QUESTION POSED ON: 27 May 2004
Are there differences when tuning a new database (just installed/upgraded) compared to an existing database? Should I approach tuning differently in one case?

>
EXPERT RESPONSE
It's always best to seek performance improvements by analyzing the application's actions and making changes according to your observations rather than attempting to "tune" the database as a whole. Having said that, however, many database and instance parameters do have a noticeable effect on performance; pay particular attention to such settings as the database cache size, shared pool size, PGA aggregate target, and session_cached_cursors as you run applications for the first time, and adjust them as necessary.
