Optimizing Oracle Performance - by Cary V. Millsap, Jeff Holt (Contributor)
Oracle performance analysts are always looking for ways to optimize the one thing database users care most about: response time. System performance inefficiencies commonly go undetected for months or even years even under intense scrutiny because traditional Oracle performance analysis methods and tools are unreliable.
Optimizing Oracle Performance dispenses with database-centric metrics and instead shows how to use Oracle's response time statistics to diagnose performance problems in an Oracle application system. Former VP of Oracle's System Performance Group, Cary Millsap, clearly shows how eliminating requests for unneeded work improves performance dramatically. He also shows how the mathematical discipline of queueing theory can be combined with response time metrics to accurately predict the impact of system changes and upgrades. This is the timesaving method Oracle DBAs and developers have been waiting for.

Oracle SQL Tuning Pocket Reference - by Mark Gurry
One of the most important challenges faced by Oracle database administrators and Oracle developers is the need to tune SQL statements so that they execute efficiently. Poorly tuned SQL statements are one of the leading causes of substandard database performance and poor response time. SQL statements that perform poorly result in frustration for users, and can even prevent a company from serving its customers in a timely manner.
In this book, Mark Gurry shares his in-depth knowledge of Oracle's SQL statement optimizers. Mark's knowledge is the result of many hard-fought tuning battles during his many years of providing Oracle tuning services to clients. Mark provides insights into the workings of the rule-based optimizer that go well beyond what the rules tell you. Mark also provides solutions to many common problems that occur with both the rule-based and cost-based optimizers.

Softwar - by Matthew Symonds (Author), Larry Ellison (Contributor)
An Intimate Portrait of Larry Ellison and Oracle.
Softwar is a biography of Larry Ellison and his company, Oracle. As such, it's simultaneously a portrait of a clever and driven man, a case study of a successful software development company, and a tableau of the commercial software industry from its beginnings, through the dot-com craze, and into the present era. Matthew Symonds, who began this project while working as the editor of the excellent technology section of the Economist, has done a great job with all three elements of his project, thanks in no small part to the tremendous access he was given and to his close collaboration with Ellison.

The Art and Science of Oracle Performance Tuning - by Christopher Lawson
Complete and approachable guide to tuning best practice.
For novice to intermediate Oracle DBAs and developers.
Solving or planning for performance issues is a core part of the database professional's toolkit. The Oracle database is very flexible, making it suitable for a wide range of applications. Consequently, it is highly tunable, presenting a bewildering set of choices to the inexperienced. Tuning Oracle is as much about approach as about understanding the technology. It is more than tweaking parameters, or following a set prescription ? it involves matching application-specific knowledge with what's happening inside the database.
Based on the author's long experience working with Oracle, the book uses a five-step model to help identify and isolate the cause of non-performance. This book shows you how to approach problems, get the information you need from Oracle, and follow the process through to success.
