Eye opener, one simple method
A well written book, easy to read. A simple solution to collecting all the session information you need for performance troubleshooting.

To date I have been looking for a single resource (book) to use for diagnosing performance issues. This is it! It doesn't matter if you are on Oracle 7 or 10g, this solution gathers the information you need with little overhead.

The book isn't selling third party products like many other books in its league.

Not finished the book yet but I already feel more confident in troubleshooting performance issues.
