 02, 2010 9:18 AM To: david.robillard@xxxxxxxxx Cc: Martin Bach; oracle-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Monitoring software So what do you people do when you've provided either the information and/or tool for developers to see the performance of their code and they refuse to look at it and insist it is up to the DBAs to tune it and make it efficient? I also provide performance information to my VP on a weekly basis and all other high level execs on a quarterly basis but no one except my VP seems to take it seriously. That's the boat I'm in right now and it seems to have a really big hole that is leaking more day by day. -- Sandy Transzap, Inc.
