Module 13 is divided into two sections: tuning an instance and tuning an application. Tuning the instance involves taking steps to ensure that system resources such as memory, CPU and I/O are used efficiently. Tuning an application starts with the design and architecture of the application and involves tuning database operations and access paths.
