The database will write the output of your trace to the UDUMP, user dump, destination or in the trace directory of your database diagnostic section on the database server, depending on your database version.

Bloom Filters, Hierarchical Profiling, Synopses & One pass distinct sampling, jumping the GAPP … – feast for DBAs (considered harmful..)
It’s Monday night and a select company of DBAs and Database developers have gathered at AMIS HQ in Nieuwegein for the ‘Looking Back at Hotsos 2009′ session.
