RE: (Fwd) Re: DBD::Oracle Slow cursors
John, I tried a simple SQL with 100 records in the table and refcursor. The SQL response if I fire it in SQL developer or TOAD is 0.09 seconds But If I fire the same thing in Java program below is the analysis. You can clearly see that the when starting the loop for the cursor which is a sys-refcursor, its going back to the DB to fetch the rows again.

Below are details of one of the SP which we are having issues with. In the below SP we are passing in a Username and then for that user are fetching his counts and other information. The output parameter is a sys_refcursur. The problem is that when I fire each and every insert and select statement, Its firing in 0.2 seconds. But when retrieving these details in the java code when it come to the line to loop the cursor then it gets struck for about 2 to 3 mins and the response is coming back. We have seen this behavior in most of the places where we used this sys_refcursur. The table circuit is a huge table of million records and it has all the indexces in place and other tables as well. I have been googleing for a long time for a solution for this sys-refcursor issue and I am not sure why its going back to the DB after executing the SP while looping through the cursor. We have Oracle 10G 10.1.0.4. I have also tried to combain all the select statements into one using the UNION command and insert into the tbl_qm_dashboard. The insert fires in 1.12 seconds, but again the cursuor looping is the issue. Note : tbl_qm_dashboard is a temp table. Hope I will get an break through with all your expertise.

Why are you asking for help on a Perl Mailing list then??? There is nothing we can do for you here it is PLSQL problem. I have some expreriance in PLSQL and all I can know is that sys_refcursors are allways going to be slower than direct calls with SQLPlus. Not sure how we can help you here. Perhaps you should rethink the refcursor idea or try spliting it up into two or more calls Cheers From: jaha...@idexcel.com To: byter...@hotmail.com; martin.ev...@easysoft.com; dbi-users@perl.org; carlso...@llnl.gov; tim.bu...@pobox.com Subject: RE: (Fwd) Re: DBD::Oracle Slow cursors Date: Wed, 18 May 2011 13:03:34 +0100 John, Irrespective of I calling in Java or executing it on the SQL developer or in TOAD, I am getting the same response time when compared to executing the SQL’s separately Regards P S Jameel Ahamed From: John Scoles [mailto:byter...@hotmail.com] Sent: 18 May 2011 12:21 To: jaha...@idexcel.com; Martin Evans; dbi-users@perl.org; carlso...@llnl.gov; Tim Bunce Subject: RE: (Fwd) Re: DBD::Oracle Slow cursors Does this have anything to do at all with DBD::Oracle???

Don't use dynamic queries? You can use PL/SQL variables directly in the SQL statement w/o specifying them as bind variables. That is, pass them as parameters to your stored procedure, then just put them directly in the SQL without decoration. Return XML CLOB instead of cursor? Just some ideas. Would need to see code to know what to suggest next. I am not proposing that my solution is any faster, just different.

To be honest, our user space code in Perl has no select access to anything in the database and can only access tables via functions returning system reference cursors. I wonder about your statement when returning from Stored procedure as procedures don't return values other than as out parameters. Older versions of DBD::Oracle failed to inherit the rowcachesize and ora_auto_lobs which we have had problems with in the past but these are all resolved in the latest DBD::Oracle. I guess you'd need to be more specific for anyone to help or we are just guessing. Martin
