New Blog Telling the Oracle Performance Story
Oracle Performance Storyteller, that’s the short description of Dion Cho’s blog. His blog contains many useful and interesting posts about Oracle performance diagnosis and optimization.
The blog’s tag cloud includes tags such as dbms_xplan, sql trace, sql profile and stored outline all in big font.
Thanks Coskan for bringing Dion’s blog to my attention. I have added it to OraNA.info.
By the way, I am constantly adding new blogs to OraNA.info. If you want to know what blogs I have added, just follow orana_updates.

If you work with Oracle databases you probably know about Morgan’s Library, Daniel Morgan‘s creation. He has built an extensive resource for Oracle DBAs and Developers.
Dan recently pinged me to let me know that his library has moved from psoug.org to morganslibrary.org and that he is no longer associated with PSOUG.
So, Morgan’s Library lives on!
