Best Practices
Pro-Active Problem Avoidance and Diagnostic Collection
Although some problems may be unforeseen, in many cases problems may be avoidable if signs are detected early enough. Additionally, if an issue does occur, it is no use collecting information about that issue after the event. For information on suggested preparations to avoid issues and in case diagnostics are required, see:
Document 1482811.1 Best Practices: Proactively Avoiding Database and Query Performance Issues
Document 1477599.1 Best Practices Around Data Collection For Performance Issues
Performance Service Request Diagnostic Collection (SRDC) documents
Service Request Data Collection (SRDC) documents have been specially designed to provide the reader with the necessary instructions to provide a step by step guide to collecting information for a various common Database Performance Issues.

Configuration Parameters
Database parameters are designed so that the default is appropriate for the majority of cases. The following article discusses Optimizer Specific Parameters:

Connection Timeouts: Errors ORA-3135/ORA-3136
To troubleshoot issues caused by Connection Timeouts when errors such as ORA-3135 or ORA-3136 are seen, see:
Document 730066.1 Troubleshooting ORA-3135/ORA-3136 Connection Timeouts Errors - Database Diagnostics
Deadlocks: Error ORA-00060

Enqueue/Locks
For locking issues refer to :
Document 1392319.1 Master Note: Locks, Enqueues and Deadlocks
Document 15476.1 FAQ about Detecting and Resolving Locking Conflicts
High Numbers of Child Cursors/High Cursor Version Counts
When a SQL statement is executed, Oracle will try to match that statement up with an existing identical statement that has already been executed and attempt to reuse the stored parsed representation of it (which is stored within a cursor structure in the library cache). If the existing information in the cursor for that statement cannot be used, a new version of that statement will be created and used instead. If lots of versions of a particular statement are created, Oracle has to search through the versions to determine which (if any) can be shared. In extreme circumstances, this can cause mutex contention and other issue that degrade the database performance. In order to troubleshoot these issues and determine the cause, see:
Document 296377.1 Troubleshooting: High Version Count Issues
Hung database
To troubleshoot cases where the database appears to have hung, refer to :
Document 1378583.1 Troubleshooting Database Hang Issues

Log File Sync
To troubleshoot issues where 'log file sync' is a primary cause of session wait activity, see:
Document 1376916.1 Troubleshooting: "Log File Sync" Waits
Mutex Contention
For issues related to Mutex contention, refer to :
Document 1377998.1 Troubleshooting: Waits for Mutex Type Events
