Re: Lots and lots of redo logs
I guess this test was in response to a claim that 'you have to put your log files on the inner/outer/middle section of the disc for best response time.' I think this demonstrates that there are never any easy answers - and rarely any conclusive tests other than real-life. One thing you might want to check is whether the average 'redo write size' increases as the writes move through the redo logs (in the second case). You MIGHT be demonstrating that the original hypothesis is true, you MIGHT be demonstrating that in this case LGWR becomes self-balancing - as the disc access speed increases because it buffers more data and does bigger writes, so that the slower seek time is hidden by a side-effect of a larger write. BTW - this is not a fair test of normal OLTP activity - some experiments I've been doing recently suggest that inside a PL/SQL loop the COMMIT does not cause a log file sync - if you check your redo synch writes and redo writes statistics, you may find that redo synch writes is extremely small (possibly 1, possibly 1 per log file) and you redo writes will almost certainly be less than the 15,000,000 commits you issued. I'm still working on the 'commit is not a sync' thing, but it really does seem that in pl/sql a 'commit is complete' BEFORE lgwr has written to disc.

Re: Sqlplus tunning
Create a single index (index_a) on the two columns in ITEM (no, custsold). Create a second index (index_b on two columns in RTNITEM (no, custrtn). See how the query does once these indexes are created. Then try adding these hints to see if it's any faster: select /*+ index_ffs(i, index_a) index_ffs(r, index_b) */ item.no ... ... from ITEM i, RTNITEM r ... ... Without the indexes you are forcing Oracle to do a full table scan, which is why the query is taking so long. In SQL*Plus, use SET AUTOTRACE ON so you can see the plan and confirm this. With these indexes you will see steps in the plan for the indexes that read, either INDEX (FULL SCAN) or INDEX (FAST FULL SCAN). If your goal is to have the first rows of the query pop up quickly for the user, you want a FULL SCAN of the indexes. If your goal is to have the entire query complete in the shortest amount of time, you want a FAST FULL SCAN of the indexes (which is what the above hints are designed to make happen). Use autotrace and if it still isn't working as fast as you want, copy the explain plan and post it to this list. - Original Message - To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, September 18, 2001 7:40 PM Hi, I have 2 big tables, ITEM (is about 1 million rows) and RTNITEM (is about 20K rows) When I do: SELECT ITEM.no, NVL(SUM(ITEM.CUSTSOLD), 0), NVL(SUM(RTNITEM.CUSTRTN) FROM ITEM, RTNITEM WHERE ITEM.no=RTNITEM.no GROUP BY ITEM.no; Time to execute above query is to long.

RE: how to zip email?
Hi Andrea, What I have is a separate PST file for the Oracle stuff. I have a folder in my main mailbox, and a filter to place all ORACLE-L email in there. Then I have an autoarchive on that to clear out things older than a few days to the separate PST. You can create another PST using the New option in the File menu, then you open it and it will appear alongside the Outlook Today folder at the top level. You can drag and drop messages between PSTs. So, all the Oracle email is eventually stored elsewhere, and I can just unmount that file and move it around, even to another Outlook, just like a transportable tablespace. And in response to the other poster, it's only all in one file by default, you can have many PSTs if you want. I find it always helps to know what you're talking about before blaming other people for your own ignorance. g -Original Message- Sent: Monday, September 17, 2001 6:15 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Hi all, This is not an Oracle question, but thought peoele on this list might know: I saved many emails about Oracle, Unix in the Microsoft Outlook, and I like to send these information esle where.

Re: Where to put your redo logs
Interestingly I had the luxury of playing with a out-of-the-box Solaris server the other day, so (whilst I was meant to be configuring it :-) ), I played around with raw volumes under plain old disk partitions (no veritas, no sds etc). Using straight 'dd' to copy 100m or so, partitions starting at cylinder 1 ran about 20-25% faster than starting at cylinder 7000 (I think) on an 18G 1rpm. So I smacked some redo logs on the low cylinders , then the high ones, and crunched away as hard as I could (in noachivelog). I got about 8-10% improvement in performance - I didn't bother to do any further analysis, I'm guessing the reduction in gain was due to other work the db had to do other then just lgwr. The box is gone now - so I can't repeat the test. Still, for an high update db, it does reinforce the ol' log files on dedicated disks on the outer bits argument. Cheers Connor --- Jonathan Lewis [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I guess this test was in response to a claim that 'you have to put your log files on the inner/outer/middle section of the disc for best response time.' I think this demonstrates that there are never any easy answers - and rarely any conclusive tests other than real-life. One thing you might want to check is whether the average 'redo write size' increases as the writes move through the redo logs (in the second case). You MIGHT be demonstrating that the original hypothesis is true, you MIGHT be demonstrating that in this case LGWR becomes self-balancing - as the disc access speed increases because it buffers more data and does bigger writes, so that the slower seek time is hidden by a side-effect of a larger write. BTW - this is not a fair test of normal OLTP activity - some experiments I've been doing recently suggest that inside a PL/SQL loop the COMMIT does not cause a log file sync - if you check your redo synch writes and redo writes statistics, you may find that redo synch writes is extremely small (possibly 1, possibly 1 per log file) and you redo writes will almost certainly be less than the 15,000,000 commits you issued. I'm still working on the 'commit is not a sync' thing, but it really does seem that in pl/sql a 'commit is complete' BEFORE lgwr has written to disc.

RE: Two Instances at one oracle Server
how do you start the database ? with the servermanager ?? If you do so, so you have to set the variable for the SID value on the value of the other instance. On Unix-maschines it looks like: ORACLE_SID=new_sid export ORACLE_SID Then you are able to start the second instance.

RE: Two Instances at one oracle Server
Hi, It looks as though you are trying to start the instance from svrmgrl? In that case, use the SET ORACLE_SID=SIDNAME, to force the oracle name before you start svrmgrl. Or try in svrmgrl: connect internal @SIDNAME Another way of doing this is re-create the services using oradim and set starttype to srv,inst. e.g. C:\ ORADIM - STARTUP -SID SID -USERPWD PASSWORD -STARTTYPE SRV,INST That way all you have to do is start the service from service manager and both the service and the instance will start.

Temp extent sizes and Strange performance problem
I posted earlier about my SQL statement that overnight went from less than 2 minutes to about 25 minutes on our nightly data warehouse loads. We used RMAN to move an exact copy of the database from before the process started running long to a different unix box. After running sql_trace and tkprof on the SQL statement in question (see below) on both the current and pre-problem database, the execution times were similar and the explain plans were identical except for minor differences in the number of rows returned. I then looked at all of the initialization parameters and they look the same except that we created the rman copy with a smaller shared pool (due to resource constraints on the box we moved the copy to). One thing that I noticed was that the extent sizes for the TEMP tablespace is different. The day that we started having this problem, we had a disk failure. The TEMP tablespace was on the failed disk. Another DBA dropped the TEMP tablespace and recreated it on a different disk (apparently with a larger extent size). The current next_extent size is 4194304. The next_extent size on the pre-problem TEMP tablespace is 40960. Is it possible that this difference in extent size in the TEMP tablespace could cause a ten-fold degradation in performance?

Please do not post Off Topic to this List !! I have a nightly load job that was being tracked by our developers. According to their nightly logs (going back months), a query was running as far back as they can record with a sub-second response time. Then on a particular date (Aug. 23rd), the query started taking more than 20 minutes to complete. It has taken that long to complete ever since. I looked at the explain plan and it looks o.k. Indexes are being used and there are no suspicious full table scans. The init.ora file has not changed since then. We restored a full copy of the database to an alternate host using rman. It should be an exact copy as of Aug. 16th. I ran the query on the copy and on the current production database and the resulting explain plans were identical except for the number of rows returned. Total execution time and cpu times were similar. I looked through our change documentation and I do not see any record of data structure changes or any data changes at all in the database in question. I am sort of at a loss for what to try next. What sort of changes might cause such an extreme degradation in performance as this? This is an 8.1.7 database on Sun Solaris 2.8. The optimization is rule-based. No partitioning.

RE: Lots and lots of redo logs
BTW - this is not a fair test of normal OLTP activity - some experiments I've been doing recently suggest that inside a PL/SQL loop the COMMIT does not cause a log file sync - if you check your redo synch writes and redo writes statistics, you may find that redo synch writes is extremely small (possibly 1, possibly 1 per log file) and you redo writes will almost certainly be less than the 15,000,000 commits you issued. I'm still working on the 'commit is not a sync' thing, but it really does seem that in pl/sql a 'commit is complete' BEFORE lgwr has written to disc.

RE: Good/Cheap Backup Agent?
Walter, Ruth's suggestion is still a good one. You can use Rman to backup to disk, and then simply copy the Rman files to tape. You get all of the recoverability using RMan, without having to purchase the 3rd party tape interface product (like Legato, Edm etc.). Your costs are : probably an additional disk drive to hold Rman backups Your time to develop and test Rman scripts. Developing Rman scripts will be very easy - there are only a couple of hundred people on this list using Rman, and we all share! Hope this helps Tom Mercadante Oracle Certified Professional -Original Message- Sent: Tuesday, September 18, 2001 6:40 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L I neglected to mention that we're trying to backup to tape. I'm not sure what is involved with configuring a media manager for Oracle that will allow Rman to work with a tape drive but it would seem to me at that point I'm into a 3rd party solution anyway. Yes? No? What does it take to get a tape drive to work with RMAN? If a 3rd party solution is better, then I'm back to inquiring about an inexpensive, but useful, solution.

However, the problem is that when it isn't up, the script hangs and does not return anything - I think that this is because sqlplus by default gives you 3 attempts to logon, so even though the logon attempt failed, it is waiting for you to try again, so unfortunately I'm not getting a failed return code. If anybody could tell me how to change this so that it only allows 1 login attempt before 'kicking you out' or whether there is a better method to finding out the status of an instance, I would be extremely grateful to hear from you.

RE: DB Names in multiple oracle installs
They could have the same database name but different SIDs. But I think that you're right. I think that he means SID. They can have a different ORACLE_HOME in the listner.ora file and a different connect siring in the TNSNAMES.ORA file (along with a different ORACLE_HOME). I'm not sure if that would be enough to differentiate them though. If you're in a UNIX environment there's still the question of ORACLE_SID.

RE: Sqlplus tunning
If you are on 8i, then use, parallel option. If this option is not set, then, you need to put the following parameter in your init.ora and then bounce the db.

Re: Temp extent sizes and Strange performance problem
Its unlikely - but is it possible you had a tempfile before and now a datafile for TEMP? hth connor --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I posted earlier about my SQL statement that overnight went from less than 2 minutes to about 25 minutes on our nightly data warehouse loads. We used RMAN to move an exact copy of the database from before the process started running long to a different unix box. After running sql_trace and tkprof on the SQL statement in question (see below) on both the current and pre-problem database, the execution times were similar and the explain plans were identical except for minor differences in the number of rows returned. I then looked at all of the initialization parameters and they look the same except that we created the rman copy with a smaller shared pool (due to resource constraints on the box we moved the copy to). One thing that I noticed was that the extent sizes for the TEMP tablespace is different. The day that we started having this problem, we had a disk failure. The TEMP tablespace was on the failed disk. Another DBA dropped the TEMP tablespace and recreated it on a different disk (apparently with a larger extent size). The current next_extent size is 4194304. The next_extent size on the pre-problem TEMP tablespace is 40960. Is it possible that this difference in extent size in the TEMP tablespace could cause a ten-fold degradation in performance?

segment_type IN VARCHAR2,
total_blocks OUT NUMBER,
total_bytes OUT NUMBER,
unused_blocks OUT NUMBER,
unused_bytes OUT NUMBER,
last_used_extent_file_id OUT NUMBER,
last_used_extent_block_id OUT NUMBER,
last_used_block OUT NUMBER,
partition_name IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL
);
PRAGMA RESTRICT_REFERENCES(unused_space,WNDS);
-- Returns information about unused space in an object (table, index,
--or cluster).
-- Input arguments:
-- segment_owner
-- schema name of the segment to be analyzed
-- segment_name

-- Output arguments:
-- total_blocks
-- total number of blocks in the segment
-- total_bytes
-- the same as above, expressed in bytes
-- unused_blocks
-- number of blocks which are not used
-- unused_bytes
-- the same as above, expressed in bytes
-- last_used_extent_file_id
-- the file ID of the last extent which contains data
-- last_used_extent_block_id

How to move a databse from Solaris to Llinux
Hi all, we have to move a 135 GB Oracle 8.0.6 database from Solaris 7 to Linux. We tried a simple restore of the database files from the last offline backup (tape) as we did it many times between equal systems. After creating the new control file on the target system the database could not be started, becaue Oracle thinks that the system data file isn't really a data file! This means i have to do an export/import! I assume an export time of round about 10 hrs. Is there any easier way?

RE: How to move a databse from Solaris to Llinux
Reinhold - My sympathy is with you. I would think that Oracle data files are basically binaries, so just moving them wouldn't work between dissimilar systems. A couple of other ideas for you: If you were on a newer Oracle version, you could try transportable tablespaces. I would tune the receiving database for import speed. Turn off archiving. Large log buffers, etc. Full export without the rows, import that in the new system. Create a database link between the two (my studies have shown that to be the fastest, but other people may report better luck with other methods, depending on factors like your network speed) and use SQL*Net COPY to move them, committing as you go. Unfortunately, if it bombs off in the middle of a table, you have to do that table again. For your largest tables, you may want to pick a data key like year and do a year at a time. Good luck.

RE: CLOB trigger problem
Is the transaction committed by the client prior to your using the CLOB PL/SQL? -Original Message- Sent: Wednesday, September 19, 2001 2:15 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Dear listers, I am trying to copy an updated CLOB from a table in one database (let's call it A) to the equivalent table in another database (called B just to be original). I have written triggers and procedures to do this (one package on each database), and I am passing the contents of the CLOB to the remote update procedure as VARCHAR fields in a PL/SQL table. Everything works perfectly well when I run an update against table A. I am connecting via TOAD and am logged on to Oracle as the schema owner. The contents of the CLOB are retrieved, passed across and used to update the remote table. When the client updates the CLOB in table A, however, the select statement in my package on database A which 'locates' the CLOB, retrieves a CLOB of zero length. No exception occurs in the Select statement. The client's update succeeds on table A, and my package sends an empty PL/SQL table to the remote procedure (and the CLOB on the remote table is duly erased). The client is connecting through an ASP-driven web interface via IIS, which as far as I can tell is also logging on to Oracle as the schema owner. Anyone encountered this sort of behaviour before? I've just about run out of ideas. If I can't solve this by direct means I can probably do something kludgy like launch the remote update as a background process via DBMS_JOB.SUBMIT, but I'd far rather have it under transactional control. Oracle version is 8.1.6.3 on both databases. Can supply contents of triggers etc. if needed.

You cannot move data files from one OS to a different one due to the differences in how they write to files. Import and Export is generally the accepted way to do this.

Re: How to move a databse from Solaris to Llinux
I don't know if the method of moving data files will work or not. Since you are on Oracle 8.0.x, transportable tablespaces aren't an option. However, there are several other options that I have used. None are particularly easy though! One is to export/import via a named pipe - running multiple jobs of several tables each in parallel with indexes=N and constraints=N on the export, then building the indexes and constraints on the target as the exports finish. This is, in my experience, a lot faster that full export/import and significantly faster that table-level export/import with indexes constraints. It is a lot more work to set up to optimize the process though - users, roles, grants, indexes, constraints, stored code, views, sequences, etc. all have to be handled outside the table exports/imports that just move the data. Another is to use the SQL copy command - again running multiple jobs in parallel and building indexes and constraints as tables are completed on the target. This involves the same kind of considerations as above. Both are much more labor-intensive than normal exports (with indexes and constraints), but are also significantly faster. I have moved several 120-200+ GB databases concurrently from Oracle7 in one data center to Oracle8i in a new data center 200 miles away using these techniques and all were completed and back up in under 12 hours. Timing, coordination and practice are critical. In our case, I had over a month (part-time) to rehearse, refine and tune the migration. Staging, if possible is very beneficial. Sometimes the largest tables are static except during specific batch activity. If so, you might be able to schedule the migration so that these can start during a batch window and well before others - reducing the downtime for the move. In one such case, a 250 GB database with about 75% historical data updated only in batch, total migration time was over 16 hours but downtime was less than an hour. -Don Granaman [OraSaurus - Honk if you remember UFI!] - Original Message - To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, September 19, 2001 11:46 AM Hi all, we have to move a 135 GB Oracle 8.0.6 database from Solaris 7 to Linux.

Re: export with filesize option, dump file size estimation
why not take the size of the tablespaces with data(not indexes, u do have your indexes in separate tablespaces right?), divide by 1.9G and put that many filenames on the command line, you can't have too many, oracle wont use the extra but if you're short, you lose. joe [EMAIL PROTECTED] 09/19/01 02:10PM any idea on how to estimate the export dump file size without doing an actual export (not even to /dev/null)? the idea is to use filesize option of export utility to export db to several files. i am aware of using pipe/split to do large export. thanks, bill

RE: time synchronization
Ed, Get your SAs to take a look at NTP (Network Time Protocol). You can setup an NTP server and use NTP clients to sync up to it easily. In the case when an NTP client catches up with the server, it just reduces or increases the 1/100 sec time clicks so that the time is caught up over a period of time and even seconds are not missed.

For example switching to and from daylight savings. This is because the archive logging is not dependent on a date. It has its own sequence. Therefore changing the date and time even while oracle is up is no problem. I have done this many times for testing. The only thing to watch for is if you are using DBMS_JOBS.

Just make sure there is no time conflict with any of these jobs and also 'cron' jobs and go ahead and change the time.

Re: Sqlplus tunning
As there are no restrictions on the data being brought back what is wrong with doing a full table scan of each? True there are no restrictions. The query is not going to return just one row where product number = 443. It's going to cover all of both tables it joins. A simple unrestricted join of two tables will be faster if you just do a full table scan, you avoid the overhead of also looking at the indexes. But when SUM / GROUP BY are added this general rule doesn't apply and indexes will help significantly. -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com -- Author: Greg Moore INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services-- (858) 538-5051 FAX: (858) 538-5051 San Diego, California-- Public Internet access / Mailing Lists To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).

Re: Sqlplus tunning
I thought that hash_join was supposed to be best Just tried it both ways, with nested loops and hash join, on tables with the right indexes. Nested loops has elapsed time of 10 seconds, hash join is 5 seconds. However, the hash join spends about 4 seconds building the hash table before any results start to come back. The nested loops starts returning rows right away -- so if you are returning data to a user's screen nested loops would be a better choice even thought it takes longer because they see results right away -- by the time they read the first screen and start scrolling the rest will be there for them. Guess it depends on what your definition of fast is. -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com -- Author: Greg Moore INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services-- (858) 538-5051 FAX: (858) 538-5051 San Diego, California-- Public Internet access / Mailing Lists To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).

Re: Error in creating tablespace
Salaam Ashraf Jon, It appears that Oracle has a problem writing to the C drive to create the datafile on the very first block. This error is usually the result of a size issue over 4gb for the datafile or a file that has been autoextended. In your case, it appears it doesn't like the command (maybe some character is being passed through the command?).

I'm not sure if that would be enough to differentiate them though. If you're in a UNIX environment there's still the question of ORACLE_SID.

RE: Need assistance with a 'VIEW'.
Create views on the fly?
Ugh. Sorry, but that's really ugly IMO.
It would be much easier to use a refcursor.
Example follows.
Jared
ref_cursor_test.sql
var tables_rc refcursor;
prompt Table Owner?:
col cowner noprint new_value uowner
set term off feed off
select upper('1') cowner from dual;
set term on feed on
begin
open :tables_rc for
select table_name, tablespace_name
from all_tables
where owner = 'uowner';
end;
/
print tables_rc;
undef 1

Hi,
Someone posted the past week the solution of something like that.
He referred to create package and pass the date as a parameter to it
and have a procedure, inside the package, that create the view using
the parameter date.
That what I can recall.
Good luck,

Para: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L
Asunto: Need assistance with a 'VIEW'.
I have been given the nice task of creating a view of some data in our
database.
This doesn't seem like a major task, but after 2 days of work, I am
stumped.
Given table 'table1'
code1,
code2,
date,
value1,
value2
I need to produce a view showing
code1,
code2,
sum(value1),
sum(value2)
where date 'user input date'
I have not been able to get the view to prompt for the date to limit the
sum
by.
Specifics:
Oracle RDMBS 7.3.4
Server: Unix
What else can I say, but I am totally stumped. HELP!

Re: time synchronization
Eduard, You don't say why the time sync is causing such pain, or how you are syncing up the time. If the synchronization is a problem, check into using ntp or xntp found at www.ntp.org ( network time protocol ) Many shops use this to keep servers in sync. I use it at home on linux boxes, works great. How is this synchronization affecting your Oracle instances?

Normal shutdown the DB and listener 2. immediate cold backup 2. setup time synchronization on the unix level 3. startup the DB and listener 4.

RE: need an 8.0.5 client and an 8.1.7 client on same machine
Doug, There is an Oracle home selector that could be run before starting the appropriate application (alters path possibly does things to registry as well). This should guarantee the application finding the correct dll's etc. However, the home selector is a GUI application and I don't believe it has a command line interface (I remember reading a Metalink article on this but I don't currently have Internet access available). You could use a Windows scripting tool (eg Microsoft scriptit) to pass keystrokes into the home selector but I haven't tried it. Also, you may need to put the tns_admin variable into the registry as well as the environment variable - see Metalink Note:1020336.102 details here. All this said, have you tried using the 817 client with the other application - it might work (but whether the vendor would support it is another questions).
