Summary :
The SAP note delves into Oracle wait events and their impact on database performance, revealing that they constitute vital metrics for diagnosing and tuning issues. It discusses various types of wait events, how they can be accessed using Oracle V$ views, such as V$SYSTEM_EVENT and V$SESSION_WAIT, and the relevance of wait events to SAP systems, differentiating between Oracle-defined and SAP-specific idle events. Optimization tactics include querying and analyzing these events to pinpoint inefficiencies. Emphasized is the necessity to understand these waiting times as they often compose a significant part of the database's response time. It further lists queries to access historical and current wait event data, aiding in proactive system management and optimization.
