Hi all,
Now that we are mentioning names, please look at the following info from
Cary Millsap's site - part of the acknowledgements from the 'Why a 99%+
Database Buffer Cache Hit Ratio is Not Ok' paper:
Science World has been made possible by Juan Loaiza at Oracle Corporation,
who created the idea to instrument the
Oracle kernel with event-based performance diagnostic data. Anjo Kolk, with
his famous "YAPP paper" [Kolk et al.
1999], was the first to write about how to apply those diagnostic data to
the task of optimizing an Oracle system. We
also owe a debt of thanks to Sameer Patkar and Roderick Ma�alac, who
encouraged Anjo to write about the subject;
and Shari Yamaguchi and Jim Viscusi, who helped him do it. Thanks go to my
dear friend Mogens N�rgaard of
Miracle A/S, who to the best of my knowledge was the first man on Earth to
force his entire staff to use only the
Oracle wait interface to optimize Oracle systems. Without the insight of
these gentlemen, we'd probably all still be
spending 70 hours a week using ratio-based checklists to tune our Oracle
systems.
In brief: Juan Loaiza started it all, Anjo Kolk wrote about it with help
from others, Mogens N�rgaard implemented it.
