Our approach: The ITTS Method

At The Academy, we take a systematic and results-driven approach to Oracle database tuning using the ITTS Method (Identify, Tune, Test, Solve). This proven framework is designed to help database professionals cut through complexity and focus on the optimizations that truly matter.

• Identify – The first step in tuning is knowing where the problem lies. We teach you how to analyze performance bottlenecks, pinpoint inefficient SQL, and assess key database and OS-level metrics. Our step-by-step process ensures that you don’t waste time chasing the wrong issues.

• Tune – Once the root cause is identified, you’ll learn how to apply precise tuning techniques. From adjusting system configurations and optimizing redo log sizes to addressing ITL waits and database statistics, we focus on changes that deliver maximum performance gains with minimal risk.

• Test – Tuning without validation is guesswork. We emphasize structured testing strategies to measure performance impact, ensuring that your changes lead to tangible improvements.

• Solve – Finally, we go beyond simple fixes to implement long-term solutions that prevent recurring performance issues. By leveraging strategic patching, indexing, and advanced tuning methodologies, we help you build a database environment that runs at peak efficiency.
