Well, it is my blog after all!  I’ll be delivering another installment of my Modern Platform Topics for Modern DBAs track. This session will show how to use SLOB to study how CPU-intensive your Oracle OLTP-related *waits* are. I’ll also be showing CPU costs associated with key DW/BI/Analytics processing “underpinnings” like scan, filtration and projection on modern 2-socket servers running Linux and Oracle Database 12c. Please join us on Monday October 26 at 3PM as per the Oaktable World schedule (see below or follow the links).
