Performance Tuning :: Parallel Operations Not Executing With Expected Degree
Apr 2, 2012
I am executing a sql statement which is doing FTS in parallel mode The server has 8 cpus and threads_per_cpu is 2
The v$sql shows PX_SERVERS_EXECUTIONS as 8
select PX_SERVERS_EXECUTIONS, sql_text from v$sql where sql_id='0q0nk5117yth2'
8, select /*+ full(a) parallel(a)....
however the px_sessions shows 17 sessions (16 parallel session + 1 parent session (where sid = qcsid) Now in px_sessions, these 16 parallel session are divided in 2 server sets 1 and 2 and values for degree and required degree are 8 and 16 respectively
However, all the time, only 8 sessions which belong to server set = 1, were active though its state was waiting with event "PX Deq Credit: send blkd"
The other session which belong to server set = 2 were never active and always had waint event ='PX Deq: Execution Msg'
what could be the reason that 16 parallel session could not be started though I am the only person using the server, there aren't any batch jobs, dbms_jobs,even archivelogs (not a prod system)?
Note that paralel_max_servers setting is 16
Another issue being the duing start of the query approximately 100-115 blocks were read for the query (checked from longops) however after 60-70% blocks are read the number of blocks read / seconds falls down to 10-20 blocks / second across all parallel sessions.

If we have not set parallel degree for a table then we can ( try to ) force parallel execution on a table using a parallel hint Does this 'parallelism' works on the index search in the query as well?
In which situations non-parallel non-partitioned table but parallel index (degree>2) will facilitate a query?

Doing some data conversion at the moment and using V$SESSION_LONGOPS to predict when the current task will be finished so I can run the next one.
V$SESSION_LONGOPS seems to have only the last 16 long operations for the session. Older operations are automatically purged. My bigger tables have 32 partitions, so after the first 16 are processed, I cannot tell which partition I am up to.
Googling "old longops" and "longops history" didn't work, nor did the same searches on this site. The Oracle Reference manual section on V$SESSION_LONGOPS did not mention that older entries are purged.

I am inserting 50 million records into a table MAIL_LOG. I am using the hint /*+ append parallel (MAIL_LOG, 12) */. But for my table degree is 1.
SELECT table_name, degree
FROM user_tables
WHERE table_name = 'MAIL_LOG';
I have following clarifications.
1) What degree I should use.
2) On what basis I have to give the degree.
3) Have we use constant degree all the times.
4) How to check my insert statement is using parallel degree.
5) How to find the degree at session level.

I want to make sure I am describing correctly what happens in a query where there is distributed database access and it is participating in a NESTED LOOPS JOIN. Below is an example query, the query plan output, and the remote SQL information for such a case. Of particular note are line#4 (NESTED LOOPS) and line#11 (REMOTE TABLE_0002).
What I want to know is more detail on how this NESTED LOOPS JOIN handles the remote operation. For example, for each row that comes out of line#5 and is thus going into the NESTED LOOPS JOIN operation @line#4, does the database jump across the network to do the remote loopkup? Thus if there are 1 million rows, does that mean 1 million network hops? Does batchsize play a role? For example, if the database batches in groups of 100 then does that mean 10 thousand network hops?
I think each row that comes out of line#5 means a network hop to the remote database. But I do not know for a fact.I have done some abbreviating in the plan in an attempt to make it fit on the page (line#7 TA = TABLE ACCESS).
SELECT A.POLICY ,
F.MIN_MEMBER_ID,
MIN(A.EFF_DATE) EFF_DATE,
A.EXP_DATE ,
G.DESCRIPTION PROGRAM_NAME,

I have been told that i should use multiple's of 4 as degree in the parallel hint to get maximum performance, so i am wondering is it true? that i should always use multiples of 4 or i can use any number inside the parallel hint.

I have table A with size 120 Million and two more tables are of size 2 Million on Table B and less than 1 Million size on table C.I had created Partition and Parallel degree 4 on the table A. Created table B with Parallel degree 2 and Created table C with NOPARALLEL.
My query is using above tables with joins and inserting into table D using HINT /*+ APPEND NOLOGGING*/I had executed the explain on the above criteria the cost is showing 20767.
Later created Tables A,B and C with NOPARALLEL. Applied HINT on Table D /*+ APPEND NOLOGGING*/ and als applied HINT /*+ PARALLEL(A, 4) PARALLEL(B C, 2) on select query which uses to insert into Table D.
My question which is best practice on PARALLEL degree creation at table level or query level:
a) Creating table with Paralle (degree 4)
b) Applying HINT /*+ PARALLEL (TABLE A , 4) */ at query level

In my recent performance improvement tasks I was experimenting with Parallel hints. I have been getting good results with them, however the question arises "How is Parallel degree proportionate to number of CPUs used during execution?
/*+ parallel(emp_tab,8) */
Oracle Version: Oracle 10g
OS : UNIX
Client OS: Windows XP
V$PARAMETER VARIABLES as follows:
Total CPUs available: 10
No of CPUs per core: 2
Max parallel : 100
Min Parallel : 5
Question 1: So how do I map the degree of 8 with CPUs. I believe that degree of 8 does not mean its going to use 8 CPUs. If so, how do I prove it. I tried SQL_TRACE and cpu comes 0. And I believe its not the CPU count.
Question2: How do I know how many CPUs were used to execute a SQL query ?

I am inserting data into a global temporary table and then using 'parallel' hint to query from this temporary table. I remember reading that the queries on the temp table may not run in parallel as the parallel sessions may not be able to see the data in the temporary table
However the execution plan as well as px_session, v$sql indicate that the query on the temporary table in fact run in parallel mode

Does parallel hint works in cursor queries? The cursor query is something like :
cursor c is
select /*+ parallel(s,8) */
from table ref_tab s ---- >>
<where condition>;
The table ref_tab hold data for a single day at any point of time and gets truncate before loading the next days data.On average the table holds around 7 million rows and doesn't contains any index (think that's fine as all together we are loading the whole set).And, we are using bulk logic with save exceptions to open the cursor and load the data into the target table.

refer following sql statements and code
Session 1
create table tab1 as select * from dba_objects where object_id is not null;
alter session set events '10046 trace name context forever, level 12';
declare
x number;
begin
for i in 1..4
loop
[code]....
Session 2
after "starting" the above pl/sql block from Session 1, I keep on querying tab2 from Session 2 And as soon as 2 records are inserted in tab2, I create index from Session 2
select * from tab2;
select * from tab2;
select * from tab2;
N
----------
1
2
create index i on tab1(object_id);
As I have tested from a single session (just before this test) such index is used for the sql statement
select count(1) into x from tab1 where object_id=2331;
However when I checked the trace file I am not geeting results as expected
I am expecting 4 execution plans - 2 FTS and 2 Index Access scans and for this I am issuing following command
tkprof dst1_ora_7369.trc dst1_ora_7369.txt aggregate=no sys=no
But unfortunately I am getting following output
SELECT COUNT(1)
FROM
TAB1 WHERE OBJECT_ID=2331
call count cpu elapsed disk query current rows
------- ------ -------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ----------
Parse 1 0.00 0.00 0 1 0 0
Execute 4 0.00 0.00 0 2 0 0
[code]....
1) Why I am unable to see 4 execution plans - 2 with FTS and 2 with Index access when I mentioned 'aggregate=no'?
2) Whether the index i will be used for last 2 iterations after first 2 iterations of FTS?
If answer to above question 2) is 'No'
By which method I can force an ongoing sql statement in loop to take different execution path? Of course I can't hard parse sql in 'that' current session Will flushing Shared pool work in above case?

There is a detail table
There is a summary table
During batch process record is entered in detail table as well as summary table.
The process first checks if record exists in summary table for same group_no and if 'yes' then "updates" the record with the newly added amount (sums it) else inserts a new record
Whereas in the detail table it inserts the record directly
detail table :
group_no doc_no amount
101 doc1 100
101 doc2 200
102 doc3 300
102 doc4 400
summary table :
group_no amount
101 300
102 700
Now if the batch process runs in parallel, (out of many) two different sessions insert same group_no; This is because while sesond session inserts a record, first session inserting the same record (group_no) has not yet committed ; So second session Not knowing that already there is same Group_no (101) inserted, again inserts another record with same group_no rather than summing it.
Can it be solved without using temp table, select for update?

Background: We are migrating a lot of databases from one SAN appliance to another. We are doing this by adding new disks from the new SAN appliance to the existing disk groups, re balancing, removing the old disks from the disk groups, and then re balancing again.
Question: If I execute two ALTER commands with the same power on 2 or more separate disk groups, do both operations start executing right away? Or do they queue up and execute one after another?
I ask because we would like to queue up several re-balances so we don't have DBAs watching status bars all day.

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?

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 ?

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.

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'
