This session is a full on hacking session that complements Frits’ other session, About Multiblock Reads. It will cover the intricate task of how to perform advanced profiling of Oracle using function calls. Come learn how to research the Oracle database using function names on Linux X86_64. You will leave the session with valuable knowledge of the inner workings of not just the Oracle database, but any C program. This session will introduce you to how to setup and use your Linux environment for profiling. As there are no slides, you will find great value in the notes your take—so bring paper and pen!
