Last week I participated in Oracle’s Real World Performance event — four days of lectures, quizzes, live demos and hands-on exercises. It was quite interesting, even more so than I expected it to be.
Understandably, a lot of time was spent discussing the perils of row-by-row processing. After all, it was Real World Performance, so it was based on performance problems that the authors of the course faced most often. And many, if not most, performance problems in the real world come from poor coding habits, in particular, from OLTP or object-oriented mindset brought by inexperienced developers into DW world.
