I have a standalone DB of version 10.2.04.I am facing log file parallel write as one of the top events.I have increased the REDO log file size to 500m.But even then REDO switching is happening frequently.

I would like to make a change on the live system!I have read a book and found a information about REDO log file size is impact on DB performance.My DB current log file size is 100 MB. But, Oracle 10g's Redo Logfile Sizing Advisor offer the optimal log file size is 1845 MB.What REDO log file size is best for my Oracle database?
#Optimal log file size:

I try to current redo log file location to multiplex redo log configuration. I did do this on the DB.I import a backup file to DB when I made this change, but its too slow running import process from old configuration. Approximately it is 4 times slow.
when I recovery old configuration for redo log file, import process is normal running...Why this changes hit to DB import process performance? The old redo log file location is below:
GROUP#MEMBERBYTES
4"/crtest1/oradata/redo04a.log"524288000
4"/crtest1/oradata/redo04b.log"524288000

Although i have removed current online redo log file in linux os (Oracle Linux),when i type "commit" it says that "commit complete".
Is this fair for this princip?*:" if Only when all redo records associated with a given transaction are safely on disk in the online logs is the user process notified that the transaction has been committed."*
I think that it can lead to loss of data in some cases..I'm using Oracle 11g R2 on OEL (x64)..
P.S : I haven't multiplexed current ORL group files...
I've got a legacy SAP system with oracle 8i on Tru64. No changes at all are made but for legal reasons we have to keep it up and running.
we currently do a full backup monthly by shutting down oracle and doing a backup of all the files to tape and that takes around 12 hours.
If I stop doing the full backup and I only backup the control file and the archived redo log files every month and I had to restore the full database years from now, would I be able to restore the database using the last full monthly backup and use the latest control file and archived redo log files?
I look after a database that contains GIS mapping data. We do not use Oracle Spatial - it's just a plain Oracle Standard DB. It is running in Noarchivelog mode (I know - it's not a good idea, but will be sorted when our new Sun T4-1 arrives).
There are only a couple of users who actually edit data in the database, but about 100 simultaneous users who access it. In day to day use we have no performance issues. The DB has 3 50Mb redo log groups, and these switch about every hour or so during normal use.
Every few weeks we do a bulk update of our underlying map data. This involves putting about 4Gb of data into the database (which is about 15Gb in total). This takes about 5 hours and whilst I'm sure our old Sun v240 server lacking power is a substantial cause, I think the lack of redo space makes matters worse. Last time we did this, the system clocked just over 200 redo log switches in 5 hours. There were lots of "Checkpoint Incomplete" messages in the log file too.
The software we use to load the map data doesn't allow the data to be loaded with a nologging switch.
I could resize the redo logs, but if I size them for the update workload - 3x 500Mb - we'll have some days where we don't get a redo log switch at all. Is this necessarily a problem?
The alternative I'm thinking of is prior to performing this update, we add an extra redo log group with a 1Gb file, run the update, then remove the redo log group and delete the file afterwards. Is there anything wrong with this approach?
What is the optimal redo log size for the database and how many log files required if desired to enable archive log mode.what can be the value for fast_start_mttr_target..?i think if it this parameter set we can have redo log advisor for optimal redolog size.we have 2 redolog groups with 2 members each size of 1 GB. Will it degrade db performance..?

how would I be able to calculate the Redo rate for using in the Required bandwidth Formula as seen below :
Required bandwidth Formula ((Redo rate in bytes per second / 0.7) * 8) / 1,000,000 = bandwidth in Mbps
Example: 385 KB/sec peak rate would require an available network bandwidth of at least
((394253 / 0.7) * 8) / 1,000,000 = 4.5 Mbps.

tell me the advantages of using more than one redo log thread? Currently i am setup with 3 logfile groups and 3 members in each group.Ie

'/u02/oradata/pri/redo03b.dbf',
'/u03/oradata/pri/redo03c.dbf' ) size 30M
I wanna know if the redo log members are mirror copies.All member files from a same redo group have the same data?Are there any different in mirror or multiplex a file?

I'm using Oracle 10gR2 (10.2.0.4.0) 64 bits.
I got many times oracle ORA-00494 error and the database went down but since 29th of july the database have not been killed.
The error message is below :
ORA-00494: mise en file d'attente [CF] d�tenue pendant trop longtemps ( (more than 900 seconds)) par inst 1, osid 176484

My database is used for datawarehouse of many terabytes.
Initially the redo log size was 500Mbytes and I've set it to 3Gbytes. The maximum log switch is after 5 minutes. I want log to be switched every 20 minutes or every 30 minutes.
To obtain the size of redo logs I've executed this query :
SQL> select OPTIMAL_LOGFILE_SIZE from v$instance_recovery;
OPTIMAL_LOGFILE_SIZE
--------------------
54763
53,5 Gbytes is it not very big as redo log size? What's the maximum size of redo log? To set very big redo log size what are the requirements? Which precautions should I take before? What are the risks? Are any other ways to change the log switch frequency?
How can I disable redo generation for DML statements.

I am creating database instance from template. I have specified the location of redo log files. When I run the dbca utility it does creates the redo log files in specified directory. But the installation fails . When I checked the trace file. it says unable to locate the specified file(redo.log). But when i check in directory they are created.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI was asked by my systems administrator if I could tell him how much redo log volume, on average, do I figure we generate in a day?
Just wondering how I might calculate this?
We have several production databases. If I wanted to calculate the above for one of them, would it be take all the redo logs for a day and total up the size in bytes? Maybe take a 5 day work week and take the average over the 5 days?
As we know that, MV is generating more redo logs during the FAST refresh. but i need more clarifications on that.
see the below examples:
exec dbms_mview.REFRESH ( LIST => 'mv_test', method=>'F');
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
select a.name, b.value
from v$statname a, v$mystat b
where a.statistic# = b.statistic#
and a.name = 'redo size';
NAME VALUE
---------------------------------------------------------------- ----------
redo size 147144
see the redo size is 147144 bytes. Immediately, i refreshed in MV view. now there is no update or insert or delete stats happened in source tables. but i do see redo log generation is high for NO DATA refresh.
select a.name, b.value-147144

redo size 42352
For no rows refresh, it takes 42352 bytes.. why oracle generated redo logs when there is no DML operations happened in source table.
What's the difference between a dirty buffer and a redo buffer?
My understanding is that a dirty buffer is a changed buffer or whenever data changes in the buffer cache, it's marked as dirty. Also, a redo buffer keeps track of changes that were made to the data, so it's also referring to changed data as well...DWBn writes dirty buffers to disk and LGWR writes redo data to redo log filesHow can we differentiate between the two?
In one of our envirnoment i could see the redo size is high.Trying to understand why this is more

View 3 Replies View RelatedI learnt that logWriter writes in the redo log files when redo log buffer is 1/3 full, it means that 66 % of redo log buffer are always empty and never used,

OEL.
Design stage of New SAN. I can put a lot of the database, including redo on SSD.
1. Hardware sub tiering enabled. Has anyone ever gauged performance with enabling 11g Smart flash cache using the SSD as the flash device even with the hardware subtiering on? ie, if the hardware subtiering is moving hotblocks to most performant disk, is there much significant benefit having the flash cache on. Im guessing yes as the flash cache is working at the SGA level.
2. To redo or not to redo on SSD. Many notes say not to so as to avoid log file sync waits. Is there a way to keep it on the SSD and avoid the waits? Is there any risk of enhanced degradation of the disks over time with having so much sequential writes from the redo if I leave it on there?
