No, no, no … not *that* JB!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
As regular readers will know, the JB who tends to get mentioned most often around these parts is John Beresniewicz who, up until recently, worked at Oracle on all the cool OEM Performance Pages and related instrumentation (alongside others, of course, such as Graham Wood, Uri Shaft, Kyle Hailey and probably a cast of thousands for all I know). Over recent years, JB has become a friend and has always posted deeply insightful comments whenever I\u2019ve blogged about DB Time, Top Activity, Load Maps, ASH Analytics or Adaptive Thresholds. There can be few people who understand those subjects as well and he also has a great way of communicating how such powerful tools can be used to actually make things a lot simpler. (Click On The Big Stuff!, to pick one example) There can be a lot of unexpected complexity behind simplicity, believe me 😉<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
So when the opportunity comes to learn from the best, I feel it\u2019s only right I share it. The ASH Architecture and Advanced Usage presentation is a collective effort between Graham Wood, Uri Shaft and JB that has been refined over a number of years. This is the version that JB and Graham delivered at the RMOUG Training Days 2014<\/a>. It\u2019s excellent stuff from some true Oracle Performance experts.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
JB might try to play the grumpiest man in California at times but, after all the work he has contributed to improving the performance analysis tools available to jobbing DBAs, I for one hope he sticks around on this Oracle Performance stuff and isn’t distracted by Big Data or Anything-as-a-Service because he\u2019d be too much of a loss (although I wouldn’t have to listen to his whining so much, so maybe every cloud etc …. 😉)<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Anyway \u2013 check out the presentation. It\u2019s well worth your time. Better still, give that man a job so he doesn’t have too much time on his hands and be reduced to starting to use Social Media!<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
