ASH is fascinating from both an architectural perspective and a usefulness perspective. Many Oracle internals topics are interesting, but few have the potential to be useful in our firefighting efforts. If you have the license to query from the ASH view, I think you'll find using ASH in your OraPub 3-circle analysis extremely beneficial.

This brings us to the end of a wide variety of performance diagnosis topics. Most people in IT think Oracle performance optimization is centered on superior Oracle internals knowledge. I disagree. I believe those who use a solid method, perform a spot-on diagnosis, and then appropriately apply Oracle internals are less likely to guess and much more likely to be successful performance firefighters.

We have come to the end of the performance diagnosis and methods chapters. Now it's finally time to begin digging deep into Oracle internals!
