Correct Answer: The following are the areas of concern for tuning: - Memory Usage - Data Storage - Data Manipulation - Physical Storage - Logic Storage - Network Traffic Tuning Memory Usage: In Oracle 10g, we can use the Automatic Workload Repository (AWR) toolset to gather and manage statistical data but in case of Oracle 11g, we can use new initialization parameters such as MEMORY_TARGET to further control the overall memory used by Oracle It helps us to tune the database automatically when we don’t have time to read the AWR report Tuning Data Manipulation: There are two ways to tune Data manipulation in Oracle one way is through Conventional Path mode and second is Direct Path mode Tuning Physical Storage: We need to tune the physical storage because it limits the disk in database This can be done by: Distributing I/O, Striping and Mirroring
