We develop technologies in Oracle Database to automatically speed up execution time of a SQL and to self-diagnose performance bottlenecks in slow-running systems (even high-powered clustered database environments). We cover cross-tier performance diagnostics, automated self-tuning for emergency situations, and building data interfaces for innovative user interfaces (UIs) to empower DBAs to navigate performance data captured in the database.
