From the very beginning, working with Method-R was an absolute pleasure. ...The code was excellent: well written, modular and reusable where appropriate, and it performed exceptionally well. Of course, there are detailed exception messages to capture any possible errors, and I still haven’t encountered an uncaptured error in testing. The code is also instrumented, providing better visibility of active processes and allowing trace files to be captured easily when needed. Method-R exceeded requirements and expectations in their delivered code, and the difference between the code as it existed a year ago and as it exists today is almost unbelievable.

I have used the Profiler software since 2002 to solve numerous elusive performance problems. It is the best Oracle performance diagnostic tool I have ever used.

Within one minute of installation the Method R Profiler exceeded all expectations. We went live with a new warehouse management system this Friday because all of the tuning was done ahead of time. The Profiler pointed out all of the application inefficiencies which we turned over to the vendor. They were able to fix the ones with the largest impact on the online response times. That gave our management the confidence they needed to make the Go/No-Go decision. Until I got the Profiler we were looking at postponing it until next quarter. I pity the poor souls that have to optimize in mere mortal ways.

The C. J. Date course produced by Method R was the best investment in my professional career.

The first time I used it, the Profiler helped me reduce the run time of one query from 6½ hours to less than 11 minutes.

Every now and then even the best practitioners must take a step back to re-ground themselves in the fundamentals of the trade. The "blocking and tackling." Chris Date does a great job lecturing about logic and set theory—the blocking and tackling of the relational model. No one is more qualified to show us where the tools of our trade have munged the model. And his presentation style makes it a pleasure to learn.

The Profiler (combined with Method-R) has enabled me to resolve performance problems that could not have been resolved in any way other than by pure luck. The return of the modest investment cannot be beat. I saved a failing project as soon as I got it. I highly recommend it over the so-called “free” stuff.
