Oak Table Net New Website

There's a new website for the OakTable.net, a group of mysterious Oracle performance gurus who meet secretly at an oaken table in Denmark by the light of the moon (well, not secretly, really, also not usually soberly; and they don't actually wait for the moon to appear to pop open a beer, but they're still mysterious for all that). Go have a look. These folks are the best and brightest in Oracle performance.

Also in the realm of performance, and of Oak Table members, is this blog entry from Tanel Poder on cursor: pin S waits, sporadic CPU spikes and systematic troubleshooting. Some esoteric and extremely useful things for those working with Oracle on Unix systems. But some of the most valuable advice in this posting on specifics relates to the general approach to performance, for instance tailoring the time of activity you measure to the event, not just, for instance, taking a one hour chunk of AWR as the gold standard.
