The star of today’s video is my sister-in-law Maria Colgan, otherwise know as SQLMaria. You may know her by her former names of “the in-memory lady” and “the optimizer lady”.

It’s a follow-on to last week’s video.

Today’s video is a cut down of this article.

Video : Resource Manager : Runaway Query Management

In today’s video we give a quick demonstration of using Resource Manager to cancel a long running SQL statement.

This video is based on a series of articles from Oracle 8i to the present day. There is an example here.

Although there are aspects of it throughout most of the Resource Manager articles on the website.

The horror show was brought to you by Jeff Smith. Notice his proximity to assorted torture devices he probably describes as “tools” when questioned by the authorities.

Cheers
