Tuning Oracle Using An AWR Report

Laser-focused quick analysis setup for ANY AWR Report

"I want to thank Craig for teaching this AWR class... Man, I got on a P-1 call yesterday. Users have been complaining about latency for months on this database, and we have just been fumbling our way through it. I quickly brought up my OTBA template, ran an AWR, figured the big pile of time was on CPU, looked at the SQL ordered by CPU Time and found the culprits. I felt so empowered knowing full well we got the bad guy in the first place and took the focus away from the database and back on the app developers. So, thank you!"
