Performance Tuning :: Incremental Stats Not Happening
Oct 15, 2012
I have set the incremental stats for my partition table as it takes more than 20 min to gather , though the incremental is set to 'true' the table is getting analyzed completely.
I have used the above to get a copy of schema stats and gather new stats for specific tables into a STATS TABLE in my personal schema. What I want to do now is use this stats table to generate plans for queries where I believe stats are off. Is it even possible? To be clear, I do not want to import stats because this replaces the stats currently there. I just want to point the CBO to my stats table for generating plans.
there was a session parameter I could set to tell oracle to use my stats table when generating plans, or an explain plan clause I could use or a DBMS_XPLAN paramter I could provide that would tell these tools to use my stats table when generating a plan, or even some way to tell autotrace. But I have found none of this.
How can i check if paging happening while running the query. As i have 4gb of PGA target but the query is taking long time in parallel and has hash join.
Oracle 10g has the feature of automatic stats gathering in this case is it necessary to run DBMS_STATS on tables manually. Does the stats gathered become stale when the auto stat runs ?
Is it possible for the DBMS_STATS "LIST STALE" command to show a stale partition but NOT have its table show as stale?
I had a scenario where the table itself AND 1 partition showed as stale. I ran a fnd_stats gather table stats just on that 1 partition. Once it was completed it showed the partition to no longer be stale. it also showed that the table was no longer stale. so I guess I do not need to run stats on the whole table as well?
so if this is the case, when would I need to run stats on the full partitioned table if running it on the partitions themselves removes the staleness of the table?
I am gathering stats by using below block i.e., for some 3 million records and there are 6 indexes on the table. What is the relevance of value 4 here (i.e., method_opt => 'FOR ALL INDEXED COLUMNS SIZE 4')? If I increase 4 to 250 will there be any speed change in gathering stats. My intention is to speed up the gathering of stats.
Our UNDO space remains at a high level 85 to 95 percent. We keep adding database files and it doesn't seem to go down significantly. When we do a backup of the system where we shut the database down, it does go down some but then within a week or so it is back up again.
I have several databases that i've recently upgraded from 9i to 11g. With all of them, the automatic stats gathering process has worked just fine every night during the maintenance window.
However, i have this other database that i created and it seems that the only stats being gathered are on the sys and system schemas and not the actual schema that holds all of our tables.
I did some searching, but i'm not sure i was using the right search terms, because i came up empty.

I load a table through sql loader which takes nearly 14 min for 8-9 millions records, once the records complete i run the analyze table compute statics to gather stats and it takes nearly 15 min. is there any ways so that i can reduce the stats timing. the stats collection command runs from other schema not from where the table is residing.
Elapsed times include waiting on following events:

Why the elasped time changed when data and plan hasn't changed at all? Also why the plan has different stats for round 1 and 2 on db1 and db2?
I ran it 2 times each round each database so hard parsing shall not be issue.Also why the number of rows accessed are different in db1,db2 and db3,db4 especially for step1 when count of crt.qtn_cun_id is similar?
In fact when the query was taking long I was the only user on the system Also I used hard coded value (no bind variables at all)
I checked num_rows, distinct keys as well which are quite similar across all 4 databases Also no stats where gather during the query execution
Looking to understand the difference between instance tuning and database tuning.
What is the difference between these two tuning exercises? I understand that an instance is memory based structures (logical) where as database consists of physical structures.
However, how does one tune a database the physical structure? Does it have to do with file placements/block sizes etc. Would you agree that a lot of that is taken care by ASM now in 11g? What tools are required/available (third party as well as oracle supplied) for these types of tuning scenarios?
During STATS gather running for the table, unknowingly i deleted the old stats using EXEC DBMS_STATS.DELETE_TABLE_STATS. I would like to know will it affect the stats gather job currently running for the table and whether my stats will be gathered successfully.
I have two tables with 113M records in DWH_BILL_DET & 103M in prd_rerate_chg_que and Im running following merge query, which is running for 13 hrs to update records, which is quiet longer time.
SQL> explain plan for MERGE /*+ parallel (rq, 16) */ INTO DWH_BILL_DET rq USING (SELECT rated_que_rowid, detail_rerate_flag_code, rerate_sel_key,
How the length of column width effects index performance?
For example if i had IOT table emp_iot with columns: (id number, job varchar2(20), time date, plan number)
Table key consist of(id, job, time)
Column JOB has fixed list of distinct values ('ANALYST', 'NIGHT_WORKED', etc...).
What performance increase i could expect if in column "job" i would store not names but concrete numbers identifying job names. For e.g. i would store "1" instead 'ANALYST' and "2" instead 'NIGHT_WORKED'.
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?
There is a simple way to increase the performance of a query by reducing the row-size of the table it hits. I used it in the past by dividing the table into smaller parts and querying respective smaller table in each query.
what is this method called ? just forgot the method and can't recall it. what this type of row-reduction optimization is called ?
How many records could I have in a single table without performance degradation with Standard Edition without partitioning with cutting-edge server (8 or 12 cores, 72 GB RAM, FC 4 Gbit, etc...) and good storage?
300 Millions in only one table with 500K transactions / day is too much?
Testing our 9i to 11g upgrade, we've imported the entire DB into the new machine.We've found that certain procedures are really suffering performance problems. BUT, we've also found, that if we check out a production copy of the procedure from our source code control, and reinstall it, the performance issue goes away. Just alter the procedure and recompiling does NOT work.
The new machine where the 11g database exists is slightly different than the source, but it's not like we have this problem with every procedure. It's only a couple.
any possible reason that we'd have to re-install a procedure to correct a performance problem?
I need to check the package performance and need to improve the package performance.
1. how to check the package performance(each and every statement in the package)? 2. In the package using the delete statement to delete all records and observed that delete is taking long time to delete all the records in the table(Table records 7000000). This table is like staging table.Daily need to clean the data before inserting the data into it. what can I use instead of Delete.
Somewhere I read that we should not use hints in Oracle production environments, but we can use hints in the development environment and on achieving the desired execution plan we can adjust the 'statistics' to follow that plan without hints.
Q1. If it is true what statistics do we adjust for influencing the execution plan and how?
For example, I have the following simple query:
select e.empid, e.ename, d.dname from emp e, dept d where e.deptno=d.deptno;
emp.empid, emp.deptno and dep.deptno columns have indexes and the tables have the standard structure as found in the basic oracle examples.
If I look at the execution plan of the above query then I see that the driving table is empand the driven table is dept.Also the type of join that is taking place is 'Nested Loop'.
Questions: With respect to the above query, Q 2. If I want to make dept the driving table and emp the driven table then how can I adjust the statistics to achieve that? Q 3. If I want to use hash join instead of a nested loop join then then how can I adjust the statistics to achieve that?
I can put the ordered and the use_hash hint to effect this but again I have heard that altering statistics is a more robust way to control an execution plan as compared to hints.
When i exporting an user using expdp utility, the load the on the server is going up-to 5. The size of the database is 180GB. Below is the command that i use for export.
The following query gets input parameter from the Front End application, which User queries to get Reports.There are many drop down boxes like LOB, FAMILY, BRAND etc., The user may or may not select values from drop down boxes.
If the user select any one or more values ( against each drop down box) it has to fetch all matching values from DB. If the user does'nt select any values it has to fetch all the records, in this case application will send a value 'DEFAULT' (which is not a value in DB ) so that the DB will fetch all the records.
For getting this I wrote a query like below using DECODE, which colleague suggested that will hamper performance.From the below query all the variables V_ are defined in procedure which gets the values selected by user as a comma separated string here V_SELLOB and LOB_DESC is column in DB.
DECODE (V_SELLOB, 'DEFAULT', V_SELLOB, LOB_DESC) IN OPEN v_refcursor FOR SELECT /*+ FULL(a) PARALLEL(a, 5) */ * FROM items a WHERE a.sku_status = 'A'
what the principal things to look at when we have for the same query different performance results are?I have 2 different bases: the plan and data are the same but performance results are very differents.
I encrypted the column but when i check through strings command the data is still not encrypted,i created the wallet etc etc,set proper path in sqlnet.ora
are the most important performance keys we have to calculate or take in account to preserve or to increase the DB performance in terms of response times, and whatsoever according to performance ?
I have installed Oracle RAC 10g on Redhat Linux 4.0. Till yesterday failover was happening that is when i stopped one instance on node01 the vip of node01 was transferred to node02.This was shown using ifconfig -a but now that is now happening.
Below information is given:
[oracle@node01 ~]$ crs_stat -t Name Type Target State Host ------------------------------------------------------------ ora.hitesh.db application ONLINE ONLINE node02 ora....h1.inst application ONLINE ONLINE node01
Create table rqst_list(id Number, --(PK) pkg_name varchar2(100), status varchar2(100))
When a record is inserted into this table(rqst_list), a trigger is fired which calls the package which is there in pkg_name.The function does some function.If there are no exceptions while executing the package, then SUCCESS needs to be updated in the table for the id for which the trigger got fired.I have used AFTER INSERT ROW level trigger.
But,the final UPDATE (UPDATE the rqst_list table to SUCCES/FAILURE)to the base table inside the package is not happening.
I am working on an assignement where client is using Oracle 10g but stuck to using RBO Now the application team, from the GUI available to them build dynamic queries and some of them run very slow.
Neither the code can not be changed to tune the queries nor do we get the exact step in the plan which is an issue (being RBO).For some long running queries the Tuning advisor is not producing any recommendations.
Another hurdle is that all the application users are using same application user id so we can not write a logon trigger to use CBO for some particular queries to see what is happening in the background!
I want to tuning the next sql sentence. In this sql I want to get the hash_value and sql_text of the sentences that it's causing TX blocks. Is it possible?. This sentence works fine but sometimes It's slow.
SELECT DISTINCT hash_value, sql_text FROM gv$sql sq WHERE hash_value IN (SELECT DISTINCT prev_hash_value FROM gv$session se WHERE sid IN (SELECT sid FROM gv$lock l WHERE type = 'TX' AND ctime >= 2000 AND l.inst_id = se.inst_id AND l.sid = se.sid) AND sq.inst_id = se.inst_id); [code]....
