How To Find Table Fragmentation
Jul 22, 2011A query to find the table fragmentation.
View 1 RepliesA query to find the table fragmentation.
View 1 RepliesI got the error ORA-01653: unable to extend table <OWNER.TABLE_NAME> by <BYTE> in tablespace <TABLESPACE> in my production database. But I could see 4GB of free space available in the tablespace. But this was resolved after increasing the Tablespace size by 1 more GB. So I wanted to know how I can I reclaim the 4GB space ?
While searching in internet I got few tips like there will be a fragmentation in the tablespace, the free space available in the tablespace may not be a continuous block. To avoid this we need to reorganize the tables using ALTER TABLE <TABLE_NAME> MOVE <TABLESPACE>; command.
But in my tablespace there are huge number of tables exists I cannot do reorganization of all the tables. So I need to know how to identify particularly what are the tables has more fragmentation? so that I can go for reorganizing those tables only.
My Database version in 9.2.0.7
Tablespaces are Locally Managed
To remove fragmentation which is the best method.
First one :
-----------------
1)Created a backup table from the Fragmented table (This table is a partitioned one).
2)Analyzed this table.
3)DROP the Fragmented table
4)Inserted the backuped up data from backup table to the Re-created table.
5)Analyze this table.
Second method
-------------------
1) Create a backup table newly, with PCTFREE =0
2) Inserted the data from Fragmented table ( This is a partitioned table) to backup table
3) Analyzed this table.
4) Truncate Fragmented table
4) Did Exchange partition of Fragmented table with Backup table.
The second method is not found to be removing the Fragmentation. Before the fragmentation was 28% after Second method the fragmentation is still the same. While the first method the fragmentation reduced to 16%.
Query used to find Fragmentation.
select table_name,
round((blocks*8),2) "table size kb",
round((num_rows*avg_row_len/1024),2) "actual data in table kb",
round((blocks*8),2)- round((num_rows*avg_row_len/1024),2) "wasted space kb",
[code]...
I have tried below steps for removing the table fregmentation but for some table i am not getting good result here.
1. It will collect the data which are having more than 100MB fragmentation.
select owner,table_name,blocks,num_rows,avg_row_len,round(((blocks*8/1024)),2)||'MB' "TOTAL_SIZE", round((num_rows*avg_row_len
/1024/1024),2)||'Mb' "ACTUAL_SIZE", round(((blocks*8/1024)-(num_rows*avg_row_len/1024/1024)),2) ||'MB' "FRAGMENTED_SPACE" from
dba_tables where owner in('a','b','c','d') and round(((blocks*8/1024)-(num_rows*avg_row_len/1024/1024)),2)
> 100 order by 8 desc;
2. then move the object(table) to the same tablespace.
alter table abc move;
alter table bcd move;
alter table efg move;
3. also rebuild the dependent objects.
alter index abc_PK rebuild online;
4. Then analyze the table which are having more than 100MB of fragmentation.
exec dbms_stats.gather_table_stats('a','abc');
exec dbms_stats.gather_table_stats('b','bcd');
exec dbms_stats.gather_table_stats('c','cdf');
after that when check the table fragmentation, i am getting the same result, which i have collected from the 1st query.
I have table of 60 gb(indexes 60gb ) and it is subject to fragmentation around 10gb .
I m going to remove fragmentation . As i know i have three options
1.expdp/impdp .
2.CTAS (create table ........as.......) with parallel option .
3.Moving table into another tablespace with parallel option .
I have 4 physical and 4 logical cores(total 8 cores) on server .
find out whether the rowmovement option in a partitioned table will cause fragmentation or not?
View 3 Replies View RelatedDoes "Update on a Partitioned Column" cause fragmentation ?
See example below :
Suppose I have a table as below that has approx 3 million rows and growing :
1) Table ABC :
file_id number
status_flag varchar2(1)
file_Content clob
date_created date
2) This table is list partitioned on Column "status_flag".
Column "status_flag" can take 3 values "A" or "B" or "C"
3) A file_id can transition from 1 "Status_flag" to another. [ A--> B , C--> B, B-->C, A --> C, etc ]
This means its possible to UPDATE the "status_flag " - the partitioned column.
Question :
-------------
1) Would the movement of rows from 1 partition to another cause fragmentation ?
2) Or Instead, should this be achieved by maintaining 3 tables - 1 each for every "status_Flag" as Table_A, Table_B, Table_C
This would mean that, if file_id 1, changes "status_flag" from 'A' to 'B' :
-- The corresponding row from Table_A will be created in Table_B
--- The same will be deleted from Table_A
This would still cause fragmentation ... with the overhead of Inserting a CLOB column from 1 table to another.
3) How to determine how much percent of the table is fragmented ?
i have deleted 20 lak rows from a table which has 30 lak rows,
and i wanted to release the fragmented space, what is the procedure other than exp/imp or alter table move
and also the recommended way to do this prod env... (coalesce /alter move etc.. )
db version is 11.2
Oracle DB version : 10.2.0.5.0
OS version HP-UX B.11.31 U ia64
DB size : 2TB
We have the above configuration for one of our oracle database. One of our DBA acts like he is only the person on this earth who is managing the process of fragmentation removal from the tablespaces in order to improve the performance and wastage of the space. He performs that task at weekends and takes one-off day extra. I am not sure how the fragmentation removal improves the performance and deallocates the space.
Is it compulsory to perform the rebuild process weekly in order to remove fragmented space from tablespaces? Do we have any other method to automatically re-organize objects occupying waste space?
Why the reuild of indexes using separate tablespace improves performance? is there any specifi reason for it?
I want to do horizontal fragmentation of a table say employee. But fragmentation is often related to distributed databases. So i want to ask how can i do this on my single home computer? list out the steps that should be performed. I saw the concept of link but really failed to understand that.

SELECT AVG (tfrag)

The reason I am asking that before index rebuild it returned 86% but after rebuild (ALTER INDEX .. REBUILD) it returned
96% which does not make sense.
I did try ctx_report.index_stats but it takes more time to run.
I have a question about database fragmentation.I know that fragmentation can reduce performance in query times. The blocks are distributed in many extents and scans process takes a long time. Oracle engine have to locate the address of the next extent..
I want to know if there is any system view in which you can check if your table or index has high fragmentation. If it's needed I will have to re-create, move or rebulid the table or index, but before I want to know if the degree of fragmentation is high.
Any useful script or query to do this, any interesting oracle system view?
i have table like TWRCHAIN_WS_SUM. it is regularly updated by another object like procedure, function. how can i find which object is updating the particular table across the database.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI want to know the DDL statements executed on a table. Example:
i have a table test1 with structure as below: test1 (aa number, bb varchar2(10))
After some period of time, one DDL statement to alter the column is issued.
alter table test1 modify (bb varchar2(30));
so new table structure is: test1(aa number, bb varchar2(30))
Basically i would like to find these 2 DDL statements executed on this table - test1, so that i compare which column get modified and what modification done.
Is this information stored in any data dictionary table?

1) how to find a primary key of a table in oracle, for example if I want to drop a index in table , how do I find what is the primary key in a table so that I can issue that command.
P/s: I don't have OEM installed so I must use SQL command
Example of dropping the index
ALTER TABLE table_name
drop CONSTRAINT constraint_name;
For example:
ALTER TABLE supplier
drop CONSTRAINT supplier_pk;
I need the column name and table name which is having the particular value in the whole database.
