<p>But keep in mind that I will use abstraction when details are not necessary. While useless details make great cocktail party conversation, they don't help much with production Oracle systems.
p><p>This book is for you, not me. I did not write this book to impress myself. My ego is secure. I wrote this book to help me do what I love doing, and that's teaching. Honestly, there is a financial component involved, but ask any author, and he will tell you the payoff is not in the book royalties. I hope you quickly realize I am trying to teach (with some entertainment mixed in), not preach, and give you clear evidence of the usefulness of the methods and techniques I recommend.
p><p>Most DBAs and developers do a lot of guessing in their performance work. This book demonstrates how to remove the guessing, which helps you develop truth-based confidence. That's immensely valuable!
