PeopleSoft for the Oracle DBA
l
e
Dear Reader,
S
This book is a survival guide for the Oracle DBA who is responsible for the config-
uration, administration, and performance of a PeopleSoft system. The database o
is at the core of any such system, but the DBA must also understand how the
PeopleSoft application is using the database and how other parts of the f PeopleSoft
PeopleSoft architecture interact with the database. Therefore, this book t
• Demonstrates how to effectively implement common Oracle database
f
administration techniques and strategies (indexing, DDL, managing o
tablespaces, and so on) specifically for a PeopleSoft system, using the r
PeopleSoft toolset
• Shows how to analyze application activity and obtain the critical data that t Oracle DBA
h
will allow you to track down the causes of poor performance
e
• Provides essential details on the configuration and tuning of the Tuxedo for the
Application Server and how it works with the database
O
This book is a reflection of what I have been doing most days for many years:
RELATED TITLES helping customers get sufficient performance out of their PeopleSoft business r
systems. It provides the answers to the questions that I am still repeatedly

asked by DBAs, developers, and end users about what is going on inside these

systems, for example: c

• Who is running this piece of SQL, where does it come from, and what can
I do about it? D

FOR PROFESSIONALS Ultimately, I hope this book will demonstrate how an Oracle DBA can work

effectively withPeopleSoft, instead of continually fighting against it.
