Performance Toolkit

Summary

This chapter covered some of the tools that we will use throughout this book, mainly in our performance benchmark programs. Many of these tools involve concepts that are explained in the references provided where the tool was mentioned. Some of these tools are written using JDBC concepts, which are explained elsewhere in this book. I recommend revisiting the code for these utilities once you’ve grasped the underlying concepts from the later chapters.

In the next chapter, we’ll look at some of the fundamental concepts related to Oracle that every Oracle application programmer (including JDBC programmers) should be familiar with.
