Performance Audit

During a performance audit, several aspects of the Oracle database are assessed, including:

Hardware Configuration:
The hardware components supporting the Oracle database, such as servers, storage systems, and network infrastructure, are examined to ensure they are properly configured and capable of delivering optimal performance.

Database Design:
The structure and design of the database, including tables, indexes, and data organization, are analyzed to identify any potential issues that could impact performance.

SQL Tuning:
The SQL queries executed on the database are reviewed and optimized to improve their efficiency and execution time. This involves analyzing query plans, index usage, join operations, and other factors that can impact query performance.

Resource Utilization:
The audit assesses how system resources like CPU, memory, and disk I/O are utilized by the database. It identifies any resource-intensive processes or configurations that may be causing performance degradation.

Performance Monitoring:
The database’s performance metrics and monitoring tools are reviewed to ensure they are capturing the necessary data and providing valuable insights. Recommendations may be made for implementing or fine-tuning monitoring mechanisms.
