About

My name is Greg Rahn and I am a database performance engineer in the Real-World Performance group at Oracle Corporation. I joined the Real-World Performance group in 2004 and have been working with Oracle databases since 1997. As the name might suggest, the Real-World Performance group deals with database performance and scalability issues that come from the real world - the customer’s world. My goal with this blog is to communicate how I have worked through some of the performance challenges that I’ve encountered as well as discuss performance and scalability topics that may benefit others in the Oracle user community.
