Re: HELP HELP HELP HELP !!!!!!
What version of Oracle are you using, what is your operating system, and what happened to cause you to resart the server several times? I don't think that's going to help you, in fact it may make things worse. Looks like Oracle is trying to perform an instance recovery from a crash and applying redo logs. Be patient and let it do it's thing.Of course if you're on NT/W2K you may have to stop the Oracle Service, delete the password file and Oracle Service, then recreate the service. David A.

RE: disk subsystem performance question
I just started a couple days ago at this client. They're using Hitachi technology in the QA and prod environment with 181G disk. I asked the SA twice and he confirmed the 181 G disk. I'll ask more details to the SA as soon as I know him better. --- Deshpande, Kirti [EMAIL PROTECTED] a écrit : John, I agree with the 18GB drives implementation and pushing for more 'parity groups'. That's what we did. Now, HDS was back to sell more disk and backup soultions to us. I am not sure what we have agreed to purchase. A cache of 10GB for the 400GB database is nothing. I bet you will have tables larger than the cache size. A single FTS on these tables will flush the whole cache... We have 16GB cache (I think I remember that right, and is the max for 7700E), and that is not enough for several servers that the cabinet supports. - Kirti -Original Message- Sent: Wednesday, April 10, 2002 7:08 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Thanks for all the replies. We are determined to lay out the data as well as we can across the disks we are about to purchase - with the goal of striping across array groups and smaller, faster drives. The real argument for us is 18GB vs. 73GB disk drives and how we can stripe. The Hitachi is configured into groups of 4 physical disks called parity groups and you can choose RAID 5 or RAID 1+0 for that 4 disk set.If you have 73GB drives in a 4-disk RAID 5 configuration you get roughly 219GB of usable space in each parity group (this is what we are being told is the best option for us).This means our heavily concurrently accessed 400GB production database goes on 2 parity groups (2 sets of 4 disks). To me, this sounds like a nightmare waiting to happen and we are trying to stop it.The 18GB drives are less capacity but we can get ourselves spread over more parity groups for better concurrency. We do have about 10GB of cache but it is being shared across the enterprise with various other applications. We as a DBA group are really trying to sell the 18GB RAID 1+0 drive solution especially after reading the groups' experiences - unfortunately we are fighting a lot of marketing hype. If anyone has additional experiences or feedback with Hitachi or EMC they would like to share or comments (agree/disagree) with my thoughts, I'd love to hear them. I'm open for learning!

I have been hearing it for at least six years - and it still isn't true. Layout still makes a huge difference. RAID levels still make a huge difference.

We have had trouble in the past on the 7700E due to disk contention and layout, i.e. we weren't striped across the array groups very well this caused pretty poor I/O performance.This has been a learning experience for the DBAs and the SAs here for the logical vs. physical aspects of our disks. Anyway, to make a long story short, we are ordering disk for the move to the 9960 and we have 2 choices in disk sizes - 18GB and 73GB, and 2 choices in RAID - 1+0 and 5. I would like to get the smaller, faster 18GB drives in a RAID 1+0 configuration and stripe our data across the array groups as wide as possible. However, I am running into objections from the Hitachi people that their system is s fast we need not worry about such minor

RE: Does index need rebuilding when table is truncated
Good point Robert, The reason the index space still exists after a lot of deletes is the method the index is stored in the database. very similar to the old organization chart of a large corporation. If you eliminate all of the people between the CEO and the janitor you still have the multiple levels displayed on the chart. The may be vacant and just pointers to the next lower level but the still exist on the chart. Indexes are stored the same way. One block points to the next and so forth from the top to the bottom. Remove all of the data between the two and the path from the top to the bottom still exists thus the index storage is still used. If you export the data, truncate the table and import the data the path becomes top-to-bottom one step and the old index storage area is freed up. The janitor then reports directly to the CEO. Ron ROR mª¿ªm [EMAIL PROTECTED] 04/09/02 06:33PM There is not a HWM indicator for an index as there is for a table.

RE: subtract minute from date/time
I'm glad its not just me thats having a bad morning making the numbers work... My understanding of it goes something like this: When working with date/times, oracle considers 1 to mean One day. There are 24 hours in every day, so to get the figure for one hour you use 1/24 eg sysdate - 1/24 would give you the time one hour ago. There are 60 minutes in each hour, so one minute is 1/(24*60) Which is 24 hours times 60 minutes Similarly, if you wanted seconds there are 60 in each minute, so 1 second is 1/(24*60*60) Thats one day divided by (number of hours in a day * number of minutes in an hour * number of seconds in a minute) You can probably do the same thing with decimals, but the numbers are messy. If Oracle handled anything smaller than a second, we'd probably start seeing issues with rounding errors... Hope thats clear and I haven't made any obvious mistakes.

RE: No DBAs needed on AS400
On the AS400 IBM created DB2/400 that allowed DB2 to be ported to that platform. If they are not running DB2 on that platform, then they are using CICS-400 with VSAM files. Now. If you are performing queries from Oracle to DB2 (SQL Queries), that is being performed through Oracle's gateway product. If not, then they have installed DB2. Thank You Stephen P.

Re: No DBAs needed on AS400
It's been a while since I actually worked on a AS400 but from my understanding, DB2 is integrated into OS400, the operating system for the AS400. In the System/36 and System/38 worlds, you used RPG and a bunch of other utilities to create your programs and files. The files were flat files and I think when AS400 came out, this concept was still in place except now the files were stored in a database - DB2. I have seen one application on an AS400. There was no RI, no procs or triggers. The application had its roots in a System/36 system and had been re-written for the AS400. All the logic was in the app and DB2 just stored the data. Yes, you can run a utility (strsql I think) that brings up a screen and you can query the tables stored in the database using plain SQL. You can also bypass the app and directly insert/update/delete data aswell. hth mkb --- Jay Hostetter [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: We are going through a merger, and management is looking to eliminate positions.

RE: insert performance
Paul - How many insert processes did you run on each system? Is the disk layout identical in terms of spreading across devices? Dennis Williams DBA Lifetouch, Inc. [EMAIL PROTECTED] -Original Message- Sent: Wednesday, April 10, 2002 6:43 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Greetings! I am trying to diagnose a performance difference between two databases running the same test. They are similarly configured (same SGA size, etc.), and the servers are identical except for the number of CPUs (server A has 4, server B has 6). On database A, INSERT performance is about 190 rows/second. On database B, INSERT performance is over 500 rows/second. I saw some cache buffers chains, buffer busy, and library cache latch waits on database A while the test was running, as well as redo log sync waits. The waits didn't seem excessive, though. I checked for checkpoint not complete redo allocation messages in database A's alert log and found none. The db_block_lru_latches parameter is set to one-half the number of CPUs in both machines. I'd much appreciate any suggestions as to what else to check. I know that freelists can be an issue (there are multiple sessions performing inserts); how can I check to see if there's freelist contention? Anything else I should investigate?

Re: redo_size values in v$sysstat
Glenn,
The buffer cache hit ratio is meaning less, not only after startup but any time you
calculate it. I am pretty sure that I am not the first one and probably not the last
one saying that on this mailing list.
Now about the claim of why you need to wait until 10i to get this fixed, has probably
something to do with the fact of how the SGA is allocated on the HP platform. Any
change in the layout of the fixed SGA will mean a recompile of the code on HP.
Now it looks to me that the upper 4 bytes of the 8 bytes have been set to -1:
18446744069434437169
012EEE31
18446744052688746229
FFFB1B0FF6F5
So you probably could adjust for that
Anjo.

I sent a message last week regarding our values in the v$sysstat table being WAY too
large;
physical_reads = 18,446,744,069,434,437,169
db_block_gets, physical_reads_direct, physical_writes_direct also.
This prevents us from running the db cache hit ratio queries.
I logged a tar with Oracle and they said it was a bug (#1713403). It is caused by
an overflow in v$sysstat when the amount of generated redo grows over 2GB. They say
this bug can't be fixed (at least not until 10i!). I am running on 8.1.7 (HP-UX11).
If you are on 8i, could you query the v$sysstat table and let me know if anyone else
is seeing this problem?
col name for a20
col value for 999,999,999,999,999,999,999
select name,value from v$sysstat
where name in ('redo size', 'physical reads', 'db block gets')

NAMEVALUE
db block gets 18,446,743,996,920,309,855
physical reads 18,446,744,052,688,746,229
redo size 17,049,609,736
I find it unacceptable that Oracle would ignore this until 10i. The only time I can
get a cache hit ratio is when I first start up the database (which doesn't mean
anything). I know hit ratios are overrated and we look at waits more for performance
tuning (read all the articles), but it is still frustrating nonetheless.

Under the covers it is still AS400/DB2. -- The AS/400 has a full-featured database built into the operating system. Originally it didn't even have a name but IBM started calling it DB2/400 when they found out that some people didn't know it was there. And you don't need a DBA.

Re:No DBAs needed on AS400
Jay, We still have one of those dinosaurs running here called HP's TurboImage database. It also does not need a DBA, actually it does not understand what a DBA is. The database is hierachtical with the constraints set during creation. I constantly have fun with the older ManMan developers as we move them into PeopleSoft. They have no idea of what's going on under the covers. SQL is a foreign language to them, their all use to TurboImage intrinsics and a SQL*Plus look alike tool called Quiz. It's kind of fun, you have to use a dataset (they call them databases), report out columns, and then set conditions. Kind of like writing SQL with the from clause first. This type of structure has to be carried into the application programs as well, namely you've got to call the dbopen intrinsic before you can use a dataset. BTW, that's in C syntax 'dbopen(MANDB.MDATABAS.MMV090)' (the HP3000 MPEi/x directory structure is kind of strange). There is no such thing as rollback or read consistent view and recovery consists of going back to the last backup, all of which are cold, and having everyone re-enter their transactions. OH, yes, there is no such thing as a user. If you have the ability to loggon to the HP3000, you can use the database and everything is wide open. No ideas of security. Problem with TurboImage is that to modify a database you have to rebuild it using an HP utility and then you have to rebuild all of your application programs, or else they crash. Developers do that task as needed and when they mess up, well all hell can and does break loose. Also you need to run these third party utilities each night so that there is room for the dataset to grow and you have to fix broken chains all the time. There is no concept of an instance either. Your application program directly accesses the data files/datasets, so 'impeded' sessions are a common occurance and if an application messes up it can require a system reboot to clear the problems. Sure you don't need a DBA, but you sure as heck need an operator. Problem is that most operators don't get paid as well as a DBA. If your new CIO is in that mindset I'd recommend polishing your resume, cause your gonna need it.

RE: No DBAs needed on AS400
Just tell him that with AS400 one doesn't need a CIO either and that will be the end of that. AS400 is a closed system, perfect for running canned apps, maintained by somebody and is, in essence, equivalent of outsourcing. For that, you don't need to have an IT, just a person to manage the contract. If the business need to adjust the applications frequently and to create it's own solution, AS400 would be just a little bit awkward, not to mention the fact that programmers knowing AS400 are very hard to come across and usually demand a premium salary. -Original Message- From: Jay Hostetter [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, April 11, 2002 9:54 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Subject: No DBAs needed on AS400 We are going through a merger, and management is looking to eliminate positions.

RE: No DBAs needed on AS400
Jay, The AS400 machines are the heirs to the System 38 machines which were themselves derived from a 'Future System' which was so revolutionary that it was killed off by the IBM marketing on the eve of announcement for fear that it would frighten their System 360/370 customers (the cost of migrating to competition wouldn't have been higher than migrating to the 'future system' and they didn't take the risk). The operating system indeed has a built-in RDBMS, which may not have all the features of Oracle or UDB, but don't expect to make a bean-counter understand technical subtleties. After all, many people don't make the difference between Access and Oracle. Anyway, you have several ways to defend your position: a) Migration. Assuming they want to switch to something else, they will need somebody who knows the current system well. This in turn will help you learn the new system and find arguments to help preserve your job. b) Oracle doesn't need any DBA either. If you have no new application, no developer, if you don't upgrade anything, if volumes stay the same who needs a DBA? However, as soon as one of the premises is false ... - Original Message - From: Jay Hostetter [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thu, 11 Apr 2002 05:54:07 We are going through a merger, and management is looking to eliminate posit= ions.

Re: No DBAs needed on AS400
I never worked on AS400, but this aligns with what I recall. I believe that the System/38 was the first IBM system that had an embedded database. (System 36 did not -- it used older technology.) And that was used as the basis for the AS400. If I recall correctly, the OS used the database to store pretty much everything including all the system parameters and data. I believe this pre-dates DB2 and was very likely not a true relational database -- though I could be wrong on that. I suspect that SQL query capabilities were added on afterwards, similar to what was done with Ingres and Informix. (Informix was just indexed files and you could bypass SQL and do indexed file reads for performance reasons. Ingres had its own query language before SQL (QUEL?).) You didn't need a DBA, because the OS controlled everything and I don't think there was any ability to tune the system. The AS400 was designed to be pretty much a hands-off system. Just plug it in and let it run.

In the System/36 and System/38 worlds, you used RPG and a bunch of other utilities to create your programs and files. The files were flat files and I think when AS400 came out, this concept was still in place except now the files were stored in a database - DB2. I have seen one application on an AS400. There was no RI, no procs or triggers. The application had its roots in a System/36 system and had been re-written for the AS400. All the logic was in the app and DB2 just stored the data. Yes, you can run a utility (strsql I think) that brings up a screen and you can query the tables stored in the database using plain SQL.

Re: No DBAs needed on AS400
Can't help you there. The AS/400 evolved from the S/34, S/36, and S/38 line of IBM machines. My 77-yr-old stepfather (at the time, 62-yrs-old) bought a S/38 for his trucking company in NJ, complete with payroll, GL, AR, AP, etc software. He didn't have an IT department, needless to say. They just wheeled the machine in, the IBM guy set it up, then he (my stepfather) watched the IBM guy run everything for 2-3 days, then he picked up the manual (he wasn't even a mechanic, just a driver who built a company) and ran the system for years until he sold the company and retired. Did backups and everything. Had his drivers deliver the tapes in a firebox to his two other truck terminals. He is always a little amused that I can make a full-time living on computers... It's not hyperbole -- it's fact. IBM built some sweet machines for years, and the AS/400 is not only easy to operate but also the fastest commercial machine on the planet to this day. I've always suspected that was one reason why Oracle never bothered to port to AS/400, because DB2/400 was waiting there to slap them silly... Fatal flaw: they don't talk to non-AS/400s or non-mainframes easily. Hence open systems. It's an old story. Remeber: technical merit doesn't always win the day. After all, just compare the relative fortunes of DEC (or IBM) against Microsoft. If your new director is determined to go the AS/400 route (which includes isolating your company from just about everything except what runs on AS/400 and IBM mainframes), then you'd better brush up on your resume...

RE: No DBAs needed on AS400
We have DB2 running on an AS400 and have a DB2 DBA. She does those unimportant things like backup/restore, source control, duhveloper control, database reorgs and all sorts of other junk. She is busy all the time. -Original Message- Sent: Thursday, April 11, 2002 10:44 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L I never worked on AS400, but this aligns with what I recall. I believe that the System/38 was the first IBM system that had an embedded database. (System 36 did not -- it used older technology.) And that was used as the basis for the AS400. If I recall correctly, the OS used the database to store pretty much everything including all the system parameters and data. I believe this pre-dates DB2 and was very likely not a true relational database -- though I could be wrong on that. I suspect that SQL query capabilities were added on afterwards, similar to what was done with Ingres and Informix. (Informix was just indexed files and you could bypass SQL and do indexed file reads for performance reasons. Ingres had its own query language before SQL (QUEL?).) You didn't need a DBA, because the OS controlled everything and I don't think there was any ability to tune the system. The AS400 was designed to be pretty much a hands-off system. Just plug it in and let it run.

In the System/36 and System/38 worlds, you used RPG and a bunch of other utilities to create your programs and files. The files were flat files and I think when AS400 came out, this concept was still in place except now the files were stored in a database - DB2. I have seen one application on an AS400. There was no RI, no procs or triggers. The application had its roots in a System/36 system and had been re-written for the AS400. All the logic was in the app and DB2 just stored the data. Yes, you can run a utility (strsql I think) that brings up a screen and you can query the tables stored in the database using plain SQL.

Re: package in sqlarea
Thanks Mohammed! Some comments: tools that query from the V$SQLAREA seeking inefficient SQL by looking at DISK_READS (i.e. physical reads or cache misses on the Buffer Cache) and BUFFER_GETS (i.e. logical reads) can only be as effective as the Shared SQL Area cache in the Shared Pool. That is, your mileage may certainly vary! If the Shared SQL Area is being abused as a cache in any way, which can happen multiple ways, then the effectiveness of queries against V$SQLAREA can be severely limited. For example, if the Shared SQL Area is being flooded with many similar SQL statements that are only being used once and once only, due to the lack of use of bind variables by the application, then the cache of SQL statements may only provide you with the last 30 seconds of information in the database. This is not very useful. I try to kludge around this in TOP_STMT2 by attempting to aggregate statistics for all SQL statements which are the same to the first 60 characters of the SQL text, but this brings up other possible distortions. With a well-behaved application that is utilizing bind-variables, allowing SQL statements to be cached for long periods of time, queries against V$SQLAREA (such as in TOP_STMT2 and many of Steve Adam's scripts on IXORA) work like magic. The TOP_STMT2 procedure attempts to gauge the impact of a SQL statement by comparing the values in DISK_READS against the total physical reads (from V$SYSSTAT) and BUFFER_GETS against total logical reads (from V$SYSSTAT). While this estimated impact is fraught with all kinds of inaccuracy, it still provides a pretty good indication of just how debilitating a specific SQL statement might be on overall system resource consumption. --- The very best utility for SQL tuning is STATSPACK. STATSPACK takes snapshots of the V$ views (including V$SQLAREA) on a periodic basis (default: 60 mins) all the time. So, it keeps a long-term history SQL utilization, across instance restarts and such. Now, you can really analyze SQL utilization and get a good measure across longer time periods. Problem is, out of the box you only get STATSPACK's single canned report, which only compares differences between two separate snapshots. If these two snapshots are intersected by an instance restart, the report does not handle it well. Also, in my opinion the standard STATSPACK report is about as useful to the average person as the old BSTAT/ESTAT report. That is, not very useful. It's just too much information, much of it irrelevant. So, just as with BSTAT/ESTAT, I consider the YAPP report from the www.oraperf.com website to be an integral part of STATSPACK (as with BSTAT/ESTAT). Reading the YAPP report provides insight into whether SQL tuning is the top issue or not, or whether wait-event bottlenecks are the top issue or not. Thanks Anjo! I've customized STATSPACK to add additional columns to it's tables to store delta or incremental change values between snapshots. These values have to be calculated separately from the STATSPACK.SNAP packaged procedure or you have to be willing to modify the STATSPACK package. Since STATSPACK is essentially open source, this isn't hard. It becomes a matter of style. I prefer to leave STATSPACK components as pristine as possible to facilitate upgrade. Anyway, once you have calculated delta values between snapshots, you can treat the STATSPACK tables almost like a portion of a data warehouse and do some cool analysis queries against it. I've adapted a version of TOP_STMT2 (called it TOP_STMT3 -- originality is not my strongpoint!) to run against these customized delta values in STATSPACK and I'm able to accurate monitor for offensive SQL across months of gathered data.

Re: disk subsystem performance question
Battery backup on the controller should help in this case. If there is none, write back mode should be used (instead of write through), loosing advantages of on-board caching (still helps with the reads). Igor Neyman, OCP DBA [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Original Message - To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, April 10, 2002 6:58 PM Much of the supposed 'speed' may come from onboard caching on the controller.

We have had trouble in the past on the 7700E due to disk contention and layout, i.e. we weren't striped across the array groups very well this caused pretty poor I/O performance.This has been a learning experience for the DBAs and the SAs here for the logical vs. physical aspects of our disks. Anyway, to make a long story short, we are ordering disk for the move to the 9960 and we have 2 choices in disk sizes - 18GB and 73GB, and 2 choices in RAID - 1+0 and 5. I would like to get the smaller, faster 18GB drives in a RAID 1+0 configuration and stripe our data across the array groups as wide as possible. However, I am running into objections from the Hitachi people that their system is s fast we need not worry about such minor details. I'm having a hard time believing that given our I/O problems on the 7700E. Performance is given a high priority here. What I would like to know is others' experience with disk subsystems - specifically Hitachi but EMC and others as well have you been able to throw the disk in and forget it or have you had success in getting to the dirty details? Have you tested or noticed an improvement with smaller, faster drives in a disk subsystem like the Hitachi or have you traveled that path and found no noticeable improvement? I'm looking for either a) ammunition that my view is correct, or b) I'm wrong and we can get bigger drives which will make Enterprise Planning very happy from a $$$ standpoint because our Hitachi capacity will last longer. We are running Oracle 8.1.7 / AIX 4.3.3 / Peoplesoft Financials version 8. 2 production databases , one 400 GB and the other about 1TB. We've got some other production DBs but these are our big guys.

Re: Utl_file
I don't think you will be able to do what you want with utl_file unless you know the entire Excel file formatting details. I don't think BOLDING, RIGHT JUSTIFY, etc. can be part of a .cvs file. I know that Oracle has several products or options for $$$ that can do a lot of the Excel formation things for you. I have never had to deal directly with them and I am not even sure of all the available solutions. But in an effort to point you in the correct direction (maybe) look into Objects for OLE, Web DB, and Oracle Reports. There is no simple solution and you are going to need to do some research. Overall, I think is more pain than it's worth for just some fancy formatting (tell them to highlight and justify it themselves). Another option might be to put it in html table format, easy with utl_file, and then open/import that into Excel (just an idea) I tried to help, if all this is wrong, then just remember that it was for free;-) Brian P.

Re: No DBAs needed on AS400
In the late 80's and early 90's I worked on an AS/400. We also had NO DBA, and the box looked and ran like we had NO DBA. Back then IBM pushed AS/400's as a put it in and forget it/don't worry about it box. And as a result our database looked and ran like a POS. I remember submitting jobs, and after 1 hour of elapsed run time the job had 1 second of cpu. That's when I made my decision to switch to Oracle and Unix. I'm sure AS/400's are fine quality machines, and I'm not trying to bash them here (everything has it's place in the market). If your looking for justification, find out if IBM offers training for AS/400 DBA's. Use the course description as ammunition as to why he should have had a DBA or ask him who carried out the tasks the class described. Also check out books on Amazon for same. Then describe the tasks that a Oracle DBA performs and ask him who he expects to perform them. He's just rattling your cage, time to rattle his.

RE: No DBAs needed on AS400
Thank you for all the replies that I have received. It sounds like a version of DB2 comes along with the OS, or a full fledged version of DB2 can be installed. From what I have heard about their AS400 system, they can access their files directly - without going through a database. This reminds me of my COBOL days on VMS. It sounds like DB2 can be configured to use files, which would mean that you could either update the file directly or go through DB2 - is this correct? I can also make another VMS relation here - we had a tool called DataTrieve which you could configure to use regular files. You could then issue SQL like statements through DataTrieve against your files. Is DB2 like this? Somebody needed to configure DataTrieve before it could reference a file - what about DB2? Unless they never changed/added files on the AS400. Comments were made that DB2 and AS400s are not open. Does this mean that you couldn't write a client/server program to access data on DB2 (say using C++ from Windows 2000)? I'm off to find on-line docs...

Is DATAFILE order important in CREATE CONTROLFILE?
I'm writing a Perl script to automate the procedure to create a copy of an 8.1.7 production DB to a development server. Both production and dev are HP/UX 11.0. In doing this, I've created a file that cross-references where the production datafiles are and where they are to be placed in dev. This works fine, but I also wanted to dynamically create the CREATE CONTROLFILE statement for the new dev DB. I've noticed that the DATAFILE clause does not have the SYSTEM tablespace's datafile first, nor are any of the other datafiles in the same order that they are in production (e.g. from the output of an ALTER SYSTEM BACKUP CONTROLFILE TO TRACE). Does this matter? Does the order need to be preserved? I suppose I'll end up dynamically creating the cross-reference file, which would preserve the order, but now I'm curious. TIA!

RE: insert performance
Dennis-- The faster machine had 10 database connections, the slower, 50. Not all were used in either case. But my comparison is for inserts done by a single session, i.e., it's not the aggregate insert rate, but a direct comparison of the same insert statement in a single session on each server. As for the disk layout, I don't have that information readily available (the SA department doesn't like to let the DBA department get involved in such things!). I don't think it's significantly different, though. Thanks, Paul --- DENNIS WILLIAMS [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Paul - How many insert processes did you run on each system?

[EMAIL PROTECTED] -Original Message- Sent: Wednesday, April 10, 2002 6:43 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Greetings! I am trying to diagnose a performance difference between two databases running the same test. They are similarly configured (same SGA size, etc.), and the servers are identical except for the number of CPUs (server A has 4, server B has 6). On database A, INSERT performance is about 190 rows/second. On database B, INSERT performance is over 500 rows/second. I saw some cache buffers chains, buffer busy, and library cache latch waits on database A while the test was running, as well as redo log sync waits. The waits didn't seem excessive, though. I checked for checkpoint not complete redo allocation messages in database A's alert log and found none. The db_block_lru_latches parameter is set to one-half the number of CPUs in both machines. I'd much appreciate any suggestions as to what else to check. I know that freelists can be an issue (there are multiple sessions performing inserts); how can I check to see if there's freelist contention? Anything else I should investigate?

It sounds like a version of DB2 comes along with the OS, or a full fledged version of DB2 can be installed. From what I have heard about their AS400 system, they can access their files directly - without going through a database. This reminds me of my COBOL days on VMS. It sounds like DB2 can be configured to use files, which would mean that you could either update the file directly or go through DB2 - is this correct? I can also make another VMS relation here - we had a tool called DataTrieve which you could configure to use regular files. You could then issue SQL like statements through DataTrieve against your files. Is DB2 like this? Somebody needed to configure DataTrieve before it could reference a file - what about DB2? Unless they never changed/added files on the AS400. Comments were made that DB2 and AS400s are not open. Does this mean that you couldn't write a client/server program to access data on DB2 (say using C++ from Windows 2000)? I'm off to find on-line docs...

How to Find Every View In Which a Column is Used.
The dependencies tables do not go down to the column level. If I want to know all views that access the sal column of scott.emp how do I do this. I can find out the name of the views which access the table via dependencies, get the view text and parse it by eye. But I don't want to do that. I want the database to do so. I can use dbms_dql.parse, dbms_sql.describe columns, and the text of the view; however, this method does not work very well if the view contains a function or an operation on the column. Oracle must hold this information somewhere after a statement is parsed, but where ? Ian -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com -- Author: MacGregor, Ian A.

Re: cache buffer chains contention
It's certainly possible for Oracle to be pushed into very heavy CPU usage, particularly for PX slaves, but even in serial queries. Two common 'causes' are queries with correlated sub-queries against small tables; and queries which have been over-indexed and hinted to avoid table-scans. Bottom line, though, is that if the session does not appear to be in an Oracle-recorded wait state, it is either using (or scheduled to use) CPU, or you've hit a wait state that isn't instrumented properly.
