Hi,

Oracle 9.2.0.3
AIX 5L

Anyone out there suffered serious performance issues with sorts to disk on
this platform. we are using GPFS filesystems. The same query took about 16
minutes on a 8.1.7 database running on a small Tru/64 machine, the query on
the p650/9.2.0.3 machine took over 6 hours for a smaller data-set. Obviously
by doing sorting to memory we have reduced the time significantly but we
really would like to get this performing as the 8i system. Our data will be
of a size that some sorting to disk will be inevitable in the future and we
cannot live with the performance as it is. I have raised a call with Oracle
but as usual, the good people on this list invariably come up with some
useful hints/solutions in the meantime.

Regards

Lee
