Here’s a quotation that I’ve just read and wanted to share. It is all part of a BAAG approach to troubleshooting problems, performance in particular.
From Greg Rahn (web|twitter) on oracle-l:
There are always exceptions, but exceptions can be justified and supported with data. Just beware of the the silver bullet syndrome…
The unfortunate part [...] is that rarely anyone goes back and does the root cause analysis. It tends to fall into the bucket of “problem…solved”.
