I am trying to find some way how to tune and optimize the server performance in following situation. There are 100s of sessions inserting records to one table. Sessions are communication threads in java application, each thread is receiving messages that are to be stored in the table. Each message must be commited and then is ACK sent to remove client. Two problems are raising of course - much of ITLs on the table and lots of very small transactions. I can adjust the java application, but cant do much about the design.
I was thinking about some "caching" - if the messages are stored in memory and bulk-inserted to database by single thread the performance would be much higher. However, there would be possible loss of data - the message could be lost from memory cache and client already received ACK.
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?
I'm working on a query that will show how many differents SKUs we have on-hand, how many of those SKUs have been cycle-counted, and how many we have yet to cycle-count.I've prepared a sample table and data:
CREATE TABLE SKU
(
ABC VARCHAR2(1 CHAR),
SKU VARCHAR2(32 CHAR) NOT NULL,
Lastcyclecount DATE,
[code]....
What I also want to do is select another column that will group by sku.abc and count the total number of A, B, and C SKUs where the lot.qty is > 0:
SELECT sk.abc AS "STRATA",
COUNT (DISTINCT sk.sku) AS "Total"
FROM sku sk,
(SELECT sku
FROM lot
WHERE qty > 0) item
WHERE item.sku = sk.sku(+)
GROUP BY sk.abc
Finally, I need the last column to display the DIFFERENCE between the two totals from the queries above (the difference between the "counted" and the "total"):
COUNT (DISTINCT sk.sku) - COUNT (DISTINCT s.sku)
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?
In PL\SQL program, I am writing information from one table to file. In my current architecture, I am writing the information to approximately 1000 files.

We are currently using OCI to connect to Oracle DB using c language. Each process has its own dedicated Connection and Env handle, session handle ...
Right now we decided to use Connection Pooling. In the documentation , Connection pooling examples were using multi-threaded environment. But in our case its multi-process system and we cant modify products architecture to multi-thread.
I would like to know how we can use Connection Pooling on multiple processes.
I work in a large bank in a department that produces reports for different areas of the bank. By and large, we use Microsoft Office products to interface with our Oracle databases.Recently, we had two new databases come online that use Oracle 11g - we were not using any 11g databases before this point. We have two other databases that we use that run on Oracle 10g.
Up until the two new databases were brought in, our reporting was done from systems that used 10g and 9I. We all ran the Oracle 9I driver to connect to them, and it worked very well without issue. With the addition of the 11g databases to our reporting pool, we have been forced to upgrade our ODBC connections to the 11g driver, and it has not gone well at all. I had one query that typically ran in 30 minutes take +13 hours+ to run yesterday. Speed is not the only issue, either; we have sporadic ODBC call fails, crashes, and other general failures to deal with.
Our Oracle DBAs have been trying to solve the issue, but have not yet found a solution, and each day that this goes on we fall further and further behind, as I have daily time-sensitive reports to send out that depend on this data.
One of our DBAs said she read somewhere that Oracle had not included MS Access support in the 11g driver, and that the errors were due to the imperfect connection that the driver created. I don't know of there's any truth to that, but it would provide an explanation for our troubles. We have to use Access for our reporting, as over 90% of our existing reports and processes use Access, and having to change over everything at once is just not feasible.
Is there any way to force the 9I and 11g ODBC connections to coexist, so that we don't have to use the 11g driver for our 10g databases? Or is there a better 11g driver available?

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 have one big database which I need to migrate to Oracle, because it rocks with big databases, instead of other databases and when I was made transfer software and all works great except one more think. During this process I found that Oracle normally fill log & undo table, and my question is how to migrate (or can I migrate) database to oracle without filling undo database (deactivate this process) and after that to put database to work normally, because I just need to transfer data as is and from that point Oracle goes on...
View 4 Replies View Relatedi 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.

We have database with multiple fields containing NULL values and in many queries we have NVL function which in turn is suppressing the index usage when in fact it is really essential (selectying very few rows from massive data) instead of creating lot of Function based indexes (NVL) or composite indexes with (nullable_column, constant) I am thinking of settting a default value for most of the fields In that regard I have some queries :
Which approach is better - setting default value for the fields or updating the fields with default value and modyfing inserts to take care of future data? Though altering table and modifing column to set default value looks better considering it will take care of data inserted in the future, it will invalidate the subroutines.I understand in 10g both statement will generate lot of undo (though in 11g, I heard things changed for setting default value of a column) How to take care of all the queries which are using the criteria 'where column1 IS NULL' or 'where column1 IS NOT NULL'. It will be really difficult task to manually change each and every occurrence of such condition even using user_source.
Finally for numeric values say for ID field which starts from 1 onwards 2,3,4 etc, we can set 0 as sensible default so that the performance is not affected.
Is there such precaution for varchar2 field purely from performance point of view?

View 4 Replies View RelatedAs there was a database performance, we started to analyse the issue by running ADDM using below.
@?/rdbms/admin/addmrpt.sql.
The result of running ADD is below.
DETAILED ADDM REPORT FOR TASK 'TASK_64718' WITH ID 64718

There was no significant database activity to run the ADDM.The database's maintenance windows were active during 100% of the analysis period.The analysis of I/O performance is based on the default assumption that the average read time for one database block is 10000 micro-seconds. An explanation of the terminology used in this report is available when you run the report with the 'ALL' level of detail.
Current parameters set in database are below
statistics_level ---- string
timed_statistics --- boolean
1.Do i need to set the initialization parameter to some other value?
2.should i run the below command before executing the ADD report ? exec dbms_workload_repository.create_snapshot();
I support to get a handle on statistics collectionn in their data warehouses. It seems developers have created several ANALYZE TABLE jobs but the code for these is not stored as PLSQL in the database and thus it is problematic for statistics collection. Even if we collect stats that way we want, these jobs kick in and overlay the statistics we collect every day.
Is there a way to AUDIT ANALYZE TABLE? I can't find it anywhere.
Is there a way to globally turn of ANALYZE TABLE in a 9i database?

All the analysis till now on our system proves that our system is clearly I/O bound and db sequential read is the biggest culprit.
We have even identified the index which is being affected by sequential read. I am thinking of creating a new tablespace with 32K blocksize (currently all table spaces are 8k) and migrate this index to the new space. That way, Oracle will have to do less number of reads to get the required data.
But is there anything wrong in having just one tablespace with a differnt block size? Or is there anything that I have to be watchful about while doing it?
