I have a question regarding memory parameters in oracle database 9.2.0.8, especially sga_max_size and db_cache_size. Database server has 32G of ram. Oracle parameter on server shmmax is set to 16G. Is reasonable to set sga_max_size to the same value, and db_cache_size to 80% of that size?
View 2 RepliesI am aware that from 11g, memory_target is sufficient for memeory management between SGA and PGA.
what happens if MEMORY_TARGET set to non-zero and SGA_TARGET set to zero values in a 11g database? Does it enable automatic memory management within the SGA?
We regularly hit by ORA-4031 errors. Also, memory_target advisory (v$memory_target_advice) does not show any advisory information.
for eg:
memory_max_target = 500m
memory_target = 500m
and
sga_max_size=500m
sga_target=0
We are using the 11g AMM feature and Memory_Target set to 96GB and total RAM on the Server is 128GB Now the top and free shows up only 200MB memory free on the system.
There are 2 process dbw0 and dbw1 which consumes the top memory and this is 30GB per dbw.
Why is the dbw process taking up so much memory when there is not much load on the database.
we have 96GB Memory on the UNIX server and 85% of its usage shows oracle processes I want to determine which Oracle processes are taking most of the memory
SGA is around 36G
SGA_TARGET is 40G
PGA is around 4G
the total of around 40-45 GB of usage is understandable but what other oracle process are chewing up the remaining 30-40 GB on the server is not known

I have 3 questions.
I have 11.2.0.1 database on Windows 2008 R2 SP1.
1) While connecting to the database as sysdba (sqlplus "/as sysdba"), it takes about 12 to 15 seconds what things I need to check/change so that connection will be faster?
2) Also, I have read somewhere that changing the sga/memory parameters connecting to the database. is it true?
3) This is not concerned with above 2 questions. What should be the memory parameters size for a 8 gb database?
What I have is:
Total System Global Area 1068937216 bytes
Fixed Size 2182592 bytes
Variable Size 1027605056 bytes
Database Buffers 33554432 bytes
Redo Buffers 5595136 bytes
I am using 11g version, and trying to understand the Memory Allocation.
1) The new feature Memory target parameters are dynamic? is in it? But when I set with the ALTER SYSTEM... it was not changed, then I had to restart the DB.
2) With the new 2 parameters (MEMORY_MAX_TARGET, MEMORY_TARGET), the SGA_MAX_SIZE parameter should be 0, right? But in my case, the SGA_MAX_SIZE value is automatically assigned.
determine if a function is worth pinning in memory? I want to come up with a percentage, implying that if the function is already im memory 80%+ of the time then it is not worth it.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have two tables with same columns(15 of them), I am trying to find difference between two tables using minus operator and then insert in stage table using below code
Issue is table1 has 50 million records
table2 is empty
so when first time when we execute this v_collection1,v_collection2 collection will have 50 million records in it which will go in memory, I think this is not good, because going in memory will eat memory and resources while sorting and other activities ?
After fetching records in collection we are inserting that in stage table and then COMMIT so i think that wont be good because committing 50 million will generate large amount of redo?

I am trying to run a trace file with TKPROF. It throws an error :
MEMORY FAULT
The size of the trace file is 8MB. I tried with some other file trace files bigger in size (10MB) than the above file, it works fine. I tried seeing any permission right is required on that trace file is required for the tkprof to excute, but it has got the same permissions like the other trace files.
The problem is that it is not showing any error number or any other Error Description other than "MEMORY FAULT".
I have few queries on PGA memory management.Since these queries are based on 2-3 examples not exactly same by nature I am summarising it after my understanding for the same
As I understand many workareas can be allocated to a single sql statement and number and sizes of theses workareas is controlled internally by Oracle when Automatic Memory management (PGA_aggregate_target and workarea_size_policy=Auto are set) Since many sessions share the PGA memory, the amount of memory available to each session may vary and if less amount of memory is available for a session for sorting then TEMP tablespace is used
[1] Can we say paging happens and can be checked at this time?
[2] Is there a difference in handling memory while populating pl/sql tables?
As I have encountered ora-04030 while some our developers were populating pl/sql tables but never encountered this error for sorting, hash joins etc Though I don't remember the width of pl/sql table, I am sure the developer used 'LIMIT' clause during bulk collect and still faced the issue.
With a single session on the server, I noticed that the difference in values displayed issuing 'free' command in linux and output values from sesstat did not match at all while there wasn't any heavy OS process involved during the period. I was expecting 'used' and 'free' values displayed by free command (linux) will change and difference would be approximately equals 'before and after values of session pga memory.
[3] Isn't it expected to match?
[4] Can we say in dedicated server, at any moment of time, the SUM of 'session pga memory' represents all the memory used by Oracle SGA, at that point of time?
select sum(value)/1024/1024 "memory in MB" from v$sesstat where statistic#=20;
During one of the tests I got following output (divide value by 10 for my visibility and avoid formatting)
SQL> select a.name, to_char(b.value/10, '999,999,999') value
from v$statname a, v$mystat b
where a.statistic# = b.statistic#
and a.name like '%ga memory%'; 2 3 4
[code]...
The above query is showing above values even when the pl/sql block execution is completed 30 minutes back
[5] Do we call this as 'memory leak' where memory is not released even while some time has passed since session has done something?Of course I am not checking at OS level as mentioned in question [3] above the values won't match!
Still the output of free command for reference(After the pl/sql block executed)

[6] What could be the significance of negative values of 'session pga memory/max'?
Last We have an OLTP system and in the night we run batch processes in 2-4 sessions
Suppose I have 10 GB RAM and with PGA setting of 3.5 GB Now I want the batch process sessions to use max possible memory during nighttime and toggle the setting back in the morning
[7] With above settings (10 GB RAM and 3.5 GB PGA) how can I divide the memory among 4 sessions?
Shall I set 1) PGA_aggregate_target=0 2)Workarea_size_policy=manual 3) Sort_are_size 4) Hash_area_size

I have a procedure which mainly run queries on a Table which has nearly 9.5 million recodes. This procedures takes nearly 15 min to complete execution on our main database. I exported and imported the schema to our backup database and the same procedure just took 3 seconds to complete.
I tried to analyze the table in our main database and tried to execute the procedure again but did not show any improvements. ANALYZE TABLE DN_ACTIONS COMPUTE STATISTICS;
I am not sure computing the statistics for all the tables in the schema will work. I also checked there is enough disk space where oracle data files are stored. I am also turning on the sql trace to see what sql statements in the procedure is taking longer time.
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?
Customer is sending data from legacy system (Source) with the web service which in turn calls a package lying on Oracle server (Target). Now this package is simply inserting data passed by legacy system into master staging table in Oracle database. When they started this process in Sept 2011 then 4 lack records were inserted into staging table. In Oct 11 it was 0 records Nov 11 it was 2 lack records, Dec 11 it was 1 lack records, in Jan 12 it was 1 lac records, Feb 12 73k records, Mar 12 0 records, Apr 12 52k records.
As we see that number of records inserted in the table got reduced with time.. what should be the starting point here since web service is calling that package on the fly, how can i enable trace for that package? I cannot replicate this is Dev as this process is only working in PROD.
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 ?
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?

insight into the overheads for mutally authenticated SSL for database connections? This is over a fast local network, to a RAC cluster, with DB firewall in front. There's always a large element of "it depends"
Information I'm interested in are things like latency for initial session setup and subsequent data transfer. Also the increase in network packet size, and the increase in CPU cost for the database server. I guess there is some implications for session memory usage as well.

i am using 11.2.0.3 version of oracle. We have recently migrated to 11g, after 1 month of smooth and comparatively better performance, we are suddenly facing performance issues with our database and it got crashed twice within 5 days. even we didnt push any new code to our database in recent past, atleast after the 11G migration. And after getting feedback from the ORACLE corporation guys , they pointed out about the default database stats gathering job, which was eating most of the CPU, because of the default degree mentioned So it was running in 160 parallel threads causing resource starvation.so we reduce the degree of the stats gathering job to 8 .
But the database crashed again two days back, and rebooted within 3 mins to back to normal, even after this default degree changed to 8. This is happening due to any specific application related sql or anything else.
