that would help. my guess is what others have said - that he is somehow issuing 10,000 individual update statements. each one requires the statement to be parsed, compiled then executed. there is little that one can do in the database to help that type of process. the real answer is to re-write the update into something that Oracle can run with much better efficiency. we can then add indexs to the table to support the update.

We run into similar 'slow' response issues once in a while, when the automated archived log directory maintenance job falls behind the rate of archive log generation. - Kirti -----Original Message----- Sent: Tuesday, August 13, 2002 8:43 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L His problem is not reducing 60 sec to 20 seconds but why an hour or more was taken to update 10,000 rows. It's obvious there are other things (which I indicated in my email) that need to be sorted out to reduce the hour to few minutes. Regards, Waleed -----Original Message----- Sent: Tuesday, August 13, 2002 9:08 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L David, You don't yet know why it's slow. Why not turn tracing on for the session doing the inserts and then run tkprof on the trace file? Since the inserts seem to be taking so long, you should also be able to join v$session_wait with v$session to catch the waits in action and determine exactly what they are. You should also join v$session and v$session_event while the insert job is running. Actually, using bind variables will probably help. The insert statements will be less resource intensive and run much faster, and this will result in less contention for other sessions. My tests of insert statements with and without bind variables show that using bind variables resulted in an insert job of 27k rows running in 15 seconds and < 1/100 sec of parse time. Not using bind variables required 60 seconds, 20 of which were CPU parse time. The increased run time also resulted in 3x as many buffer busy waits for other sessions trying to hit the same table.

Thanks, David -----Original Message----- Sent: Tuesday, August 13, 2002 2:00 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Bind variables will not buy you anything. The time taken is mainly dependent on the execution plan and the cardinality of the indexes being used. Also any overhead like updating a column that's part of an index, triggers, referential constraints, etc. Waleed -----Original Message----- Sent: Tuesday, August 13, 2002 2:35 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L I run it on the server. How do I use bind variables? Thanks, David -----Original Message----- Sent: Tuesday, August 13, 2002 1:13 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L >From the look of your sql statements it seems that each statement will be hard parsed because the values are different. If you will use bind variables you can save a lot of time. Is the script runs on the server or from another computer? If you run the script from another computer you also have the network time added.
