I'm using Oracle 11g and I have a bunch of indexes and I want to check if they are being used. I just ran my workloads and now I want to see when each one was last used so I can see if it was during my timeframe or not.
After I ran my test, I found the below, but since I did not enable this, plus I have many indexes.
--Monitor an index to see if it's used
alter index SAMPLE_INDEX monitoring usage;
select * from v$object_usage where index_name = 'SAMPLE_INDEX';
alter index SAMPLE_INDEX nomonitoring usage;
Is there a way I can find what the last date/time and index was used for a select...
I have a table with several indexes on them, which I beleive are not being accessed.
I use the following the query to find indexes that where not accessed in a while but this I believe is limited my my workload repository retention, which is set to 90 days.
select index_name from dba_indexes where table_name='<table name>' and index_name not in (select c1 from( select p.object_name c1, p.operation c2, p.options c3, count(1) c4 from dba_hist_sql_plan p, dba_hist_sqlstat s where p.object_owner = 'MTAS' and p.operation like '%INDEX%' and p.sql_id = s.sql_id group by p.object_name, p.operation, p.options order by 1,2,3))
Without increasing my repository retention is there a way I can get the last date/time, which an index was used instead of just saying it has not been used in 90 days (retention setting). Is this information kept in the SQL plan?
- First time to execute: Using all indexes on 2 tables
- Second time to execute: Using only indexes on first table, full table scan on the other
- Third time to execute: Do FTS on both of tables.
Now, I show the objects and relate information here:
The Tables:

Is there any way to reduce the index creation time. I have one table which has 7700000 records and every day this table get truncate and we create with create table as select statement and then create the 4 indexes and each index took 5 minutes so in totality it took 20 minutes in index creation.
update tab1 set col1 = ( select col2 from tab2 where tab1.id = tab2.id) table 1 has arnd 10,000 rows
table 2 has arnd 1,700,000 rows and has a primary key on column id.This query is taking around 20 secs to execute. I checked the x-plan and most of time taken for table access by index rowid.I checked the stats for the tab2, its just three days old.
I am on 11.2.0.3 Enterprise Edition. We are using the new feature "Composite Domain Index" for a Domain index on a very large table (>250.000.000 rows). It really works with mixed queries. We added two number columns using FILTER BY.We have lots of DML on this table. Therefore, we are executing synchronize and optimize once the week. The synch behaves pretty normal. But "optimize_index" takes a very very long time to complete. I have switsched on 'logging' for the optimize process. The $I table takes some time but is finished normally. But the optimization of the $S table (that is the table created for the CDI feature) is running over 12 hours now - and far from being finished. From the logfile, I can see that it optimizes 1000 rows every 20 minutes. Here is the output of the logfile:
Oracle Text, 11.2.0.3.0 14:33:05 06/26/12 begin logging 14:33:05 06/26/12 event 14:33:05 06/26/12 process $N for optimize: SEQDEV.GEN_GES_DESCRIPTION_CTX_I 14:33:16 06/26/12 14:33:16 06/26/12 [code]....
I haven't found a recommendation from Oracle not to use "optimize_index" for Domain Indexes with CDI. But in my case, it would be much faster just to drop and recreate the Domain Index in question.
I have a huge table (about 60 gb) partition over range. The index on this table is global index created on 4 columns together. I have a query which is running very slowly. The explain plan is showing the use of this global index.Explain plan is not showing pstart and pend because the index is global.
I am facing the error "ORA-01502: index or partition of such index is in unusable state " while loading the text data using sql loader with direct path (direct = Y ,rows = 10000) option. Table consists an composite non unique index. If I query the dba indexes for the effected index it shows the index status as VALID. There was no maintaince done on the effected table or index. I have tried loading the same data using conventional path but didn't found any issues for the same.
where @var is user supplied input at runtime...We had a index on a.c2 . The CBO would use this index to generate an opitimised query plan.We found some records from table "b" were dropping due to inner join. So we made a change in join. It'd be like
a.c1(+)=b.c1 and nvl(a.c2,@var)=@var
This query is no longer using the index, instead its doing a full table scan causing the query to slowdown.I have tried creating index on nvl(a.c2,'31-dec-9999')
But the CBO won't use it.Anyway to create index on this col so that full table scan can be avoided?
We have occurrences of enq : TX - index contentions in the database. Using the SQL ID, we have identified the INSERT statement and the table which they are trying to insert.
This table has almost 25 different indexes, some of which are unique as well.I am wondering how to identify the actual index causing issue, out of these 25 indexes.
Is there any way to pin point to the name of index which is causing the lock?My plan is, once the index is identified, I would like to check the extents and inittrans and other attributes of this index to fix.
When I try to extract the date tag value from XML data, the time stored in 20120602153021 format i.e., YYYYMMDD24HHMISS format. The following statement extracts only date as 02-JUN-12 however do not extract the time part.
If I try the same in SQLplus with to_date it works however fails in PL/SQL.
XML data: <?xml version="1.0"?> <RECORD> <REGTIMESTAMP>20120601130010</REGTIMESTAMP> </RECORD>
PL/SQL Extract:
CURSOR c_xml_record IS SELECT extract(value(d), '//ACTIVATIONTS/text()').getStringVal() AS REGTIMESTAMP, FROM t_xml_data x, [code].......
I have one inline view query which shows exec\ fetch : 2 sec\ 19 sec It gives 500 rows as final out put, when i give rownum<100 it shows exec\ fetch : 1 sec\ 000 sec, and i cannot use this rownum< 100 alternative as this is inline subquery of big query.
I Have three field and first field for START TIME ,Second END TIME & Third DURATION AND Putting START TIME AND END TIME i am getting duration in minutes by using code
I have a table which stores apointment start times and appointment end times. For the sake of this thread I will call them appt.start_time and appt.end_time. I then have a check in time and a check out time for the customer. The only thing is they ONLY way to distinguish between a check in time and a check out time is which one has the earlier time and which one has the later time. Obviously the earlier time will be the check and the later time will be the check out.
This is fine, however sometimes they may forget to check a person in or out and I need to determine whether the time should be insert into the check_in column or the check_out column. To do this I was thinking of comparing the time with the appointment start and end time and if it was closer to the appointment start time put it into the check_in column and if its closer to the appointment end time put it into the check_out column. But I was wondering how I would go about doing this.
The time I will want to compare against the appointment start and end time I will store in a variable called v_time and have this as part of my query, im just unsure of what way to write the query so as to check if the time is closer to the start or end time.
select asl1.agentsessionid, asl1.endtime, asl2.starttime, 127 as agentstatus from ( select asl1.agentsessionid as sessionid1, min(asl2.agentsessionid) as sessionid2 from cti.agentsessionlog asl1
[code]...
As you can see from my where statement I want to compare the endtime with the startime. This query returns zero results. Is there a way to write the where statement different so I can have results?
Let's consider such table that all rows fit into single block:
SQL> create table test as select rownum id, '$'||rownum name from dual connect by level <= 530; Table created. SQL> create index i_test on test(id); Index created. SQL> SQL> begin
[code].....
why does approach with full scan take longer even if table occupies only one data block? PS. 11gR2
My time zone has the offset of 2 hrs during summer and 1 hr during winter.If I want Oracle to tell me what was offset for particular day for example I want to know the offset for February 01, 2010 and August 01, 2010, is it possible?
I have an application in which time is show as . But, in the table in Oracle it is showing as 13:00. The application is taking the time from OS. OS time is 18:30 IST. Time in SYSDATE is also showing as 18:30. DBTIMEZONE is '+5:30'. what is the problem in Database and how that can be rectified to show the time as same as OS time.
We have a Oracle 10g database with RAC and Dataguard. When we look at the AWR report, the wait time shown by Oracle for this database is very high.
Service Time : 15.36% Wait Time : 84.64%
This would imply Oracle is waiting for resources 85% of the time and only processing SQL queries during 15% of its non-idle time. However when we check the OS (RHEL), the iowait is only about 10% and the CPU is 80% idle. This means that that processing horsepower is available.
As such, the results between the OS and Oracle database (AWR report) seems contradictory. OS says we have CPU/IO capacity, however Oracle says we don't.
There is an index with degree 16 on a rac env. The base table has no degree. The table and index are not partitioned. Does the degree of index only affect index DDL (alter, rebuild etc)? Any effects on query (PQ)?
i have a application which uses 32 tables for retrieval in this 4 tables are important and have a size more than 100 mb can i move the index of these 4 tables cache memory to improve the applications retrieval performance if i done so ,then that will affect any other applications performance
Am pasting the sample code here, which i got from some site..
DECLARE TYPE population_type IS TABLE OF NUMBER INDEX BY VARCHAR2(64); country_population population_type; continent_population population_type; howmany NUMBER;
[code]...
Here we are fetching indexes (like Antartica/Australia) from these two statements continent_population.FIRST or continent_population.LAST. If there are three or more indexes in the same table, how to fetch all of them?
I have tried using this, but doesnt work because loop variables are by default integers:
for i in continent_population.FIRST .. continent_population.LAST loop dbms_output.put_line('i:'||i); end loop;
