The importance of being tuned
According to Oracle's own documentation,
performance gains of over 100% are achievable with
systematic performance tuning. Carib Data Limited
can provide those performance gains without
disrupting your business.
We use our own custom-written performance
monitoring tools along with years of open systems
and Oracle experience to track down bottlenecks and
inefficient configurations and provide immediate
solutions so you get the most out of your system.
When to tune
Tinkering is not tuning. Tuning starts long
before the system goes live, long before the
help-desk is deluged with calls an long before the
DBA decides to go contracting.
Good tuning starts with good design and the
proper time to get a Carib Data Limited tuning
expert involved is at the design stage. A poor
design can never be tuned to be a good performer.
Tuning continues through development where some
of the most startling performance gains can be
achieved. An expert SQL review may save not just
tens of thousands in hardware costs but may save
the entire development from failure.
Tuning continues throughout implementation and
production. Every system has changing demands
placed on it and only continuous tuning can keep it
performing.
Call
us early and often, our fees are nothing
compared to the support costs saved.

What to tune
SQL tuning pays off more than any other effort,
but in a high-demand system the operating system
may be blocking all your other tuning efforts.
Because Carib Data Limited specialises in Oracle
on UNIX we understand better than most the synergy
between the operating system and Oracle. Our
specialists can ensure that your expensive server
hardware is being used for your vital database.
Oracle tuning itself is not a black art but then
neither is surgery. Experience is the only way to
effectively tune an Oracle database and experience
is available from Carib Data Limited.
