New blog from John Beresniewicz, Graham Wood and I dedicated to ASH or Active Session History. Included on the blog are queries on ASH to give Overview of database performance Aggregations of top sql, session, package, procedure Drilldowns into information on buffer busy waits, IO, Locks etc as well as tools to simulate ASH ( a licensed option on 10g) on any version of Oracle from v7 on up graphically monitor ASH ( like OEM 10g, another licensed option) via 10g ASH or simulated ASH (S-ASH) The idea of the blog is a to create a place to exchange ideas on how to best harness this new powerful, multidimensional datasource for performance monitoring and tuning.
