It can be set to much higher values if the need is there. There used to be some kind of limit depending on the various 7-versions as far as I remember.

RE: RE: Long running SQL Problem?
Catherine, I am sure that Larry Elkins will forgive my taking the opportunity of being 7 hours ahead of him (and 7 hours behind yourself) for singing the praise of the 'hash anti-join' in his name. And anyway you could remind your senior DBA the existence of NOT EXISTS, far better than COUNT(*) in this case. Basically, in case A you have a non-correlated sub-query, and in case B a correlated one. A correlated sub-query means that for each row from Table_1 you must search Table_2. For one thing, if the corresponding columns are not indexed, you're dead. Even if they are, it may really be bad if Table_1 is huge AND THERE IS NO OTHER CRITERION, because you will have a full scan of Table_1. A non-correlated subquery is executed only once. If it returns few rows, you will have a full TS of Table_1 in both cases, but the NOT IN is likely to be slightly more efficient. If it returns many rows, if Table_1 is big, if there is no other criterion and if col3 and col4 are not null, then the NOT IN with a hint asking for a hash anti-join will outperform a NOT EXISTS, not to mention a 0 = (select COUNT(*) ...). The nested loops of a correlated subquery will be excellent when you have fairly selective criteria besides, and when the correlated subquery is, so to speak, the icing on the cake. Let me add that an external join with a test for nullity usually gives fairly good results too (in fact, it often goes the hash antijoin way) and that I have also had excellent results under some circumstances with an inline view (typically when you have additional criteria bearing on Table_2) ... To summarize, abruptly saying 'this sucks' exposes you to be proved wrong once in a while. - Original Message - From: CHAN Chor Ling Catherine (CSC) [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tue, 02 Apr 2002 21:13:19 Hi Gurus, My senior DBA always tell us that the not in command sucks and we are all encourage to use the select count(*). SQL A is greatly frowned upon and SQL B will be the best. SQL A : SELECT col1,col2 FROM Table_1 WHERE (col1,col2) NOT IN (SELECT col3,col4 FROM Table_2 WHERE col3 = col1 AND col4 = col2); SQL B : SELECT col1,col2 FROM Table_1 A WHERE (0=(SELECT COUNT(*) FROM Table_2 b WHERE b.col3=a.col1 AND b.col4=a.col2)); Qn : Is it true ?

Creating staging area from Windows client
All, I'm trying to install Oracle 8.1.7 on a Solaris box but I don't have physical access to the machine in order to insert the CDs. I'd like to copy the contents of the CDs up to the target Solaris box and create a staging area to perform the install from. The problem is, I've got a Win XP client and when I copy the software across runInstaller fails. I believe it's a problem with Windows' handling of the executable bit. Can anyone suggest a workaround for this? Cheers, Mike Hately This email and any attached to it are confidential and intended only for the individual or entity to which it is addressed.

Re: Unix at command ???
Janet, From the command line type man at and you will see the correct format to enter a at string. The basic format is at -f file_to_execute HH:MM This will execute the file at the time specified if the time is in the future. If the time is in the past it will take the next occurrence of the time(tomorrow). You can also use the MMDDYY in the string to specify the date to execute the file. at is used for a one time execution of a command. If you would like the command to execute at a set repetition use cron ROR mª¿ªm Janet Linsy janetlinsy@ya To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L [EMAIL PROTECTED] hoo.com cc: Sent by: Subject: Unix at command ???

Re: Database shut itself down
One correction: Oracle holds shared lock on the files, not exclusive. If it'd be exclusive - hot backup would be impossible. Still, shared lock is enough to prevent from deleting, moving, or renaming file.

Re: 8.0.5 -- 8.1.7 apps upgrade
I've done this in the past: Install 8.1.7 and create a database (same SID as your current database). Create the same tablespaces and users as your current database.

RE: Connecting to Oracle via Perl
Hi Rick,
Here's what I did... granted I have never been able to get os-authenticated
logons to work on Windows (have you?)
* Created a config file that has pairs of values (ex: elvis_pw
elvis)
* Created a module that accepts a hash as a parameter, reads the
config file, populates the hash with the pairs of values, and returns the
hash to the calling program.
* Anytime I connect to sql*plus (I don't do it with DBI) I use the
system call and refer to the parameter value in the hash within my connect
string: $$parms_ref{'elvis_pw'}. I don't use DBI because my calls are to
fire stored procedures, and if I remember right the DBI doesn't support
calling stored procs. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Not pretty but it works. My password is only stored in one place.
If you'd like to see the code email me directly.

RE: Literal SQL and sys.dual
Thanks for the help. You are right on the money. However, I am getting the data as strings and I do not know what I will get. I get hundreds of thousands of them and I have no idea what they would look like. I might get any string. couple of examples: select 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 from dual select 1 + (2 - 3)/4 + 5 / 4 + (6 + 7) / ( 5 + 5 + 0) So my requirement is different. When I use bind variables, either I use a bind variable for each literal and it will work, or use one bind variable for all literals and then all I will get back is one of the above string in the result set. The best answer is tht programmer should calculate the data as it comes in based on the token he gets and when he/she parses the data coming from the table. This might take place eventually. Right now I am trying to reduce huge library cache and shared pool contentions by elimating literal non-shared SQL. I come from C/C++/Pro*C development environment and I can not imagine ever using sys.dual to do arithmatic.

ksh - export MY_VAR=value
Once you think you have the variables set the easiest way to check if they
are propagated to child processes is to start a sub-shell and have it echo
the variables like so:
oracle MY_VAR1=var1_value
oracle export MY_VAR2=var2_value
oracle echo MY_VAR1=${MY_VAR1} MY_VAR2=${MY_VAR2}
MY_VAR1=var1_value MY_VAR2=var2_value
oracle ksh -c 'echo MY_VAR1=${MY_VAR1} MY_VAR2=${MY_VAR2}'
MY_VAR1= MY_VAR2=var2_value
oracle
I'm not a big perl person but here is a perl example:
oracle MY_VAR1=var1_value
oracle export MY_VAR2=var2_value
oracle /tmp/env.pl | grep MY
MY_VAR2 = var2_value
oracle export MY_VAR1
oracle /tmp/env.pl | grep MY
MY_VAR1 = var1_value
MY_VAR2 = var2_value
oracle cat /tmp/env.pl
#!/usr/local/bin/perl
foreach $key (sort keys(%ENV))
{
print $key = $ENV{$key}\n;
}

Hi All (Jared in particular),
OS: AIX
We are trying the following:
We have a script that executes and sets all sorts of environment variables.
Than after this we execute a perl script that reads the environment
variables, however the environment variables set in the first script are
not picked up.
We tried executing the variables script with [ . script] (dot space
scriptname) as well but still no luck.
How can we make the perl script pick up these variables?
TIA and sorry for the OT but I am not using perl so much as to join another
mailing list

RE: RE: License standby database?
Gene, HA means High Avalability. HA is a DB Server waiting to become the prod DB via shared storage, Not really. You can implement HA by any means as long as you ensure you have High Availability. IMHO standby is also something that is waiting to be activated and to become prod server. Actually standby is normally a better HA because shared disks would not protect you from disks going south. The point under discussion here, since you have missed it, is whether standby could be considered oracle running on standby host. ORACLE reps went on record saying that you con not since the oracle running on other server is in managed recovery mode.

RE: EMC question
I don't want to start a technical religious war here. Nevertheles, I am not a great fan of raw devices especially after the advent of comparable I/O options such as Direct I/O within Oracle which allows you to keep your file system layout and yet have raw device comparable performance. Plus options such as Quick I/O and Cached Quick I/O from Veritas provide similar performance and ease of maintenance and management. Regards, Gaja --- Khedr, Waleed [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: So it's great that EMC is offering striping on the hardware level that should be good idea for implementing striped raw device. -Original Message- To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Sent: 4/2/02 6:28 PM Hi Waleed list, The issue I raised about queuing was within the context of sequential writes to the various stripe units within a striped volume. If you have a 4-way stripe and there are 4 dirty disk blocks (1 on each stripe unit) that needs to be written to each of the 4 disks, the LVM-mid-layer should be able to get them down to their respective disks, independent of one another, not one after the other. If the dirty disk blocks are not written independent of one another, there will be no advantage of striping for writes. And pure striping should cater to I/O scalability for both reads and writes. Regards, Gaja --- Khedr, Waleed [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: HI Gaja list, I am trying to find the truth here! I was told by the storage group that EMC has striping now and this what I'm researching. Gaja, what you described as a problem during WRITES to striped EMC is a typical procedure in any striped volumes. There is a mid layer that has to map logical I/O addresses to physical disk addresses. If you are using Veritas LVM then all reads/writes requests will be queued to the LVM and will do exactly as you mentioned. There is a queue but the difference is big. You have a queue with many servers serving the queue requests simultaneously. Please check powerlink.emc.com Regards, Waleed -Original Message- Sent: Tuesday, April 02, 2002 12:38 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Waleed list, To define the terms we have on hand:- A contiguous meta volume requires the hyper volumes to be sequential. A non-contiguous does not require the hyper volumes to be sequential. I want to reiterate again that the concept of pure striping at the hardware level, is still not there in EMC, even though you have documentation that claims that you do. Let me explain. When you look at pure striping, there are 2 aspects to it :- 1) The read aspect 2) The write aspect Take an example of a 4-way striped volume. The read aspect provides us the capability for all 4 drives to independently spin and service I/O from each of the drives. This the EMC device does, after the data has been placed on all hypers that support a meta volume. The write aspect needs to offer the same functionality. So, if you are writing to 4 distinct blocks (each on 1 disk), then each drive should be able to write 1 block in an independent fashion. That is where, the EMC hardware striping is not complete. This is because, the 4 blocks that need to be written to the meta volume with 4 hypers (regardless of whether it is contiguous or not), will happen in sequential fashion. Meaning, to write 4 blocks into the striped volume, the first block will be written to the first hyper, followed by the second block to the second hyper and so on. As you can see the blocks that need to be written are queued up, so that they are written in a sequential fashion on the underlying hypers. This can and will cause severe write-intensive I/O bottlenecks. Why is this implemented this way? No specific reasons, except, that is how it is right now. It has been rumored that microcode 5x68 or 5x69, will do that. Remains to be seen. So all the EMC striping does right now is to alleviate the problem of read-intensive operations not hammering a single drive, provided the data is spread across all the underlying hypers. I am not very familiar with the Engenuity product offering, hence cannot comment on that, but from what I have heard, it is a software-based volume management product.

Re: ORA-00600 error
Bunyamin, I think you better check the following doc. from metalink...

The information here is only applicable to the versions listed and is provided only for guidance. ERROR: ORA-600 [729][a][b][c][d][e] VERSIONS: versions 7.X to 8.X DESCRIPTION: A space leak has been detected in the User Global Area (UGA). There is NO data corruption as a result of this error. It is an internal memory housekeeping problem. ARGUMENTS: Arg [a] This is the number of bytes leaked FUNCTIONALITY: MEMORY COMPONENT IMPACT: PROCESS FAILURE - But only during logoff so impact is minimal. NON CORRUPTIVE - No underlying data corruption. SUGGESTIONS: Event 10262 can be set to safely ignore small memory leaks. Set the following in init.ora for example to disable space leaks less than 4000 bytes: event = 10262 trace name context forever, level 4000 and stop and restart the database. Repeated errors or large memory leaks can be diagnosed further by sending the alert.log and trace files to Oracle support. Known Issues: Bug 2177050: ORA-600 [729] after application of the 8.1.7.3 patchset The resulting trace file will include a memory dump which shows unfreed memory chunks with the tags define var info and/or oactoid info. Workaround: Set EVENT 10262 with a LEVEL greater than the reported leak. A value of 100Kb (102400) is a reasonable limit. Fixed in 8.1.7.4 and 9.X releases. One-off patches are available for most platforms. . ** END HTH RS --- Bunyamin K. Karadeniz [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Dear Gurus , I am lack of UGA memory.

RE: RMAN
Dave,
I never said setup was easy. I agree that getting the tape software
integrated can be a real pain in the side, depending on what vendor you use
(DON'T USE CA'S ARCSERVE)
As far as backup goes, this is my command for full database backup. Much
simpler than strategies I've had to use in the past:
run {
allocate channel tape1 type 'sbt_tape'
format '%d_%s_%p_%t.rman';
backup database
tag='full_db_backup'
setsize 500;
}
Since I don't have the luxury of a catalog database at my disposal, I can't
store scripts so my alter system archive log all statement, backup
archivelogs and controlfile are separate run statements.
Here's the simplest part. I have tested recovery from several scenarios
with just the following commands:
restore database;
recover database;
and watched rman bring back the necessary archive logs and database files.
Now that is simple if you ask me, especially if I happen to be half-asleep
when I need to do this.

RE: EMC question
No wars! I also agree there are good products out there. But the question will be: can these products offer striping for Oracle OPS/RAC?

Nevertheles, I am not a great fan of raw devices especially after the advent of comparable I/O options such as Direct I/O within Oracle which allows you to keep your file system layout and yet have raw device comparable performance. Plus options such as Quick I/O and Cached Quick I/O from Veritas provide similar performance and ease of maintenance and management. Regards, Gaja --- Khedr, Waleed [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: So it's great that EMC is offering striping on the hardware level that should be good idea for implementing striped raw device. -Original Message- To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Sent: 4/2/02 6:28 PM Hi Waleed list, The issue I raised about queuing was within the context of sequential writes to the various stripe units within a striped volume. If you have a 4-way stripe and there are 4 dirty disk blocks (1 on each stripe unit) that needs to be written to each of the 4 disks, the LVM-mid-layer should be able to get them down to their respective disks, independent of one another, not one after the other. If the dirty disk blocks are not written independent of one another, there will be no advantage of striping for writes. And pure striping should cater to I/O scalability for both reads and writes. Regards, Gaja --- Khedr, Waleed [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: HI Gaja list, I am trying to find the truth here! I was told by the storage group that EMC has striping now and this what I'm researching. Gaja, what you described as a problem during WRITES to striped EMC is a typical procedure in any striped volumes. There is a mid layer that has to map logical I/O addresses to physical disk addresses. If you are using Veritas LVM then all reads/writes requests will be queued to the LVM and will do exactly as you mentioned. There is a queue but the difference is big. You have a queue with many servers serving the queue requests simultaneously. Please check powerlink.emc.com Regards, Waleed -Original Message- Sent: Tuesday, April 02, 2002 12:38 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Waleed list, To define the terms we have on hand:- A contiguous meta volume requires the hyper volumes to be sequential. A non-contiguous does not require the hyper volumes to be sequential. I want to reiterate again that the concept of pure striping at the hardware level, is still not there in EMC, even though you have documentation that claims that you do. Let me explain. When you look at pure striping, there are 2 aspects to it :- 1) The read aspect 2) The write aspect Take an example of a 4-way striped volume. The read aspect provides us the capability for all 4 drives to independently spin and service I/O from each of the drives. This the EMC device does, after the data has been placed on all hypers that support a meta volume. The write aspect needs to offer the same functionality. So, if you are writing to 4 distinct blocks (each on 1 disk), then each drive should be able to write 1 block in an independent fashion. That is where, the EMC hardware striping is not complete. This is because, the 4 blocks that need to be written to the meta volume with 4 hypers (regardless of whether it is contiguous or not), will happen in sequential fashion. Meaning, to write 4 blocks into the striped volume, the first block will be written to the first hyper, followed by the second block to the second hyper and so on. As you can see the blocks that need to be written are queued up, so that they are written in a sequential fashion on the underlying hypers. This can and will cause severe write-intensive I/O bottlenecks. Why is this implemented this way? No specific reasons, except, that is how it is right now. It has been rumored that microcode 5x68 or 5x69, will do that. Remains to be seen. So all the EMC striping does right now is to alleviate the problem of read-intensive operations not hammering a single drive, provided the data is spread across all the underlying hypers. I am not very familiar with the Engenuity product offering, hence cannot comment on that, but from what I have heard, it is a software-based volume management product.

Re: Help needed
Rakesh ,
create your tablespaces as required using system managed or LMT's.
I chose LMT and I wanted to control the size of the extents.
example:
CREATE TABLESPACE IDSR_DATA_02
DATAFILE '/data3/lnxdb/idsr02d.dbf' SIZE 1600 M
AUTOEXTEND ON NEXT 20 M
EXTENT MANAGEMENT LOCAL UNIFORM SIZE 20 M;
CREATE TABLESPACE IDSR_INDX_93
DATAFILE '/indx1/lnxdb/idsr93i.dbf' SIZE 12 M
AUTOEXTEND ON NEXT 2 M
NOLOGGING
EXTENT MANAGEMENT LOCAL UNIFORM SIZE 2 M;
Then you create the tables for the tablespaces.
Example:
CREATE TABLE GLCIDSR (
SALEDATE DATE,
additional columns...)
PARTITION BY RANGE(SALEDATE)
(PARTITION IDSRD93 VALUES LESS THAN ('01-01-1994')
TABLESPACE IDSR_DATA_93,
PARTITION IDSRD94 VALUES LESS THAN ('01-01-1995')
TABLESPACE IDSR_DATA_94,
Then create the indexes for the tables.
Example.
ALTER TABLE glcidsr
ADD CONSTRAINT glcidsr_pk
PRIMARY KEY ( saledate)
USING INDEX
local
(partition idsr93 tablespace idsr_indx_93
storage (initial 1 M next 1 M pctincrease 0),
partition idsr94 tablespace idsr_indx_94
storage (initial 2 M next 2 M pctincrease 0),...
There is very good documentation available on using these features that
Oracle has developed. Remember that some of the features must be
purchased if used in a business.

Hi,
I am working with Oracle 8i version in our ERP applications. I have
one
question regarding the backup of Oracle database. In the database I
am
designing it is required to partition the database as per financial
year.Almost all the tables will be partitioned accordingly. I want to
know
WHETHER IT IS POSSIBLE TO TAKE THE BACKUP OF INDIVIDUAL PARTITIONS
(i.e. OF
THE YEARWISE DATA). IF YES, THEN HOW IT CAN BE DONE. Waiting for your
reply
at the earliest, as my design will be dependent on your feedback.

RE: EMC question
Hello, If you want to use OPS/RAC, I suggest you go with something like an HP-256 disk array (or bigger, depending on your needs; a 256 is good for 1-2 terabytes and can be easily increased); and use mirroring and business copies. Caveat to the above: this is only good for read-intensive, not write-intensive.

If you have a 4-way stripe and there are 4 dirty disk blocks (1 on each stripe unit) that needs to be written to each of the 4 disks, the LVM-mid-layer should be able to get them down to their respective disks, independent of one another, not one after the other. If the dirty disk blocks are not written independent of one another, there will be no advantage of striping for writes. And pure striping should cater to I/O scalability for both reads and writes.

Gaja, what you described as a problem during WRITES to striped EMC is a typical procedure in any striped volumes. There is a mid layer that has to map logical I/O addresses to physical disk addresses. If you are using Veritas LVM then all reads/writes requests will be queued to the LVM and will do exactly as you mentioned. There is a queue but the difference is big. You have a queue with many servers serving the queue requests simultaneously.

A non-contiguous does not require the hyper volumes to be sequential. I want to reiterate again that the concept of pure striping at the hardware level, is still not there in EMC, even though you have documentation that claims that you do. Let me explain. When you look at pure striping, there are 2 aspects to it :- 1) The read aspect 2) The write aspect Take an example of a 4-way striped volume. The read aspect provides us the capability for all 4 drives to independently spin and service I/O from each of the drives. This the EMC device does, after the data has been placed on all hypers that support a meta volume. The write aspect needs to offer the same functionality. So, if you are writing to 4 distinct blocks (each on 1 disk), then each drive should be able to write 1 block in an independent fashion. That is where, the EMC hardware striping is not complete. This is because, the 4 blocks that need to be written to the meta volume with 4 hypers (regardless of whether it is contiguous or not), will happen in sequential fashion. Meaning, to write 4 blocks into the striped volume, the first block will be written to the first hyper, followed by the second block to the second hyper and so on. As you can see the blocks that need to be written are queued up, so that they are written in a sequential fashion on the underlying hypers. This can and will cause severe write-intensive I/O bottlenecks. Why is this implemented this way? No specific reasons, except, that is how it is
RE: RMAN
I used to be a hot backup scripter hack like Dave :-) but now I've been
backing up... AND RECOVERING with RMAN for a few years.
Setup is the most difficult part but after several times now I'm starting to
get the hang of it. You can use the sbttest utility without having to relink
Oracle so you can test (partially) the MML before doing RMAN. I tend to
think that doing an RMAN restore database validate is not enough... I like
to actually restore a datafile before I pronounce the backup ready for prime
time. I just did that about 30 minutes ago on a RMAN tape backup for a new
server.
The troubleshooting chapter in the RMAN manual is pretty good but it's 35
pages so that confirms that setup can be an ordeal.

Dave,
I never said setup was easy. I agree that getting the tape software
integrated can be a real pain in the side, depending on what vendor you use
(DON'T USE CA'S ARCSERVE)
As far as backup goes, this is my command for full database backup. Much
simpler than strategies I've had to use in the past:
run {
allocate channel tape1 type 'sbt_tape'
format '%d_%s_%p_%t.rman';
backup database
tag='full_db_backup'
setsize 500;
}
Since I don't have the luxury of a catalog database at my disposal, I can't
store scripts so my alter system archive log all statement, backup
archivelogs and controlfile are separate run statements.
Here's the simplest part. I have tested recovery from several scenarios
with just the following commands:
restore database;
recover database;
and watched rman bring back the necessary archive logs and database files.
Now that is simple if you ask me, especially if I happen to be half-asleep
when I need to do this.

Have everyone print out a copy of their ticket and then submit it back to you to re-enter if they want to re-open it. 2. Use log miner to log your archive logs. Find the SQL to recreate the ticket then run it again against the database. 3. This one is really just a better idea for #1...have everyone do a print screen of each ticket then create a database that allows people to upload the picture of the ticket. Save those and you can refer to them if you need to re-create a ticket. 4. This last solution is really dumb but also might work...instead of deleting the record perhaps you could just add a status column to the table and then mark it as closed. Then you could re-open it using an update statement. - Ethan -Original Message- Sent: Tuesday, April 02, 2002 1:38 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L I develope a ticket database for people to open, close, re-open ticket to update using oracle database.

Back in the 1980s when the US space shuttle Challenger explosion was being investigated by a panel of eminent politicians, lawyers, and scientists, Nobel-laureate physicist Richard Feynmann singled out NASA testimony stating that the Challenger explosion could only happen in 1 out of 100,000 launches. Noting that US space shuttles had been launched about 50-60 times up to that point, he asked how anyone could possibly project odds of 1 out of 100,000, never mind try to pass it off as fact.

help - JVM on Oracle
Hello List: I have Oracle 8.1.7 installed. It has includes a fully functional Java virtual machine (VM), as well as the Java class libraries for Sun's Java Development Kit (JDK) 1.2.1. , as readme.txt file states. Locally, I also have jdk1.3.1 installed. You can see this 2 JVM does not match. Im wondering, can JUST Oracles JVM gets upgrade? If yes, how? Here is the reason that I brought up this issue: Im passing Java returns value to Oracle, Time Zone, specifically. However, the value I can see from Java will get cut when pass to Oracle. For example: from Java session, I have a value America/Chicago, but when return from Oracle SQL session, I got CST. I want my complete original string, but not the short converted code! There are 2 reasons that I can think of: 1/ The JVMs do not match each other. 2/ Oracle 8i cannot recognize the string. I dont see the reason for this. (I understand that Oracle 8i only support several time zones, but I'm passing a string to Oracle here.) Any idea? Thanks __ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

RE: Do programmers tune SQL?
Whether a programmer tunes SQL depends on their answer to another question, Does the programmer care about overall application performance? If they do and a significant part of the application involves a database then they need to get on a professional development track to become a Database Programmer just like other programmers may need to become Network Programmers, Real Time Embedded Systems Programmers, Internet Programmers, or, for those old Mainframe heads, Systems Programmers. If they don't want to be bothered with such stuff then they'll remain mere programmers and never progress to Developers, Software Engineers, Systems Analysts, System Architects, and other gods. IMHO :-) Programming for the database in not that much of a specialty and anyone who wants to be a pro should get some solid experience with SQL. If you just read Harrison's book then you may think that SQL tuning is overwhelming but it really doesn't have to be that way. If you were to distill down SQL tuning to the basics then you could create a programmers guide to SQL that would be simple, concise, (less than 10 pages) and easy to understand. I wouldn't expect every programmer to come up with SQL so good that there's no room for improvement but... I do expect them to make an effort. I've seen so much sloppy SQL where it was obvious that all the programmer cared about was getting an expected result set against limited data and then moving on to the next function to program. If someone has good skills for producing efficient C code, then those same skills can easily be applied to SQL... actually SQL is really a lot easier. One approach is to create a database API to centralize all your database calls and avoid embedded SQL scattered throughout the code which is difficult to maintain or tune. With all database calls passing through the API, skilled database programmers can tune database access without breaking the application. But there is a point at which SQL tuning becomes overly obtuse, obscure, or esoteric, especially for Oracle-specific or other database-specific tuning. That's when the DBA comes in. For instance, I think it should be rare that the programmer be concerned with using Oracle hints. The cost based optimizer is getting good enough now that we can rely on it a great deal for providing adequate SQL execution paths... just as long as the SQL isn't sloppy to begin with. If we introduce too many hints or other obscure SQL tuning efforts then we create a maintenance burden because the data changes and today's good SQL statement may become tomorrow's pig. Just today I saw a query with an 11 table join and 3 of the 11 tables referenced were the same table but with different aliases. Not only could this have been down with just one join to that table, some of the other join tables were not needed altogether. On top of that, to limit the size of the result set they were using distinct because they couldn't figure out how to do it otherwise. Ugggh!! That's what happens with a programmer thinks he shouldn't have to be bothered with developing good SQL technique. Steve Orr Bozeman, MT -Original Message- Sent: Monday, April 01, 2002 1:13 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L I think there's a new myth: Programmers should tune SQL. Harrison says his book is for developers, but consider what he actually covers. Chapter 8, Tuning Table Access, covers many topics that are for DBA's, not developers: -- hit rate in the buffer cache -- db_file_multiblock_read_count -- number of blocks used for the table -- size of data blocks -- depth of index -- histograms -- use of ANALYZE and dbms_stats -- subtle points of index creation -- types of indexes, strategies -- fast full index scan -- bitmap_merge_area_size parm -- alter table minimize records_per_block -- setting up hash clusters -- IOT's, configuring the overflow statement -- periodic rebuild of indexes -- fast_full_scan_enabled=true parm -- lowering the high water mark -- optimizing PCTFREE andd PCTUSED That's from just *one* chapter. Oh sure, he also devotes a few pages to avoiding accidental full table scans caused by SQL that disables an index, etc. But how often are developers going to tune SQL by using the rest of the stuff in this chapter? The root problem is, the phrase tune SQL is a myth. Sure the SQL runs slow, then you tune it and it runs faster. But tuning it often requires DBA knowledge, something DBA's may take for granted, but for developers it's a huge area they have no familiarity with at all. There's a specific set of things you can ask developers to do, but there's another set of things that are required and that you can't reasonably ask developers to do. Harrison's idea that you can get developers to tune SQL is a myth. He's really written a DBA book that delves into tuning SQL, which is a reasonable goal. But to do the reverse -- asking a developer to delve into tuning SQL -- means they have to come to grips with DBA topics,
