Course Description

Good SQL Developers are in high demand and demand 100k+ salary in the IT industry.

SQL performance tuning is an art to master - for all of us!!!

Many SQL Developers have tried to understand why a particualr SQL was running slow - including me - but have failed over and over again because we never tried to understand how SQL works? We were thinking it is database administrators Job!!!!

If we have to advance in our career and earn a good salary, we need these SQL tuning skills.

We know how it feels if someone talks about SQL Tuning and I dont want you to feel the same.

I took baby steps in introducing you to the optimizer and helping you write an effecient SQL.

This course takes a systematic approach to planning, analyzing, debugging and troubleshooting common query-related performance problems and will provide you with the skills necessary to write scalable, high performance SQL.

The SQL tuning methodology I used:

  • Identify a problem SQL statement
  • Determine how Oracle is executing SQL statement and why Oracle chose that way.
  • Investigate whether alternative executon plans would be better.
  • Update the SQL statement to push Oracle towards the better plan.


Trust me, I will catch your hand and take you step by step!!!

See you inside,

Amarnath Panyam

I got a good knowledge on performance tuning part with this course. This is best one. I will recommend it to my friends. This gives you techniques needs to be use by Developer as well as DBA end for better performance. Only thing I feel is in the last few topics, Demo part was missing or not explained that good because I am having few doubts.

Good but if u share the documents that should be helpful

The course mainly focuses on Oracle SQL and not general SQL language. This will help to only those who are using Oracle as database. I was expecting a more generic course which can suit any SQL irrespective of the database.

Explanation was Good to the Topics that are covered but expected Explanation on Execution Plans for Mutiple Datas pulled through Complex views. Tuning of views, Triggers, Materialized views , plsql code was also expected.

Highly satisfied. The courses taught by Instructor Amarnath Reddy are easy to grasp, in-depth, relate to real world. It really aims at enhancing the knowledge level of the students. I would love to see more from the same instructor. A Big THANK YOU to Amarnath Reddy.

The course covered most of the topics. However, the explanations aren't quite enough. For ex: From the course, we know when to use Bitmap Index, but we don't know why we prefer Bitmap over B-Tree index. Also, there are some things that are missing in this course. For ex: From the course, we know how to assign values to each partition in a list partitioning, but we don't know what happens if we get a new value that we didn't specify in the definition.

Basics are covered really well.But I feel,When it comes to sql tuning the level of this course has to be Basic instead of Intermediate,so that expectations are set right. Explanation of little more complex explain plans with more than 5 tables would have been useful.

Many 'SQL Tuning' techniques discussed with good learning content. After learning this coursework, i am confident that i can write an effective SQL. Thanks a lot amarnath reddy for this brilliant coursework. I learned a lot from this. Guys, also please check on his other courses 'Oracle SQL : Step by Step SQL' and 'PL/SQL by example'.

This course is a good abstract of SQL Tuning guides. Its a powerful kick start towards learning and good understanding about SQL Tuning. If few topics like SPM, Index maintenance can be covered then the 5 stars in rating will also start glittering. Thank you Ammarnath.

Lessons are informative. I can feel that Amarnath Panyam, the instructor, indulges in his working. Learning with the one quickly responds to your discussion is better than with the one leaves their course and learners behind for decade.

Yes till now I'm able to understand the things my Lecturer is trying to make me understand by nice simple examples.

The course has Good Content and the instructor explanation with regards to content shows how experienced he is .
It is very good course for those who want to start learning SQL TUNING.
