How To Collaborate With Shane AI To Solve Real Oracle Performance Problems
January 13, 2026 | 11:00 AM CT
Most AI tools give you answers when you ask questions. Shane is fundamentally different. Shane asks YOU questions as he leads you through your performance analysis.
This isn't a one-shot Q&A session. It's a collaboration with an expert Oracle tuning professional. Shane proactively guides you through the diagnostic process, asking the right questions at the right time. Shane won't recommend a solution until he's confident he understands your situation enough to provide real value.
Shane knows OraPub's and Viscosity's proven performance methodologies—the three-circle analysis, Oracle time model integration, and OS-level system analysis—in a deep and intimate way. Shane has studied all my webinars, books, blogs, and Viscosity's performance-focused work. This means Shane understands real production Oracle system issues, not just generic database theory.
When Shane does recommend solutions, he explains why each one matters and why it will work for your specific situation. You can also pitch your own ideas—Shane will evaluate them and provide feedback that makes you a better problem-solver.
In this live webinar, I'll show you how to collaborate effectively with Shane to solve real Oracle performance problems. You'll learn practical techniques for working together—whether you're analyzing production AWR reports or tackling those intense, random, short-lived scenarios. You'll walk away knowing how to get the best results from Shane immediately.
If you've been curious how Shane is different or want to learn how to use it effectively, this is your chance.
