What is the right time to stop tuning an Oracle database?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

The right time to stop tuning an Oracle database is often determined by the point of diminishing returns - when the cost of further tuning (in terms of time, resources, or money) exceeds the performance benefits gained. This is often related to the budget allocated for performance tuning.

A (Correct): When the allocated budget for performance tuning has been exhausted, it may be time to stop tuning unless the benefits of further tuning justify requesting additional budget.

B (Incorrect): Eliminating all concurrency waits from the Top 10 is an unrealistic goal since some waits are inevitable and can occur due to application design, which might not be possible to eliminate completely.

C (Incorrect): The buffer cache and library cache hit ratio being above 95% does not necessarily indicate that the database is fully optimized. Hit ratios are not reliable indicators of database performance and should not be used as sole criteria to end tuning efforts.

D (Incorrect): Having I/O less than 10% of DB time is not a definitive indicator to stop tuning. It is essential to consider the overall performance goals and whether they have been met rather than focusing solely on I/O metrics.

I see your point, Darci. It's important to have clear criteria for when to stop tuning.

I personally think we should stop tuning when the buffer cache and library cache hit ratio is above 95%. That shows optimization.

That's a good point, Lindsay. Maybe we should consider that as a stopping point as well.

But what if there are still concurrency waits in the Top 10? Shouldn't we keep tuning until those are eliminated?

I agree with Yolando. We need to prioritize within the budget constraints.

I would say it's when the I/O is less than 10% of the DB time.

Yeah, no kidding. At the end of the day, I think it comes down to finding the right balance between performance, cost, and stakeholder expectations. And that's not always an easy thing to do.

Yeah, I agree. It really depends on the specific goals and requirements of the organization, right? I mean, some might be happy with a 95% hit ratio, while others might want to squeeze every last drop of performance out of the system.

This question is pretty tricky. I mean, how do you define the 'right' time to stop tuning? It's not like there's a one-size-fits-all answer, you know?
