Sun Sparc Solaris 2.6
Oracle 8.0.6.2.0
42 G tablespace made up of 21 2G files, called T1 for our example
44 G tablespace made up of 22 2G files, called T2 for our example
Scenario:
We have two tablespaces where we wish to export/import all the data. We
wish to do this because of the excessive fragmentation in the
tablespaces. The sizes/make up of the tablespaces are above.
First I export all the data. After this, I then truncate all the tables
(to avoid redo generation). Some of these truncates fail due to
parent/child key issues. Fine, no big deal. I then go and drop all the
tables (with cascade option).
The timings for these items are currently
Truncate 42 minutes
Drop 149 minutes
QUESTION: Anyone know of a way to speed either of these up? I don't want
to drop the schema.
Finally, I want to coalesce the tablespaces before I do the import.
What is the fastest way of doing this? I've tried
alter tablespace coalesce t1
alter tablespace coalesce t2
These took a combined time of 150 minutes.
Other ideas which I have yet to explore:
a) change the pctincrease on the tablespaces from 0 to 1 back to 0. This
should force SMON to coalesce.
b) Modify the init.ora (forgot exact parameter) to dedicate more time to
smon coalescing
c) shutdown/startup the database (which should force smon to coalesce)
QUESTION: What of these (or other alternatives, I'm open...) would be the
fastest? I cannot believe that 2.5 hours to coalesce 86G of tablespace is
the best I can do.
Thoughts?
