It seems certain queries search by the number of days to ship(number of days between the order and shipping dates). What kind of index would improve the performance of these queries?
View 2 RepliesIn search queries generally we select 10-25 columns (more can't be displayed on the screen) from 5-10 tables
Say in case of insurance related application, the search might be on policy number, policy holder's first name, policy holder's last name, region, policy type etc.
And not to many columns we are displaying on the screen, say, 4 tables have collectively 4 * 20 = 80 columns, then we are displaying say 12-15 columns with 2-3 columns have aggregates on it.
since the search criteria (e.g. first name, last name, policy number etc.) is not known till last moment it will be a generic dynamic query
Is it possible that instead we create a Materialized view with query with only joining conditions but no filter conditions and selecting only columns to be displayed on the screen and then we will refresh the materialized view (to take care of recent business transactions) and fire refined query with filter criteria on this materialized view
Select col1,col2,col3,col4,col5
From tab1,tab2,tab3,tab4
Where tab1.col1=tab2.col1
And tab2.col2=tab3.col2
And tab2.col2=tab4.col2;
Will it improve performance of the search functionality
I have an issue with export(expdp).
When i exporting an user using expdp utility, the load the on the server is going up-to 5. The size of the database is 180GB. Below is the command that i use for export.
expdp sys/xxxx directory=dbpdump dumpfile=expdp_trk_backup.dmp logfile=expdp_trk_backup.log exclude=statistics schemas=trk
Do i need any look into any memory parameters for this?
Why do stored procedures and functions improve performance?
A. They reduce network round trips.
B. They reduce the number of calls to the database and decrease network traffic by bundling commands.
C. They reduce the number of calls to the database and decrease network traffic by using the local PL/SQL engine.
D. They allow the application to perform high-speed processing locally.
E. They postpone PL/SQL parsing until run time.
I think the answer should be A and B but i came across answers as B and E Can u explain me what is the difference between option A and B and does it postpone parsing till run time?
I have a big table in which we load about 37M recrods. We have informatica ETL which Loads the data in bulk Mode and creats index after completion. The data load takes about 1Hr and Index Creation takes about 1/2 hr. In total it takes about 90 to 95 Mnts.
Now I thought if Partition and Load paralley, It will improve perfromance. We did 4 partition and and each Partition about 9M records. The data load in Bulk mode is completing in 25 Mnts. Again When I am creating index over it, It is taking about 40 Mnts. and in Total Load time is 65 Mnts.
Is there way I can better performance to complete the load in 1/2 hr ?
I have a huge table (about 60 gb) partition over range. The index on this table is global index created on 4 columns together. I have a query which is running very slowly. The explain plan is showing the use of this global index.Explain plan is not showing pstart and pend because the index is global.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a query which had a join:
a.c1=b.c1 and a.c2=@var
where @var is user supplied input at runtime...We had a index on a.c2 . The CBO would use this index to generate an opitimised query plan.We found some records from table "b" were dropping due to inner join. So we made a change in join. It'd be like
a.c1(+)=b.c1 and nvl(a.c2,@var)=@var
This query is no longer using the index, instead its doing a full table scan causing the query to slowdown.I have tried creating index on nvl(a.c2,'31-dec-9999')
But the CBO won't use it.Anyway to create index on this col so that full table scan can be avoided?

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 am stuck with a query which is taking a lot of time to execute. Below is the pseudo code of the same:

We are using the below query to create a Materialized View but it has been running since 3 hours. It is an Oracle 9i database running in HP-UX.The quey is as follows,
(SELECT
/*+ use_nl(A) parallel (A,4)*/
A.ICD_CODE AS ICD_CODE,
A.ICD_DESC AS ICD_DESC,
A.PROC_GROUP as PROC_GROUP,
B.COMPL_ICD_CODE AS COMPL_ICD_CODE,
B.COMPL_GRP_TXT AS COMPL_GRP_TXT,
C.PROC_TYPE AS PROC_TYPE ,
[code]....
Using rownum in PL/SQL can significantly reduce performance and throughput of queries.
For example,
CODEselect *
from (select ...
from ...
join ... on ...
join ... on ...
left join ... on ...
where ...
group by ...)
where rownum < 500
takes much more time on a heavy loaded db than
CODEselect Y.*
from (
select X.*, rank() over(order by ...) rnk
from (select ...
from ...
join ... on ...
join ... on ...
left join ... on ...
where ...
group by ...) X) Y
where rnk < 500
I suspect it's because Oracle optimizer goals all_rows and first_rows.
Name some database tool from which I can check the SQL Queries which my application is running.
NOTE: I do not want to check the queries which I am executing at the SQL command prompt but queries that are being run by my application at the backend.

View 3 Replies View RelatedDoes 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.
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

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!

[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
[8] What would be approx values for parameter 3 and 4? will it be straight 3.5 GB/ 4?
We have a big hierarchical query which is now running for a long time (around 6 hours. earlier it was running for 3 hours). We have to tune this query so that we run the jobs within a stipulated time frame.

I would like to know if using varchar parameter in sql queries with number column can result in performance degrade.
Ex: Procedure testa ( myparam varchar) is
begin

end;
Here col no is a number column and myparam is varchar. I feel its better to change the parameter to number.

I read that few privilegs can not be granted to roles like 'UNLIMITED TABLESPACE ' and they need to granted to user directly.

2. what kind of privileges cant be assigned to roles.

I am working on a query for a feedback response system which is going to be targeted at the common case when the user only want the most recent 10-20 rows in the feedback table. My though is to create an index on the date column, do a sort in an inner query and rownum <= in an outer query. This works as I expect when I am only querying the main table (lookup by index with a stop key), but when I start joining the main table to attribute tables I end up with a full table scan of the main table with the stop key applied after all the joins are completed, the index is nowhere to be found.
CREATE TABLE attr1_tbl(attr1_id NUMBER NOT NULL, attr1 VARCHAR2(10) NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT attr1_pk PRIMARY KEY (attr1_id));
CREATE TABLE attr2_tbl(attr2_id NUMBER NOT NULL, attr2 VARCHAR2(10) NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT attr2_pk PRIMARY KEY (attr2_id));
CREATE TABLE attr3_tbl(attr3_id NUMBER NOT NULL, attr3 VARCHAR2(10) NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT attr3_pk PRIMARY KEY (attr3_id));
[code]....
One thing I noticed was that when no data is selected from the attribute tables, even if they are joined in the query, the CBO throws them out of the plan and only accesses the main table. With the foreign keys this makes sense and really just disqualified my first thought that maybe I was missing a foreign key or not null constraint somewhere.
I also added the cardinality hint to overcome the chance that in my test case there was so little data that index access is not worth it.
I am going through this scenario:
* 35 | ID TABLE ACCESS BY INDEX ROW | S_ORG_EXT | 3064K| 2472M| | 1 (0)| 00:00:01 |
| 36 | INDEX FULL SCAN | S_ORG_EXT_U1 | 14 | | | 1 (0)| 00:00:01 |
Predicate Information (identified by operation id):
---------------------------------------------------
35 - filter("T2"."ACCNT_FLG"<>'N' AND ("T2"."INT_ORG_FLG"<>'Y' OR "T2"."PRTNR_FLG"<>'N'))
This unselective index scan on step 36 of the explain is returning 14 rows but optimizer is selecting 3064 K rows from the table .
I tried creating combined index on all 3 columns mentioned in the predicates for 35th step , but that is not utilized .
how to index this whole expression ::--
(ACCNT_FLG<>'N' AND (INT_ORG_FLG<>'Y' OR PRTNR_FLG<>'N'))
Something like CREATE INDEX XYZ on table((ACCNT_FLG<>'N' AND (INT_ORG_FLG<>'Y' OR PRTNR_FLG<>'N')) compute statistics ;
is there any way to reduce the index creation time.
in my case one index creation took 5 minute and there are 5 indexes , so it took 25 minutes.
I have the following problem. When I used in the IN-Statement fixed values e.q. 197321,197322,197323 ..., the index i_tab2_index works fine (index range scan).
But when I used in the IN-Statement an Sub-Select, the index i_tab2_index doesn't work (fast full scan)!My scale indices and used Selects:
CREATE INDEX i_tab1_index ON tab1 ( datum, flag_inst );
CREATE INDEX i_tab2_index ON tab2 ( tab2Idx, kontro );
SELECT count(epidx) as rowAnz
FROM tab2
WHERE tab2Idx IN ( SELECT tab1IDX FROM tab1
