A week of sampling, then a second week to measure the changes

Pinpoint your Oracle database's bottlenecks.

We sample a week of load and your heaviest SQL, then send a document of suggested changes.
After your team has tested and applied them, a second week of sampling shows what each change did.

How it works

Four steps

Step 1, one week

Sample the load

A read-only collector samples the load for a week, including your heaviest SQL and its execution plans.

Step 2

Find the causes

We rank what costs the most time and work out a suggested change for each.

Step 3

Get the suggestions

Indexes, statistics, SQL rewrites and settings, in a document you can copy from, each with its reason.

Step 4, after your team applies them

Measure the change

A second week of sampling, compared with the first, shows what each change did.

What you get

  • Your heaviest SQL, ranked by the time it uses, with its execution plans
  • Suggested changes: indexes, statistics, SQL rewrites and database settings
  • The statements for each change, ready to test, with the reason for it
  • A before-and-after comparison, from the same readings taken twice

What stays with your team

  • Testing every change on a non-production copy first
  • Applying the changes in production
  • Changes to application code that a rewrite needs
  • Hardware and storage decisions: we report what the sampling shows
Test before productionTest every suggestion on a non-production copy first.
We make no changes on production.
No Diagnostics or Tuning Pack neededThe collector reads only V$ views that every Oracle licence includes.
It does not use AWR, ASH or the SQL Tuning Advisor.

Questions

Before you ask

Do we need the Diagnostics or Tuning Pack?No.
The readings come from views every Oracle licence includes, such as V$SQLSTATS.
Will the sampling slow the database down?It is a few light queries on a schedule, run as a read-only user.
Who applies the changes?Your team, after testing them, in your own change window.
What if the gain is small?The before-and-after numbers show it, change by change, and you decide which to keep.
