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.
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.
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?
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.

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 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 ?
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.

Why there could sudden spike of demand on UNDO data in Active Data Guard ?
We are experiencing Network waits on one of our 2-node clustered databases...In every 1 hour of clock time we are finding 700-900 seconds of Network waits
From the AWR data I find that "ARCH wait on SENDREQ" is one of the main constituent for these Network waits and as such I suspect Network between Production database and its corresponding database might be slow
Question 1) Does this understanding look correct?
Question 2) Apart from the above what could be the other causes of the Network waits. Can we point out any particular area from following AWR extract...Seeing some gc* waits initially I thought it might be due to slow interconnect between the cluster nodes but some google search denotes it is not the case...So what could be other causes? I mean which network link I would check?

Following query is hanging either with 'Sequential access read' or 'Latch Free' wait event Important thing is the table which is self joined in subquery here does not have any index at all While it was hanged I tried to get trace of it and terminated twice. As such haven't got 'row source generataion' The table has only 120000 records and it shall update 34000 records
UPDATE invoice_header inv
SET inv.modified_due_date =
(SELECT inv1.btn_due_date
FROM invoice_header inv1
WHERE inv.dct_code = inv1.dct_code AND inv1.release = 'A5')
[code]...
During 'sequential read' using p1,p2 values tried to get what the session is reading and found that it is using the table itself.
During lath free I found following
SELECT name, 'Child '||child#, gets, misses, sleeps
FROM v$latch_children
WHERE addr= (select p1raw from v$session_wait where sid=18)
UNION
[code]...
However instead of self join when I creaed global temporary table as
create global temporary table t as select * from invoice_header where release='A5'
And used it in the update as
UPDATE invoice_header inv
SET inv.modified_due_date =
(SELECT t.btn_due_date
FROM t
WHERE inv.dct_code = t.dct_code AND t.release = 'A5')
WHERE inv.release = 'A5' AND inv.btn_due_date >= TRUNC (SYSDATE)
It updated the records in a second!!
Questions are
1) why it is producing 'sequential read' wait event when there is no index access or else why it is doing single block access when FTS is required?
2) Why is the 'latch free' wait event here and what it indicates here with 'cache buffer handles'?
Is it because we are reading and updating the same segment?
know in case DDL of table is required. It has all nullable columns and no index at all. Since it is 9i I am unable to use MERGE effectively in this case
Is db_cache_advice = ON still necessary when sga_target is set?
View 2 Replies View RelatedIn 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 have OEl 5.5 installed and patched. I have my SSD mounted..
but when i ran the command 'alter system set db_flash_cache_file ='/media/ssd/' scope=spfile;'
It wouldn't startup giving ORA-01078: failure in processing system parameters...
I'm trying to demonstrate the working of the OCI client result cache. I've set some parameters,orcl> sho parameter result_cache

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).
how can we check the size of data buffer cache.

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.
1)If i issue a DELETE statement to delete a row, will this statement drag any data from the datafile to database buffer? How is the change made by a DELETE statement recorded in buffer cache? How is this change then applied to the data in datafiles after commit?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI 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?
What is the difference between cache fusion and Cache Coherency. Both are same or different functionality.
