List,

When DBAs are put in charge of unknown applications not developed in house
or put in charge of third party COTS applications, how do we go about
learning the systems and tune such systems.  This is an open ended question,
but when I am asked to tune things, I am not sure how I would start without
knowing the processes and data structure.

Thanks.
