* Second, even with an amazing diagnosis, to solve John's problem, the doctor must have a deep understanding of the human body and specifically in this case, the elbow. This is just like a performance specialist knowing Oracle internals. Knowing Oracle is suffering from intense library cache contention is good, but to solve the problem, you must understand Oracle internals enough to influence the situation to reduce the contention.

* Finally, the doctor has been practicing11 for a number of years. This adds confidence and a broader experience.

To summarize, to become a stellar Oracle performance firefighter, you must know how to listen to Oracle, you must know what Oracle is telling you, you must know Oracle internals, and you need experience. This book will prepare you for all but the experience aspect. But through the examples, exercises, and case studies, I'll try to jump-start your experience quotient.
