I have written about Oracle database tuning in the past. How about we see how other players conquer this issue. Let us assume that we have Microsoft technologies on the front and back end. Microsoft provides tier interaction profiling (TIP) to sort out performance issue.TIP adds code to profile your application. It records timing information. The actions timed are all those that result in a database hit. These include SQL, ODBC, and OLE DB. Those are all Microsoft database access technologies. Developers use frameworks that often abstract them from actual database code. TIP helps get the developer back in touch with the actual database interaction.
