Performance Tuning :: XML / XPath Rewrites And Plan Baselines?

Oct 29, 2013

The types of query I refer to in the title are of this pseudo-code ilk:

select t.column_value
from table1 o, xmltable('for $co in $data
where $co/path1=$bind1
and $co/path2=$bind2
passing o.field as "data", :b1 as "bind1", :b2 as "bind2") t
where o.field = :b3

They're querying a table with a (binary) xmltype with a path/domain index over this column.As those who have had the (mis)fortune to run into these will know, the queries are extensively rewritten under the covers to access to xml via the paths supplied.

getting a baseline to work with queries like this? I was suspicious because whilst I can hint it to pick a certain access path first (leading()), the plan hashes remain the same.

I'm not sure, however, if I'm simply "doing it wrong" or it is just not possible with the level of recursive rewriting going on.NB: I consider myself reasonably competent in applying baselines to "traditional" queries...

Performance Tuning :: Different Execution Plan In Different DB

Jul 20, 2013

Why the query is behaving differently with the different database.(execution plan)

Whatever the production database is having same database instance replicated to a new schema. I tried both the queries running on both environment.In prod the index has been used but in newdev it is not. This case existing primary key index were not been used.

Performance Tuning :: Execution Plan Of SQL Statement

Mar 25, 2012

I have queries on the execution plan of a sql statement

Following is the example

create table t1 as select s1.nextval id,a.* from dba_objects a;
create table t2 as select s2.nextval id,a.* from dba_objects a;
insert into t1 select s1.nextval id,a.* from dba_objects a;
insert into t1 select s1.nextval id,a.* from dba_objects a;
insert into t2 select s2.nextval id,a.* from dba_objects a;
insert into t2 select s2.nextval id,a.* from dba_objects a;
insert into t2 select s2.nextval id,a.* from dba_objects a;
commit;

create index i1 on t1(id);
create index i2 on t2(id);
create index i11 on t1(object_type);

exec dbms_stats.gather_table_stats(user,'T1',cascade=>true);
exec dbms_stats.gather_table_stats(user,'T2',cascade=>true);

select count(*) from t1 where object_type='VIEW';

COUNT(*)
----------
8934

set autotrace traceonly explain

Can we say in the following case, that,

(1) First index on object_type is accessed to get rowids - t1.object_type='VIEW'
(2) Then the filter on owner is applied - t1.owner='SYS'
(3) Then the table T1 is accessed to fetch data from the rowids returned by the index I11 and filer application - TABLE ACCESS BY INDEX ROWID

Though I am unable to understand how filter can be applied to the rowids retrieved from index, we can see from the plan below that The rows accessed have reduced from 8550 to 1221 before we access the table...Thus filter "t1.owner='SYS'" is applied in between. Right?

another question is

Case 1 - do we retrieve a rowid from index for a given value, then retrieve required values from table for that rowid
Thus row at a time in both ... in loop
OR
Case 2 - we first fetch all rowids from index and then retrieve values from table one row at a time from the collection of rowids fetched?

Suppose Case 1 is what is happening then can we say, both the steps mentioned by IDS 2,3 in plan below are executed exactly equal number of times and the filter "t1.owner='SYS'" is applied at some later stage? Of course in this case the values in ROWS stand misleading then

select * from t1,t2 where t1.id = t2.id and t1.object_type='VIEW' and t1.owner='SYS';

Performance Tuning :: SQL Execution Plan Different On Different Hardware

Oct 31, 2012

So the situation is like this

- Database A (20 tables)
- Database B (20 tables)

- Both A and B are Oracle 11gR2

- Both of these databases run on different hardware (A is a VM, B is on a physical host)

- The 20 tables in A and B have exactly same number of rows and after preparing the data, the schemas were analysed using the same DBMS_STATS parameters

Despite this, the execution plans appear to be quite different for the same queries between A and B

I imagine there is something outside of the Oracle table rowcounts, table stats, column stats, index stats that's resulting in the different execution plans.

Performance Tuning :: Achieve Same Execution Plan?

Apr 30, 2012

refere to below 2 queries and their execution plans:

First Query
INSERT INTO temp_vendor(vendor_record_seq_no,checksum,rownumber,transaction_type,iu_flag)
SELECT /*+ USE_NL ( vd1 ,vd2 ,vd3 ) leading ( vd1 ,vd2 ,vd3 , tvd) */
vd1.vendor_record_seq_no, tvr.checksum, tvr.rownumber, tvr.transaction_type, 'U'
FROM vendor_data vd1,

[code]...

Second Query
SELECT vd1.vendor_record_seq_no, tvr.checksum, tvr.rownumber, tvr.transaction_type, 'U'
FROM ( select * from vendor_data vd1
where vd1.study_seq_no = 99903
AND vd1.control_column_seq_no = 435361232

[code]...

Both are to achieve same output but written in different ways. CAn I get same exectuion plan from 1st query as there is for 2nd using hints

Performance Tuning :: Execution Plan Changing With Same SQL Profile

Mar 5, 2013

One of our clients is using Rule Based Optimizer on Oracle 10.2.0.3.0

2-3 weeks backs, during performance issue in one of the sql queries, one of our team members executed tuning adviser for it, created SQL profile and the subsequent execution of the SQL did not took much time (less I/O). Now it took hardly a minute to execute

When this happened I checked that the SQL profile forced that particular query to use CBO (say plan_hash_value is PHV1 here). Yesterday the same query again took 15-20 minutes for execution. I checked that even for this execution the query used the same SQL profile but "this time" with different plan_hash_value - say PHV2.

Today again the query executed in less than a minute and used the plan_hash_value as PHV1.

select distinct plan_hash_value,timestamp from dba_hist_sql_plan where sql_id='mysqlid' order by 1,2;

PLAN_HASH_VALUE TIMESTAMP
--------------- --------------------
890360113 20-feb-2013 16:38:39
3736413466 04-mar-2013 08:12:52
1237282258 03-jan-2013 17:15:02

I confirmed from awrsqrpt as well that different plans were used for different plan_hash_values and every time same SQL profile was used

SQL> select name,CATEGORY,SIGNATURE,CREATED,LAST_MODIFIED,TYPE,STATUS,FORCE_MATCHING from dba_sql_profiles;

NAME CATEGORY SIGNATURE CREATED LAST_MODIFIED TYPE STATUS FOR
------------------------------ ------------------------------ ---------- -------------------- -------------------- --------- -------- ---
SYS_SQLPROF_015ffffcc3e1c5b000 DEFAULT 1.5512E+19 20-feb-2013 16:30:48 20-feb-2013 16:30:48 MANUAL ENABLED NO

I am unable to understand how execution plan and thus plan_hash_value is changing for the same SQL Profile. I read that SQL Profile (unlike stored outline) keeps up with increasing data volume and may not keep up with changing data distribution.

I checked that values for 4 bind variables out of 81 are different for execution between today and yesterdays' run(queried v$sql_bind_capture based on last_captured)

My questions are
1) does the different plan_hash_values with different execution plans for query using same SQL profile mean the query was hard parsed multiple times and still used the same SQL profile?
2) If that is the case why I never saw child_number = 1 in any of the views for the same sql_id. I tried it repeatedly over last 2 weeks and always found child_number=0 in v$sql (also loaded_versions=1)
3) Does the different values of bind variable are causing this flip-flop of the plans? How can I conclude this?

I have 2 plans with 2 different plan_hash_values. I know which would be better. How can I force the sql to use better plan in the two in this case where I am using Rule Based Optimizer and have SQL profile created If this is not possible then how can I create stored outline from the existing plan (not waiting for subsequent execution to take place).

Performance Tuning :: Same Query With Different Explain Plan In Two Database?

Aug 17, 2012

I am facing a weird situation wherein the explain plan of same sql in SIT and PROD is different.In fact the explain plan is very costly in Prod.Also the DB version of both SIT and PROD is same.

Below is the sql and corresponding explain plan in Prod and SIT respectively.

Query:
SELECT seq,CCN,ProcessorPart,root_item,comp_path,Item,comp_item,comp_item_type,
lag(comp_item_type,1,'PART') over(PARTITION BY seq ORDER BY lvl)Nxt_comp_item_type,lvl,bom_qty,
ROUND(CASE min(abs(bom_qty)) OVER (PARTITION BY seq ORDER BY lvl)
WHEN 0 THEN 0 ELSE 1 END * EXP (SUM (LN (nullif(abs(bom_qty),0))) OVER (PARTITION BY seq ORDER BY lvl))) Ulti_qty,
'AMER'

[code]...

The tables referred in above query is small tables containing arnd 10k records.The above tables are partitioned on Region and not indexed.

Explain Plan in Prod: COST CARDINALITY BYTES

SELECT STATEMENT, GOAL = ALL_ROWS165173613539322883634804
SORT UNIQUE236360
UNION-ALL
PARTITION LIST SINGLE117240

[code]...

Explain Plan in SIT: COST CARDINALITY BYTES

SELECT STATEMENT, GOAL = ALL_ROWS3211689
SORT UNIQUE347240
UNION-ALL
PARTITION LIST SINGLE172120

[code]...

I am not able to attribute why there is a huge change in Cost between SIT and Prod.Apparently the Job is going for 3-5 hours which used to get completed within 20mins in SIT.

Performance Tuning :: Explain Plan - %CPU Seems To Be Worse For JOIN Near Top?

Oct 24, 2011

however I was able to identify a poorly performing query that seemed to be maxing out our CPU. I have been trying to understand the Explain Plan. The plan below is from our test system which has considerably less information in the tables than our PROD system.

I can see there are a bunch of table scans at the end which may indicate missing indexes, but I am unclear on whether this is actually a problem as the %CPU seems to be worse for the JOIN near the top of the plan.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Id | Operation | Name | Rows | Bytes |TempSpc| Cost (%CPU)| Time | Inst |IN-OUT|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Performance Tuning :: Change In Explain Plan Due To Oracle Upgrade

Dec 14, 2010

I need to warn readers that I am not a DBA but am heavily involved in application development. Whatever I know about database tuning is whatever I've managed to pick up via self-learning, and I must admit that the sum total of my knowledge isn't a lot.

Anyway, our "DBAs" recently did an upgrade to our 10g database, going from version 10.2.0.2.0 to 10.2.0.4.0. Immediately after the upgrade, a particular query has started to under-perform. The query itself was not altered in any way during the upgrade.

We have two explain plans for the query, a before and an after plan. The two plans are similar but not identical. The plans are too massive to post here, so I hope the following synopsis of the differences will do.

The 10.2.0.2.0 plan:

shows a HASH GROUP BY
has a TempSpc column in the explain plan
shows a particular table (EMP_HISTORY) as having ~1700 rows

The 10.2.0.4.0 plan:

shows SORT GROUP BY instead of HASH GROUP BY does not show a TempSpc column in the explain plan shows the EMP_HISTORY table as having only 25 rows

Other than these points, no other discernible differences can be noted. I'm wondering what would cause HASH to change to SORT. I'm told that stats are up-to-date.

Performance Tuning :: How To Change Execution Plan Of Currently Executing Statement

Feb 8, 2011

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?

Performance Tuning :: Explain Plan Analysis - Execution Ordering

Jul 21, 2010

I have two Oracle instances that are setup identically.When I run a query on one of them, it takes around 3 seconds, on the other it takes around 200 seconds.

I have looked at the explain plans, and it has shown me what I think is the problem. On one instance, it does a join on two tables, then runs the other filter/access predicates. On the other instance it runs the filter/access predicated first, then does the expensice join. The one that does the join first is the one that takes around 200 seconds. How to tell Oracle to make this join after runnning the other predicates?

My question shouldn't the high volume of data causes changes in plan in both the environment? My thinking is that plan can be different as the high volume of data are changing in prod it may lead to a different plan.

since the optimizer (during explain plan) assumes all bind variable to be of varchar type, while checking plan for SQL statement using bind variable of numeric and date type shall we convert (typecast) it as following?

exec dt_joining := '12-dec-2005'
select first_name from emp_data where sal=to_number(n_sal) and joining=to_date(dt_joining);

Performance Tuning :: Syntax To Pass Hint To Emulate Good Attached Plan?

Aug 16, 2012

I have an APP that truncates tables and loads data, which in turn makes the stats stale. I ran the query advisor (see attachment) and of course it ecommends running stats or accept a profile.I really don't want to do that as it may cause a load on my DB.

In turn, I would like to consider having my APP team change the query to pass a hint to use the best query plan.syntax to pass the hint to emulate good attached plan? Or is this a bad way to proceed?

select /* INDEX FAST FULL SCAN PK_PLACEMENT_REQUEST_QUEUE */
sum(lastshares) as "ROSEN"
from nyeo.fix_exec_reports fer, nyeo.placement_request_queue q,
nyeo.nyeo_block_control bc
where fer.clordid = q.sequence_number

Performance Tuning :: Why Elapsed Time Changed While Execution Plan And Stats Remains The Same

AND crt.ID = odr.crt_id_quote_implemented
AND NVL (odr.cancellation_date, '31-Dec-9999') = '31-Dec-9999'

[code]....

we have 4 databases, 2 on each servers, such that db1 and db2 on server1 and db3 and db4 on server2

refer count of the records for column of biggest table in the query, taken on all 4 databases (The column is nullable)

select count(*) from company_requirements crt WHERE crt.qtn_cun_id = 10035637
db1 = 73335
db2 = 89073
db3 = 81182
db4 = 82936

First I executed the query on db1 and db2 while there wasn't any user logged on to the system

db1
**********
call count cpu elapsed disk query current rows
------- ------ -------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ----------
Parse 1 0.06 0.08 0 0 0 0

Elapsed times include waiting on following events:

latch free 1 0.00 0.00
SQL*Net message from client 1 14.98 14.98

[code]...

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

What I should have checked or monitored?

Performance Tuning :: Using Stats Table Instead Of Regular Stats To Get Plan?

Jan 27, 2011

DBMS_STATS.CREATE_STATS_TABLE
DBMS_STATS.EXPORT_SCHEMA_STATS
DBMS_STATS.GATHER_TABLE_STATS

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.

Performance Tuning :: Tools For Database Tuning And Instance Tuning

Jul 12, 2010

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?

Scripting Workload Baselines

Jun 17, 2011

I am making a lot of changes in my data ware house environment and management is not concerned about the performance gains on a change by change basis. What they are looking for is numbers based on a time period.

I recently modified snapshot settings to hold 90 days information instead of the default of 30 days:

dbms_workload_repository.modify_snapshot_settings (
interval => 30,
retention => 129600 );

Is there something I can do that will let me take snapshots on the first and last day of each month so if I wanted I can compare April to lets say August. I think there is something in OEM that allows you to do something similar but I am looking for something I can place in a shell script that will allow me to gather the information I need.

PL/SQL :: Obtaining Execution Plan Of Currently Executing Plan In 9i

Jun 15, 2012

the most accurate/efficient way of obtaining the execution plan for a piece of running SQL in Oracle 9i. in 10g and 11g obviously dbms_xplan.display_cursor(sql_id) can be used,

How can this be achieved in 9i, currently I am simply obtaining the SQL_TEXT and then running an explain plan ("EXPLAIN PLAN FOR..") - I believe this is not necessarily the same explain plan that will be used for the sql that is executing though

Performance Tuning :: How Length Of Column Width Effects Index Performance

Sep 30, 2010

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'.

Performance Tuning :: Fragmentation Can Reduce Performance In Query Times

Jun 16, 2010

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?
