Solving performance-related problems requires an understanding of the measurement techniques. The accuracy of measurements is an important factor in all types of research. However, there are no 100-percent accurate measurements in Nature; there are always some distortions in the measurements. How can a method be accepted as an accurate method? The answer depends on the impact of the measurement errors.
The goal of this article is to adapt microstate accounting, which is a more accurate measurement technique provided by OS vendors, to database management systems.
Microstate Response-time Performance Profiling (MRRP) for Oracle is not a new performance modeling technique, but it is a new performance profiling technique for Oracle. It adapts microstate accounting to Oracle by using universal response time performance modeling.
