Performance Tuning :: Keep Pool In Buffer Cache
Jan 15, 2011
I have some confusion about Keep Pool in Buffer Cache.
1. What is the reasoning for placing a table in the KEEP buffer pool because if it is frequently accessed, it will be around when needed (ie if it is constantly being accessed it will not age out) .
2. Would the table be still in the Default Pool if the Keep Pool is not sized and the command is being issued alter TABLE SCOTT.EMP storage (buffer_pool keep) ?
3. If the database is restarted will the table be wiped out of the Keep Pool and again be pinned to the Keep Pool ?

Considering the below factors, I am planning to increase the buffer cache value from 256Mb to 512Mb.
1. Buffer cache hit ratio value is around 35% even in the normal period.
2. free buffer requested value is below during peak & normal hours below.
Statistic Total per Second per Trans
--------------------------------- ------------------ -------------- ------------
free buffer requested 54,694,995 15,226.9 2,523.7
free buffer requested 23,412,674 6,501.7 2,585.9
3. most of the top 5 physical reads & logical reads queries are well tuned and some of queries are doing FTS on small tables (table count min 1500 max 35000). SO indexing option is not required for these queires. But these queries getting executed frequently.

1) Is shutting down the DB flush all the data buffers, from the buffer Cache?
2) In any oracle version, do we have any way to flush only the buffer Cache.

I am currently in the favorable situation in which I have excess amounts of memory available on the database server - a single node setup. The server only serves the single instance and no other processing. Database size is around 2.3tb and memory is 50gb. For the majority of processing, AIX is allocating a significant amount (anywhere from 30-40%) of the memory to the AIX file system cache (persistent pages).
I've been trying to find documentation about this, but have not had any luck yet. My guess is that it would be better to allow Oracle to cache this data - meaning increase the SGA target and max size to allow for a larger buffer cache. However, the nice thing about the AIX cache is if process memory is needed, the file system cache gives up pages. If the memory was allocated to the SGA, its pretty much locked in.
I have read several articles stating that a larger buffer cache is not always better, as a larger cache takes more management. But having both of the caches active seem to be a waste of memory, effectively storing the data twice - once in AIX persistent pages and a second time in Oracle database buffer cache.

Is there any relationship b/w tuning BUFFER CACHE and BUFFER BUSY WAITS?
1) Buffer Busy Waits are happening as the User process found the same Datablock is being used by another user in the BUFFER CACHE.
2) And also happens, when the server process found the same Datablock are being used in the Datafile.

If I have specify the SGA_TARGET, do I still need to specify the amount of memory for SHARED_POOL_SIZE? I thought once the SGA_TARGET, auto memory management is in place and SHARED_POOL is not neccessary.

we are running a 2 node rac database of oracle 10.2.0.4 in aix 6.3. The shared pool utilisation goes up when we run our jobs and sql statements. But it does not come down. It been 2 gig for over 3 days without any processes running.
Is there a threshold time period after which oracle will release the space utilisation from the shared pool????

We are facing performance issues on our production instance 10g(10.2.0.4) 32-bit OELinux 5.3 2GB SGA. The performance is mainly related to one of the table which is sized about 32Gb. We have rebuild the indexes as well but problemstill persist. We are considering to pin SQL statement in shared pool which is hitting the same table frequently. But as far what we have find, is that we can only pin procedures or function in shared pool. True/false?If we can, then how to pin SQL statement in shared pool?If we can not, then is there any other way?

Does cache buffer chain latch and buffer busy wait event are related to one any another.
Latch definition from Google says : Latches are simple, low-level serialization mechanisms to protect shared data structures in the system global area (SGA).
what does it mean my protect. Does this mean protects from aging as per LRU algorithm and getting removed from SGA
or
protect from other processes ,say from example from simultaneously DML operations.
or
both
Does buffer busy wait event occurs , because of the cache buffer chain latch ?

I noticed oracle background process ora_fbda_padwsdpr is suffering from buffer busy wait. When i further finding the object, it was on SYS_FBA_FA tables.
what is this is causing BUFFER BUSY WAIT. Also to add we have disabled flashback database.

In order to improve the performance of our live server, I am trying to do an exhaustive comparison with our test environment which is quite quick in spite of the fact that we port the data from Live every month.
There are no obviously slow queries appearing in the the top SQLs of AWR, we have optimised such things already. Right now it is about general uplift rather than SQL based tuning.
I picked up random SQLs and I noticed a marked differences in the execution time. Typically they are 3 to 4 times and there are cases much more than that.
1. I observed that, while the explain plan of the queries are same, trace of the queries give a different picture. I have observed that the recursive calls, consistent gets and sorts(memory) are quite high on Live.
2. I have no solid reasons to say this but my instincts tell me that the recursive calls is the major contributing factor. It is sometimes 2000+ for an SQL.
3. On googling more on that, it finally made me compare the data dictionary on the AWR report of test and Live.
The dc_objects caught my eyes. In that 4 hour AWR, there were about 10 million get requests and the pct miss was ~10. For similar load, the test server had 5 million gets with 0.08 PCT miss for 4 hours.

I've have a system where the most buffer waits are spent on system tables like
SYS.DBMS_ALERT_INFO
and SYS.DBMS_LOCK_ALLOCATED
Would it convert the system tablespace from dictionary managed to locally managed?

I'm trying to demonstrate the working of the OCI client result cache. I've set some parameters,orcl> sho parameter result_cache
NAME TYPE VALUE
------------------------------------ ----------- ------------------------------
client_result_cache_lag big integer 3000
client_result_cache_size big integer 1000000
result_cache_max_result integer 5
result_cache_max_size big integer 1984K
result_cache_mode string FORCE
result_cache_remote_expiration integer 0
If I understand the docs correctly, that should be all that is needed.I've complied and run the cdemoqc and cdemoqc2 OCI demos, but I never get anything in the V$CLIENT_RESULT_CACHE_STATS or CLIENT_RESULT_CACHE_STATS$ views. This is probably because the sessions exit after running the queries.
So I've also tried repeating arbitrary queries through cdemo2, which gives a persistent session, but there is still nothing in those views and furthermore the v$result_cache_objects.scan_count for my queries keeps increasing. So I don't think think the client side cache is working.

i am testing a proc after tuning it but the problem is, it is taking a very very less time which it shouldn't. I know that it is because of the buffer cache and the shared pool. that why i need to clean the cache to retest it.
I cannot bounce the database as other schemas are part of it. so is there any way to clean the cache for that particular schema i.e bouncing any particular schema(i know that the term is not appropriate).

Database : 9.2.0.7
Os : windows 2003 sevrer standdard edition
RAM 4 Gigs
The buffer cache hit ratio in this server is around 83%, where it normaly was around 98% before i did some maintenance activities.
I have done some maintenance activities in January on this database.
Maintenance activties includes below steps
1.In production i have deleted old data in the production tables
2.Reorganized tablespaces,tables
3.Rebuild indexes for those tables.
4. At last collected statistics for those tables.
Now after this activity the buffer cache hit ratio is very low.

I want to simulate latch : cache buffer chains wait event due to use of nested loop join for lookup tables
This is what a tried :
-- create parent / child tables
SQL>drop table emp1 purge;
drop table dept1 purge;
create table dept1 (dept_id number primary key,
dept_name char(30));
[Code]....
I traced many queries like the one given below (dept_id between 1 and n where n varied from 10 to 1000) but they always result in hash join
1* select d.dept_name, e.id from sys.dept1 d, sys.emp1 e where d.dept_id = e.dept_id and e.dept_id < 1000
Execution Plan
----------------------------------------------------------
Plan hash value: 619452140
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Id | Operation | Name | Rows | Bytes | Cost (%CPU)| Time |
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
| 0 | SELECT STATEMENT | | 998K| 41M| 680 (2)| 00:00:09 |
|* 1 | HASH JOIN | | 998K| 41M| 680 (2)| 00:00:09 |
|* 2 | TABLE ACCESS FULL| DEPT1 | 999 | 34965 | 4 (0)| 00:00:01 |
|* 3 | TABLE ACCESS FULL| EMP1 | 999K| 8780K| 672 (2)| 00:00:09 |

I have a serious doubt in oracle architecture functionality, when a user issues a update statement the data blocks are carried to db buffer cache and where does the changes to the data blocks are made???? Does a copy of the data block is kept in db buffer cache and the changes are made to the block in buffer cache?? or the a copy of the data block is kept in undo tablespace and changes are made to the blocks in the undo tablespace???
In simple the changes to the data blocks are made at db buffer cache or undo tablespace?

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?
