 Restarting the database instance and service solved the performance

 Today, when reviewing logs of the queries I noticed that the database had
 been up for 100 days when it started slowing.

 The 100 days uptime may be unrelated, but has anyone seen this behaviour on
 any platform?

 For information, the server itself has been up for 242 days (240 days when

Re: Creating a sorted table

2001-05-28 Thread Connor McDonald

There is a very good reason for having data
approximately in physical order - it can
dramatically improve your buffer hit rates.

IOT's are great for this, but if you're on an earlier
version then the occasional job to pseudo-cluster
the data can be a very good thing...

Cheers
Connor

--- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:  
 Whyever would you want data inserted in order? 
 There is no guarantee that
 Oracle will actually store the records in order,
 there is no performance
 gain, and you can always retrieve the records in
 order by using an order by
 statement -- if you really need ordered data, you
 could use a
 index-organized table with all of your columns, with
 the date as the first
 column.  But methinks this would be dangerous for a
 heavy transaction
 table.  (Gurus, please correct me if I'm wrong here)
 
 However, if you are still keen, you could do this
 through a PL/SQL block,
 something like the following:
 
 declare
  cursor get_data is
   select col1, col2, col3, ...
   from unordered_table
   order by whatever;
 begin
  for dataRec in get_data loop
   insert into ordered_table (col1, col2,
 col3, ...)
   values (dataRec.col1, dataRec.col2,
 dataRec.col3, ...)
  end loop;
 end;

Re: Function based index - insufficient priveleges

2001-05-28 Thread A. Bardeen

When in doubt, check the manual ;)

Manuals are available in pdf format from metalink and
in html and pdf format from http://technet.oracle.com
(free registration).

Per the SQL Reference manual on the create index
statement:

To create a function-based index in your own schema on
your own table, in addition to the prerequisites for
creating a conventional index, you must have the QUERY
REWRITE system privilege. To create the index in
another schema or on another schema's table, you must
have the GLOBAL QUERY REWRITE privilege. In both
cases,
the table owner must also have the EXECUTE object
privilege on the function(s) used in the
function-based index. In addition, in order for Oracle
to use
function-based indexes in queries, the
QUERY_REWRITE_ENABLED parameter must be set to true,
and the QUERY_REWRITE_INTEGRITY parameter must be set
to trusted.

Nobody has removed Steve from the ORACLE-L list.
Not that I'm aware of, anyways.  He's been asked

order of the FROM clause.  Which I was aware of.  But it also
says: if there are NO STATS whatsoever and you use a hint that forces
the CBO to be used or it is the default, the order of tables is
left to right.  Like what you get when using the hint ORDERED.

Also, a few other interesting rules:

- FIRST_ROWS tends to favour NESTED LOOPS.
- ALL_ROWS tends to favour HASH and table scans.
old hat in the above

EXCEPT (!) if the CBO finds a table with no stats in a join.
Then it's most likely hash, for both settings above.

And optimizer_mode is CHOOSE and there is a mix of tables in
the join with/without stats, then ALL_ROWS is the result.


 Speaking of the ORDERED hint, it can greatly reduce parse times when
 joining many tables.  Obvious when you think about it.

That, it certainly does! My experience too.  It never hurts
to help the optimizer do its job.

 All kinds of interesting stuff when you Read The Fine Manual.  ;)


And a few others.  I found out the problem I reported
a while ago with CBO suddenly going South on hash scan joins and
completely ignoring nested loops or indexes is actually an introduced
problem due to a change in CBO rules after 8.0.4.  It first
affected SAP users.  It used to be fixed by a couple of events
which due to their usefulness, became the two new optimizer cost
adjust parameters in later versions of 8.0 and some of the 8.1.

groan...  roll on 9i, I've had enough of this optimizer!

Buffer Hit Ratio 10% on UNIX HP/UX 11.0

2001-05-28 Thread Schoen Volker

Hi list,

I have a curious problem with my buffer hit ratio on Oracle 8.0.5, Unix HP
UX 11.0. When I run the following select, I get a hit Rati about 8 %.

select   sum(decode(NAME, 'consistent gets',VALUE, 0)) ConsistentGets,
 sum(decode(NAME, 'db block gets',VALUE, 0))DBBlockGets,
 sum(decode(NAME, 'physical reads',VALUE, 0)) PhysicalReads,
 round((sum(decode(name, 'consistent gets',value, 0)) + 
sum(decode(name, 'db block gets',value, 0)) - 
sum(decode(name, 'physical reads',value, 0))) / 
 (sum(decode(name, 'consistent gets',value, 0)) + 
 sum(decode(name, 'db block gets',value, 0))) * 100,2) HitRatio
from sys.v_$sysstat;

Output:

CONSISTENTGETS DBBLOCKGETS PHYSICALREADS  HITRATIO
37104235  166477 35109886
5,8

I know the application which works with this instance. I know that hit ratio
have to be higher, cause application is tuned and there is not much data in
the database. In other environments (Windows NT) I get buffer hit ratios
about 90 - 99 %. So my question: Is there something on OS-level (HP UX 11.0)
I have to configure to get higher buffer hit ratios?

Here is the environment:
Oracle 8.0.5 on HP UX 11.0
512 RAM

INIT.ORA parameters:
compatible   8.0.0
cpu_count1
db_block_size4096
db_block_buffers 5
shared_pool_size 7000
hash_area_size   131072
sort_area_size   131072
large_pool_size  0

Oracle manual states that in order to use function based indexes in queries
the query_rewrite_enabled parameter needs to be set to 'true', and the

the proper privilege required to create function-based indexes.
Connect as dba and provide the user with the privileges required to create a

If the user is creating indexes in their own schema: 
SVRMGR grant query rewrite to ;
 If the user is creating indexes in schemas other than their own:

You need to set a couple of parameters in the init.ora, these are

query_rewrite_enabled  = true
query_rewrite_integrity  = trusted

and you need to grant the privilege QUERY_REWRITE to the user.

RE: redo copy latch low??

2001-05-28 Thread Rajaram

Just pulled up this info from Oracle Docs Well, If you could give some 
inputs as to the performance issues that u r facing bacause of this - it 
would be useful. Also, what type of application are u running?

Here is the info:

*
Reducing Contention for Redo Copy Latches
On multiple-CPU computers, multiple redo copy latches allow multiple 
processes to copy entries to the redo log buffer concurrently. The default 
value of LOG_SIMULTANEOUS_COPIES is the number of CPUs available to your 
Oracle instance.
If you observe contention for redo copy latches, add more latches by 
increasing the value of LOG_SIMULTANEOUS_COPIES. It can help to have up to 
twice as many redo copy latches as CPUs available to your Oracle instance.

Re: How can I query the SID name from the database

2001-05-28 Thread Stephane Faroult

Concerning the SID, which I tend to find synonymous with instance name
(trying hard to figure out a way to have an instance name different from
the SID, but cannot come out with anything), 8i contains a column NAME
in V$INSTANCE (which has nothing in common but the name with the Oracle7
V$INSTANCE). With Oracle 7, you can't get it, for the reason that Jared
says - OS stuff, not Oracle stuff. The closer you can get to it is
SELECT VALUE FROM V$PARAMETER WHERE NAME = 'db_name' assuming, somewhat
optimistically, that people usually give the same name to their database
as to the instance when there is no parallel server running (this is
what I usually do but I have very recently met databases which were
created with different conventions). I have noticed, though, with 7.3 a
V$ACTIVE_INSTANCE view with a NAME column which only seems to contain
something when the parallel server is running (was not my case). That
said, you need to relate a name to an instance # and I have not the
slightest clue about how to get your instance # in this case since
userenv('INSTANCE') only works with Oracle8.

Re: How can I query the SID name from the database

2001-05-28 Thread Don Granaman

This is correct - $ORACLE_SID is a host environmental variable and cannot be
obtained from the data dictionary.  However, you can get the instance name
from v$instance.instance_name in 8.x or from v$thread.instance in v7.

Re: Error Message - Database is Already Up

2001-05-28 Thread Danisment Gazi Unal (Unal Bilisim)

Hello Vivek,

Check followings:

- If I'm not wrong there should be lk* file 7.3.3 and onwards. remove it.
- check shared memory/semaphores by ipcs. if They still exist, remove them
by ipcrm

if problem still exist, you are most probably hitting a bug.

- debug your process by truss/trace in OS system call level. check last
lines of truss/trace output. I'm not sure last system call is flushed to
file. check it.
- set event="error code trace name errorstack forever, level 10" in
init.ora. re-produce error. then send us trace file created under udump.

regards...

Oracle and Red Hat

2001-05-28 Thread Charles Wolfe

All,

Over the past few days, there have been postings which stated that Oracle
had withdrawn certification for Red Hat Linux.

The first indicated that Oracle had withdrawn certification for Apps 11i on
Red Hat Linux.  Subsequent postings further indicated that Red Hat would not
be a supported OS platform for upcoming releases of the RDBMS as well.

I did find one forum posting on Metalink which indicated that Red Hat had
withdrawn from the Oracle certification process, but have found no other
references to the above.

Does anyone know of any relevant articles, or support/desupport notices
regarding this?

Any info will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Chuck

Re: Buffer Hit Ratio 10% on UNIX HP/UX 11.0

2001-05-28 Thread dgoulet

 For one thing, which you did not mention, when was the last time this 
instance was restarted?  It is normal to see low cache hit ratios 
shortly after a startup.  Second did someone do something, like select * 
from the largest table, that could have caused the cache to completely 
flush?  Also do you have something going on that could cause a lot of 
full table scane, like bad statistics?  There are a lot of other user 
level things like this that can cause problems.  I have DB's that stay 
up for a year at a time  don't have low cache hit ratios without good 
cause.

Hi list,

I have a curious problem with my buffer hit ratio on Oracle 8.0.5, Unix 
HP
UX 11.0. When I run the following select, I get a hit Rati about 8 %.

select   sum(decode(NAME, 'consistent gets',VALUE, 0)) ConsistentGets,
 sum(decode(NAME, 'db block gets',VALUE, 0))DBBlockGets,
 sum(decode(NAME, 'physical reads',VALUE, 0)) PhysicalReads,
 round((sum(decode(name, 'consistent gets',value, 0)) + 
sum(decode(name, 'db block gets',value, 0)) - 
sum(decode(name, 'physical reads',value, 0))) / 
 (sum(decode(name, 'consistent gets',value, 0)) + 
 sum(decode(name, 'db block gets',value, 0))) * 100,2) HitRatio
from sys.v_$sysstat;

Output:

CONSISTENTGETS DBBLOCKGETS PHYSICALREADS  HITRATIO
37104235  166477 35109886
5,8

I know the application which works with this instance. I know that hit 
ratio
have to be higher, cause application is tuned and there is not much data 
in
the database. In other environments (Windows NT) I get buffer hit ratios
about 90 - 99 %. So my question: Is there something on OS-level (HP UX 
11.0)
I have to configure to get higher buffer hit ratios?

Here is the environment:
Oracle 8.0.5 on HP UX 11.0
512 RAM

INIT.ORA parameters:
compatible   8.0.0
cpu_count1
db_block_size4096
db_block_buffers 5

 I should change it, as I find Jread much easier to type than Jared.

  If by 16 bit sqlplus you mean version 1 of SqlNet, you
  can't connect to an 8i database with it.
 
  Some version numbers here would help.
 
  platform:
  version of platform:
  version of Oracle:
  etc...

Re: How can I query the SID name from the database

2001-05-28 Thread C.S.Venkata Subramanian

 U can get the instance name from V$instance and v$database. If u have set the 
instance name and sid as same in init.ora, then instance name is the SID. BTW 
SID=system identifier for the OS to identify the Oracle to allocate resource. U can 
have multiple instance running in same OS.

You can't query the server for the SID, as it is
simply an environment variable.

Re: Musings on tuning and the optimizer

 And a few others.  I found out the problem I reported
 a while ago with CBO suddenly going South on hash scan joins and
 completely ignoring nested loops or indexes is actually an introduced
 problem due to a change in CBO rules after 8.0.4.  It first
 affected SAP users.  It used to be fixed by a couple of events
 which due to their usefulness, became the two new optimizer cost
 adjust parameters in later versions of 8.0 and some of the 8.1.

 groan...  roll on 9i, I've had enough of this optimizer!

Nuno, here's an interesting bit in the tuning manual that may
take care of the hash join problem.

For a view with multiple base tables on the right side of an outer join, the 
 optimizer can push the join predicate into the view (see Pushing the 
 Predicate into the View) if the initialization parameter 
 _PUSH_JOIN_PREDICATE is set to TRUE or the accessing query contains the 
 PUSH_PRED hint.  

 Pushing a join predicate is a cost-based transformation that can enable more 
 efficient access path and join methods, such as transforming hash joins into 
 nested loops joins, and full table scans to index scans. 

I haven't had a chance to try this, as I don't currently have access to a 
database with real data in it, but this could be the way to prevent those
hash join problems when migrating to 8i from 7.x.
