Managing Cost-Based Optimizer Statistics on a PeopleSoft System - David Kurtz, Go-Faster Consultancy

All the database vendors give you general guidance on how to manage optimizer statistics on their database.  Some platform specific application vendors have very specific recommendations on managing statistics.  PeopleSoft really only handles statistics on some working storage tables.
This presentation will look at the problems on Oracle databases, but the general principles are applicable to all databases, and will discuss some specific tactics that have been developed for live systems.
