The following is a summary of steps that you can undertake to tune Oracle by using Spotlight on Oracle.
Spotlight on Oracle supports an approach to Oracle performance tuning that could be described as "tuning by bottleneck". Spotlight on Oracle alerts you if any component of the Oracle architecture is forming a bottleneck. Additionally, Spotlight on Oracle provides tools that allow you to identify and rectify any inefficiency in your database’s configuration.
In general, you tune your Oracle instance by reiteratively identifying bottlenecks, contention, and critical resources, and by using the advice in this section to remove the bottleneck or contention or improve the performance of the resource.
Notes:
Collect and analyze performance metrics in order to predict the future behavior of the Oracle database.

Notes:
Diagnostic Category | Description |
---|---|
SQL Performance |
Collect and analyze performance metrics for SQL statements as they are executed on the database instance. When enough performance data is collected, Spotlight may be able to predict the future performance for individual SQL statements on that database. These predictions can be used to identify SQL statements whose performance may not scale adequately as data volumes and SQL execution rates increase. Spotlight will refer to these SQL statements as degrading SQL. |
Impending Bottlenecks - Timed Statistics |
Note: Available for Oracle 10.2 and later. Collect and analyze waiting events as they occur on the database. When enough performance data is collected, Spotlight may be able to predict potential bottlenecks in the system as they affect database throughput and response time. |
Performance Modeling |
Note: Available for Oracle 10.2 and later. Collect and analyze statistics on the performance of the database during periods of high activity. When enough performance data is collected, Spotlight may be able to:

Tool | Description |
---|---|
Tools | Explain Plan | The Explain Plan allows you to determine the execution plan that Oracle applies to a particular SQL statement. Spotlight on Oracle allows you to view graphical representations of the execution plan for SQL statements being executed by a user, or for those identified by the SQL & Application Workload drilldown. |
Tools | SQL Optimizer (SQL Tuning) | SQL Optimizer (if installed) provides context-sensitive tuning advice for SQL statements based on the Oracle execution plan and the database structure. You must have DBA privileges for the database you are diagnosing. |
Tools | Space Manager |
Space Manager (if installed) provides a comprehensive solution for space management and reorganization. Space Manager offers preventive maintenance, problem detection and resolution, and capacity planning across any number of databases. |
You can monitor Oracle and Oracle RAC connections on your favorite mobile device using Spotlight Essentials.
Mobile Monitoring is able to raise the following alarms. These alarms are not configurable.
