RE: Forever running Analyze

[Kevin Lange]

New file system is out.   We are running on Net App Appliances containing a Raid 5 system on Solaris using Oracle 8.0.5.   Not the best environment but its what we have to work with.  So, hardware is out.

 

As far as file system tuning .....  Another no.  Its a Waffle system ..... basicly, write anywhere , so where you put the tables and indexes are prety much a moot point.  

 

So, we are down to runnig it at night.  Not the kind of suggestion I was looking for .... but its the one I figured I would hear.

 

Oh well.

 

Thanks anyway.

buy a better i/o subsystem?  this should finish in single digit minutes, at worst.

 

ok, can't do that?

 

then

 

tune the i/o system

can't?

ok, then partition the table/index to faster/more/different drives

can't?

ok, then run the analyze at night via cron

can't

ok, then screw it, it's not worth it.  ( just kidding )

Hi folks;

  We have an Analyze running that is taking forever.  Here is the setup:

    The table is about 250 bytes wide.

    The table is normally 100,000 rows

    The table has grown to over 4,000,000 rows.

    There is one index on 1 column.

    We used the Compute Statistics options

 

Does anyone have any suggestions on how we can get this analyze to complete and still generate worthwile statistics ??

 

Thanks

 

Kevin
