A must for advanced tuning and trouble-shooting
Wait events are often the key to understanding 'what is going on' when Oracle performance problems occur during run time. This book does a great job giving an overview of the complex Oracle internals that underlie these wait events. Now, if you don't know what wait events are, this is not the book for you. There are a few criticisms of this book, but they ignore the fact that this book is the first substantial overview of this often nefarious subject. Many, including myself, had attemtped to piece together the internal workings of Oracle using Oracle internal documents, speaking with Oracle developers, empirical tests, etc. with limited success. This book was a welcome relief and quite an eye-opener.

WOW! Heady stuff. Read it twice.
I'll admit, this book made my head hurt the first time I read it, and I consider myself to be pretty well versed in Oracle. Steve does a fantastic job explaining some of the internal workings of the database. He dispells many of the "tuning" myths associated with locks and latches and touches on using Oracle's wait statistics, which has become a foundation for a new and better approach to tuning the database. If you are DBA that is interested at all in the internal workings of the database, or need a reference to help in your tuning efforts, get this book.
