Re: Add/Drop partition and CBO statistics

2003-12-03 Thread zhu chao
Hi, Tanel:
Thanks for your detailed suggestion.
Dropped partition is removed from the db and oracle won't think of it again. 
There is a documented BUG :
BUGNO: 2306067
PROBLEM: 
 
 ADD/COALESCE/MERGE/SPLIT partition sets the table stats to NULL in spite of 
no-aggregation of index stats. 
This bug seems to have severe impact on CBO statistics, but I cannot reproduce it 
on my solaris 8172/linux 9204.Can someone reproduce? If yes, can you post your 
detailed version and steps?

For the new partitions added, there is no data inside when it is added, new 
records are inserted into this partitions(range partition).In the begin of the month, 
there is a few records in the new added partition, as time goes by, the partition is 
full and new partition is added. THe existing partitiones are seldom modified after 
initial insert/later update.So it is difficult to decide when to analyze the new added 
partition.If I analyze the partition when it is added, statistics soon get out of date 
as new records are continuesly inserted into this partition.
I used dbms_stats to gather statistics:
exec dbms_stats.gather_table_stats(ownname='USERTEST',TABNAME='TESTPART', 
CASCADE=TRUE)  
  
DDL invalid the SQLs and procedures, which will cause reparse/recompile, and need 
to hold a lot of shared pool/library cache latch, but in my case, those latch are not 
the main wait event, as statspack report latch section looks like that:
 NoWait Waiter
Latch Name   Where   Misses Sleeps  Sleeps

 Hi!
 
 When you delete a partition, naturally it's statistics get deleted as well.
 Now when you add another partition, it is initially without statistics,
 which means CBO has either to use default statistics or depending on
 optimizer_dynamic_sampling parameters value to read few blocks from your
 partition and extrapolate stats from there. This may lead to bad execution
 plans.
 
 The correct way would be to analyze your partition after adding it, but if
 you can't do it because don't want to cause additional load, you might want
 to use dbms_stats to manually set statistics to your new partition. You
 should first get the statistics from somewhere, possibly from a similar
 partition. Then you can do the real analyzing later on if you need.
 
 Note that global table statistics aren't recalculated when you drop a
 partition. (Well, the documentation claims that if you set
 _minimal_stats_aggregation to false, then global stats are recalculated, but
 I haven't managed to get it working).
 
 Part of your problem is probably that ALTER TABLE DROP/ADD partition command
 you use to modify partitions will make all of table's dependent objects
 (views, pl/sql) invalid, they require recompiling what means library cache
 locks  latching. Also, all dependent SQL in library cache is invalidated as
 well, meaning hard parses - library cache/shared pool latching.
 
 In some cases this issue can be relieved by recycling partitions and using
 alter table truncate partition for emptying partitions, this doesn't at
 least invalidate dependent

Re: cache buffer chains latch

2003-12-03 Thread Jonathan Lewis

My current understanding is:
a)For normal buffer gets,
the latch is acquired,
the chain is scanned
the buffer is pinned
the latch is released
the buffer is used
--
the latch is acquired
the pin is dropped
(although the pin may be held
for the duration of the SQL or pl/sql
call if Oracle expects to revisit the buffer)

b)Consistent gets - examination
the latch is acquired
the chain is scanned
if the buffer can be found it read
the latch is dropped

Iin case (b), Oracle can make use of a
shared read latch - where the underlying
CPU supports it.

But I may be wrong - especially about (b),
and I haven't identified all the cases where
an examination is legal.


Question 2 - the best answers come from Steve Adams.
But in summary, think library cache latch children - you
may need to validate several objects in the library cache
at once, and they could be covered by different child latches.

Latches have a level#, from 0 to 9, and there is a precedence
of latch acquisition across levels that is designed to stop latch
acquisition deadlocks (again see S.A.).

The holding of multiple latches also explains the presence of
the column named (something like) waits_holding in v$latch.
You have waited for this latch whilst holding another latch.

Re: Unix scripts on Windows 2000 after installing MKS tool kit

2003-12-03 Thread Carel-Jan Engel
 Hi

 Has anybody experience with using unix scripts on Windows 2000 after

 Are those scripts run without major modification (after changing
 path/folder
 related info).

 My client wants to run their unix shell scripts  on their Windows platform
 after installing MKS toolkit version 8.6.

Hi,

Last week I installed my dataguard scripts with a customer using MKS. I
developed them on Linux and Solaris. No serious problems, except with
dynamic generation of pathnames from database views (replace '\' by '/')
and some colon-related problems when using rcp/scp (e.g.
rcp ${SHOST}:D:\ORACLE\ORADATA\SID\SYSTEM01.ORA \
${DHOST}:D:\ORACLE\ORADATA\SID\SYSTEM01.ORA )
doesn't work. replace D: by D= (and replace backslashes, of course), and
all's fine.

I got ssh to work, although setting passwordless authentication didn't
work. Because the customer has a closed environment, rsh/rcp was
sufficient. Be aware that NTFS is needed to set protection for .rhosts and
rsa/dsa private key files.

Success, Carel-Jan

Re: ** can two processes use the same rollback extent

2003-12-03 Thread K Gopalakrishnan
Yes Jonathan:

I think that 400 byte concept came from one of the TPC benchmarks during
Oracle 7 (or ORacle 6) days where the average undo size for a transcation
was around 380+ bytes. So they had rounded that to 400 bytes and a maximum
of 5 blocks will be linked to the freelist in the undo segment header.

THis is called 'free extent pool' and the structure and the blocks are
clearly visible in the undo header dumps.

RE: Oracle and Active Directory

2003-12-03 Thread McBain, Neil SITI-ITDIEEE
Denham,

I have been looking at OID since the company I am contracted to is also looking at 
using Active Directory. I tried using OID v2 (Oracle 8i) and it was terrible, I found 
it to be totally unreliable and very cumbersome to try and administer. OID v3 (Oracle 
9i) is better and a few people on this list have stated to only consider using v3 not 
v2. However I am now confused we had an Oracle Salesman in last week and he stated 
that Active Directory (AD) replication was not available in OID v3 and he said to wait 
for Oracle 10G AS Release 9.0.4 which is the first version of OID to include AD 
integration. I have not had time yet to verify what version does have AD integration.

Looks like you will need Oracle 9i/OID v3 or Oracle 10G AS Release 9.0.4 to allow an 
AD setup for Oracle 7.3.x.x and 8.1.7.x.x. I will update when I get more time to look 
into this.

I find it pretty irritating that perl doesn't handle that correctly.
I know, it's always a problem with floating point arithmetics, but how is
it, that perl already says good bye to accurate results while PL/SQL and C
both still give the correct result ?
Is there any work around or something I have to consider when doing floating

I need to have accurate values without rounding them for statistic

That is because you don't use printf/ sprintf. Printf/sprintf  helps you handle this 
thing 
correctly. Try executing the following code:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
my $x=1.9;
my $y=sprintf(%3.2f,$x);

The result will be 2.0.

RE: Add/Drop partition and CBO statistics

2003-12-03 Thread Wartiak Rastislav
Sometimes you want to run queries on partitions (using partition pruning or just using 
tablename partition (...)) and sometimes to run queries on whole tables.

Currently I'm working on project where I have partitioned tables with data to process. 
First, I run checks on whole tables (to make sure data is valid) and then process 
partition by partition just to work with smaller blocks of data. So I have global 
indexes to support validation queries and local indexes to support actual data 
processing.

rw

 Agreed that scanning one big index is faster than many partitions.
 
 Then raises the questions - I thought partitioning is for:
 
 1) ease of archiving/dropping off old partitions - drop old
 and create new
 partitions in a sliding window. A single large global index negates a
 lot of this ease - even though it is true that deletes on
 non-partitioned tables
 would be even more inconvenient.
 
 2) efficiencies in partition pruning for queries. If you are
 querying whole table - why bother with partitioning?
 
 The point then becomes you don't need to partition in the
 first place, or
 your partitioning scheme is not appropriate?

Title: Message



Thanks 
for all the ideas folks we decided to restore the TEST database instead 

of 
pursue so we would have less down time (problem was relatively recent). 

THEN 
in the middle of cold backup restore, I started seeing the same thing in my 

development instance . !!!

I got 
help from a fellow DBA and we managed to track it down, but I was too stressed 
out
from 
dealing with this all day to respond to let everyone know what happened. Bambi's 
idea
was 
closet to problem

When 
you havea function-based index, based on a user function and you do a 

fromuser/touser import, the touser tables that had the function-based 
index will 
get 
ORA-904, until the function-based index is dropped and 
re-created.
According to Oracle, it is supposed to work this way. **I** think they 
should at
least 
have an import warning. 

For 
those of you who wish to test for yourself (on 8.1.7), here is the test case we 
came up with:


== 1 == Create BTU1 user == drop user btu1 cascade; create user btu1 
identified by btu1 ; grant connect,resource to btu1; grant query rewrite 
to btu1; . == 2 == Create table and function-based index === connect

f_upper, WNDS, RNDS, WNPS); end this_pkg; / . create or replace 
package body this_pkg IS function f_upper ( in1 varchar2 ) return varchar2 
is begin return upper(in1); end; end this_pkg; / 
create table btu1_table ( col1 number, col2 varchar2(30)) / insert 
into btu1_table values (1, 'hello') / insert into btu1_table values (2, 
'goodbye') / create index btu1_index on btu1_table ( substr ( 
this_pkg.f_upper ( col2 ) ,1,30) ) / . == 3 == export this user == 
exp dba/passwd file=btu1.dmp owner=btu1 . == 4 == Create 2nd user to 
import objects into drop user btu2 cascade; create user btu2 identified 
by btu2 ; grant connect,resource to btu2; grant query rewrite to btu2; 
. == 5 == Import objects into anothe user == imp dba/passwd

  I have run into this problem in the past in two different

  internal view created for some reason that barfs... e.g., 
  VW_NSO_1.$NSO_COL_1. Check your alert log. If it's the latter, 
  it's a bug. If it's the former, tryspecifying the columns and 
  adding a column alias where the column could conceivably be a reserved 
  word. You didn't give us all the column names, but try something like 
  this...

Hi All,

When I set log_archive_dest_2 to a valid local destination Dynamically on 8.1.7.0 it 
is not generating the archive files..
It is generating the archive files on on log_archive_dest_1

I even tried with the following settings ..
1] both log_archive_dest_1 and log_archive_dest_2 made MANDATORY
2] log_archive_min_succed_dest = 2
2] log_archive_process = 10

Still it is not creating archives in the second location.

Am i missing something?

RE: partitioning option licensing

2003-12-03 Thread David Wagoner
Title: RE: partitioning option licensing





As of 9iR2, partitioning is still licensed separately as a $10K (retail) extra charge per processor. So, the total retail comes to a painful $50K per processor for 9i + Partitioning. Also, remember that support costs X% of the licensing per year, depending on your support level. You'll have to confirm the exact numbers with your sales rep. You can estimate about 22%, as I recall.

We just increased our licensing a few months ago. Get the fastest processors you can.

Embarrassed by Google/OTN, after stating I had not had time to verify what version integrates with AD, I spent 10 mins on Google and OTN (Oracle Technology Network) and hey presto :-

With Oracle9i Application Server 9.0.4, Oracle will offer prepackaged connectivity solutions for NT Domains and ADS. These solutions will allow Oracle customers to perform two-way synchronization of directory data between the Windows and Oracle environments.

Therefore the answer is any version prior to Oracle 9i Application Server 9.0.4 does not have out-of-the-box integration with Active Directory.

9.2.0.4 with OID and use it for authenticating users that are connecting to
8.1.6 (and probably 8.1.7 but I did not tested it).
2) MS has a product called MIIS. It should update the OID with any changes

Sometimes the upper case and lower case get mixed up
in the data dictionary.  I know that Oracle claims
case insensitivity but it happens.  Take a look at
sys.col$ and sys.obj$.

 Did you check grants on the table?
 
 This happens sometimes, with some oracle versions, 
 in the following situation:
 
 step1: user1 creates tab1 and
grants all to user2. (without grant option)
 step2: user2 creates view1 based on tab1
and grants all to user3.
 
 Now, when user3 tries to access view1 he gets this
 kind of error.
 
 This can be resolved by issuing the foll sql in
 step1
 
 GRANT ALL ON tab1 TO user2 WITH ADMIN OPTION;

RE: Which storage solution is good or you will recommend

2003-12-03 Thread Matthew Zito

The high end arrays from EMC and Hitachi, and to a lesser extent NetApp, all
have this sort of dial-home functionality.  I can't speak for Hitachi
(though I've heard good things), but the Symmetrix will dial home for events
that seem completely inocuous (a host is rebooted that is attached to the
storage, for example), and in many cases a lab tech will dial back into the
array to take a look.  This could happen many many times a month and is one
of the reasons a premium is paid for high-end arrays.

Thanks,
Matt

FW: raw traces - EXEC: c=10,000 e=40

2003-12-03 Thread Cary Millsap
Wolfgang,

The OS has always provided microsecond data to the Oracle kernel (see
the 'man gettimeofday' and 'man getrusage'). It's only in release 9 that
the Oracle kernel stopped truncating the data at the centisecond digit
(by doing an integer division of 1).

Oracle gets elapsed times by comparing pairs of gettimeofday() calls
(truss to find out for yourself). The e=40us is actually accurate to
within +/-1us (not counting measurement intrusion effect). The c value
is potentially way off, as I explained in the other note.

In Oracle 9, Oracle tries to measure times in microseconds (as opposed
to 
centiseconds pre-9). However, many Systems only slice time far coarser
than 
that so Oracle has to fake it to some degree and that faking may be 
different between cpu time and elapsed time. Take your cpu times for 
example. They are all 1 microseconds which is exactly 1/100
= 
0.01 = 1 centiseconds. That's a bit too much of a coincidence for me.
Who 
knows where Oracle get the elapsed times from. I wouldn't put too much 
faith in the accuracy of an purported elapsed time of 40 microseconds. 
Unless we are getting at least into the milliseconds range I would
regard 
all elapsed times as rounding errors.

Hi!

I haven't read Cary's book yet (although it's already waiting on my

Is this true? strace-ing on linux shows gettimeofday
calls (for e) and getrusage (for c) - just like Cary
describes. On HP however tusc-ing a simple select *
from dual issued from sqlplus I see:

calls sys call
- 
1 gettimeofday()
1 getrusage()
15times()

Which sys call is used for what? 
Guess I can turn timed_statistics off and see how it
affects the (amount of) sys calls issued

 c. 
  
  1. You should be able to verify (roughly the
 elapsed time) of

Re: ** can two processes use the same rollback extent

2003-12-03 Thread Rajesh . Rao

And to further refine that statement and IIRC, a transaction will not use
an extent E, that already has an active transaction in it, when the
transaction has filled up the previous extent S, and is now looking to wrap
into a new extent E. However, a fresh transaction can always be allocated
space in an extent that already has an active transaction in it.

IIRC, a segment will not wrap into an extent that has an active transaction
in it, but rather allocate a new extent. So the answer is...it depends.

  Hi,


  One rollback segment can be used by multiple

  assume that only one transaction/process can use one extent? What is
  a good way to size the extent for warehousing tasks? Or guess the
  rollback generated and size needed.

Re: decrease initial extent

2003-12-03 Thread Mladen Gogala
You can move it after you convert the long field to LOB. As it is one
of the system tables which appears in noexp$, it's not guaranteed that
your database will work afterward. OK, let me restate it: it's guaranteed
that it will not work. Other then that, it's only exp/imp of the full
database, and after editing sql.bsq (not for fainthearted)

On 12/03/2003 01:09:28 PM, Yechiel Adar wrote:
 Is there any way to decrease the initial extent allocated to a table.
 It is one of the system tables, so I do not want to drop and recreate it.
 I can not export/import as it appear in noexp$.
 It has long field so I can not do alter table move.

RE: raw traces - EXEC: c=10,000 e=40

2003-12-03 Thread Nelson, Allan
 The gettimeofday() function obtains the current time, expressed as
  seconds and microseconds since 00:00 Coordinated Universal Time
(UTC),
  January  1, 1970, and stores it in the timeval structure pointed
to by
  tp.  The resolution of the system clock is unspecified.

 The getrusage() function provides measures of the resources used by
  the current process or its terminated and waited-for child
processes.
  If  the value of the who argument is RUSAGE_SELF, information is
  returned about resources used by the current process. If the value
of
  the who argument is RUSAGE_CHILDREN, information is returned about
  resources used by the terminated and waited-for children of the
  current process. If the child is never waited for (for instance,
if
  the parent has SA_NOCLDWAIT set or sets SIGCHLD to SIG_IGN), the
  resource information for the child process is discarded and not
  included in the resource information provided by getrusage().  The
  r_usage argument is a pointer to an object of type struct rusage
in
  which the returned information is stored

 times() fills the structure pointed to by buffer with time-accounting
  information.  The structure defined in sys/times.h is as
follows:

   struct tms {
   clock_t tms_utime;  /* user time */
   clock_t tms_stime;  /* system time */
   clock_t tms_cutime; /* user time, children */
   clock_t tms_cstime; /* system time, children */
   };

  This information comes from the calling process and each of its
  terminated child processes for which it has executed a wait(),

These are from HPUX 11.11.  In HPUX and all other unix execute man your
command or system call to get more information.

Is this true? strace-ing on linux shows gettimeofday
calls (for e) and getrusage (for c) - just like Cary
describes. On HP however tusc-ing a simple select *
from dual issued from sqlplus I see:

calls sys call
- 
1 gettimeofday()
1 getrusage()
15times()

Which sys call is used for what? 
Guess I can turn timed_statistics off and see how it
affects the (amount of) sys calls issued

You're on the right trail by experimenting with it. I'm surprised that
the number of gettimeofday() calls is so small. The times() call is the
SVR4 analog of the BSD getrusage() call. I guess I shouldn't be
surprised to see both times() and getrusage() being used.

Hi Jonathan,

I bought a new PC sometime back similar to you, xp norton firewall and
virus and i had a problem with norton to start with. I found the
solution was the built in windows firewall was also turned on. You can
check this in the start-control panel-network connections-right click
on isp connection-advanced tab == you will see the internet connection
firewall.  In my case it was on, turning it off fixed it and allowed
norton to function correctly.

Worth a check

Re: Add/Drop partition and CBO statistics

2003-12-03 Thread mkline1
I've got a perfect application for partitioning by date. Each month is a new batch 
of data and everything is set for the last date of the month.

But they asked me today, if we drop a partition of old data, and then add a new 
partition for the next month, load it, what needs analyzed?

Is it enough to simply analyze the new partition?

  Agreed that scanning one big index is faster than many partitions.
  
  Then raises the questions - I thought partitioning is for:
  1) ease of archiving/dropping off old partitions - drop old and create new
  partitions in a sliding window. A single large global index negates a lot of
  this ease - even though it is true that deletes on non-partitioned tables
  would be even more inconvenient.
 Yes, that is why we use local index.not Global indexes.
 
  2) efficiencies in partition pruning for queries. If you are querying whole
  table - why bother with partitioning?
  The point then becomes you don't need to partition in the first place, or
  your partitioning scheme is not appropriate?
 Sometimes it is constrained by complex real  applications. A table has tens 
 of columns and you can only partition by one key(or several columns), and to use 
 partition elimination, the SQL must contains the partition key. So only these 
 limited SQL can use partition pruning. While in complex real life application, 
 there will always SQL with different where clause that do not use the partition 
 key at all.
 The other constraint is business logic.We should partition according to 
 product online time, but we have ten tables to archive and only one 
 table(products) has that key, all other tables do not have that column. Adding 
 such a column to other tables need considrable application rewrite and is 
 denied. So we use product_id(the primary key of most tables) as the partition 
 key.
  
   When partitioning key is not a part of the index and you are querying
  whole table, then it is faster to scan one big index than many smaller ones.
  The difference is something like log rows to partcount*log (rows/partcount).
  
BTW, local indexes are the only way to go -- I've never
understood the point
of global indexes on partitioned tables -- maybe someone else can?
 Global indexes are faster than local index, so if you have schedule down 
 time and need better performance, go to global index. OLTP is more suitable for 
 GLobal index, tomas kyte said in his expert one on one.

Re: select via dblink does not use index

2003-12-03 Thread Jonathan Lewis

What are the Oracle versions, settings 
for optimizer_mode and full execution 
plans.

Can you clarify 
 Remote table is a view with dblink.

Do you mean your query references a
local view which is a select from a remote
table; or does your query reference a view
at a remote site which is a simple select 
from a table at that site.

Re: dbms_stats

2003-12-03 Thread Jonathan Lewis

I think there are various little (hah!) details that
change with versions, but unless your analyze
command was:
analyze table T estimate statistics sample 10 percent
for table
for indexes
for all indexed columns size 2
;

(I may have the sample clause in the wrong place).
then the two commands will be generating different
things.  The default for analyze columns is 'size' 75,
which gives Oracle much better precision on range
scans with literal values than 'size 2' - which may be
a significant part of your problem.

Since

this.

On 
8.1.7.3 on OpenVMS the "deallocate unused keep #"  shrinks the initial 
extent.
It 
shrank a test table from 1m to 8k. I'm not sure why it chose 
8k.
(db_block_size=4k,default initial_extent

I

UKOUG get together

2003-12-03 Thread Rachel Carmichael
In the same spirit that the list organizes a gathering at Openworld, we
are  planning a get together Sunday evening December 7th, at Jurys Inn,
meeting around 7 or 7:30PM.

Those list members who are attending UKOUG are more than welcome to
join us. We are NOT organizing anything other than the gathering, once
everyone is there people can decide what they want to do next. But it's
a convenient spot (as many attendees will be staying there) and a sure
way to set up a meet. And I'm sure the hotel staff will hate me
afterwards but what the heck :)

If you're interested, just show up. Listen for the American accents and
you'll be sure to find me.

Rachel

Re: decrease initial extent

For tables/indexes, the minimum initial extent size is 2 blocks (8k = 2*
4k). Block 0 contains the segment header, block 1 contains the data/index
entries.

dbms_stats

2003-12-03 Thread Bala, Prakash
Title: RE: analyze after truncate



Hello,

Oracle 
8.1.7.4 on HP-UX 11i

A week 
ago, we replaced 'analyze table ... estimate statistics sample 10 percent' with 
dbms_stats.gather_schema_stats('x', estimate_percent=10, cascade=true, 
degree=4, method_opt=''for all indexed columns size 
2')

Performace is good against partitioned tables but not for non-partitioned 
tables. 

Saw a 
note in Metalink that its better to do the above with 'cascade=false' and 
then do a gather_index_stats separately.

In my 
tests, I see that 'analyze' makes the CBO use an index while dbms_stats is 
making the CBO to use a FTS instead.

Have 
you faced any similar issues?


TIA
Prakash

 Hi

 Has anybody experience with using unix scripts on Windows 2000 after
 installing MKS toolkit?
 Are those scripts run without major modification (after changing
 path/folder
 related info).

 My client wants to run their unix shell scripts  on their Windows 
platform
 after installing MKS toolkit version 8.6.

 Regards
 Rafiq

Hi,

Last week I installed my dataguard scripts with a customer using MKS. I
developed them on Linux and Solaris. No serious problems, except with
dynamic generation of pathnames from database views (replace '\' by '/')
and some colon-related problems when using rcp/scp (e.g.
rcp ${SHOST}:D:\ORACLE\ORADATA\SID\SYSTEM01.ORA \
${DHOST}:D:\ORACLE\ORADATA\SID\SYSTEM01.ORA )
doesn't work. replace D: by D= (and replace backslashes, of course), and
all's fine.
I got ssh to work, although setting passwordless authentication didn't
work. Because the customer has a closed environment, rsh/rcp was
sufficient. Be aware that NTFS is needed to set protection for .rhosts and
rsa/dsa private key files.
Success, Carel-Jan

RE: partitioning option licensing

Sent: Thursday, 4 December 2003 01:25
To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L


As of 9iR2, partitioning is still licensed separately as a $10K (retail) extra charge 
per processor.  So, the total retail comes to a painful $50K per processor for 9i + 
Partitioning.  Also, remember that support costs X% of the licensing per year, 
depending on your support level.  You'll have to confirm the exact numbers with your 
sales rep.  You can estimate about 22%, as I recall.
We just increased our licensing a few months ago.  Get the fastest processors you can. 
Anyone know how 10g will be licensed? 

---

Yep, absolutely no change in licensing for 10g - this from the 10g roadshow that just 
went through town.  So you'll be able to visualise and provision yourself all the 
way to bankruptcy :-)

 But LHC will be larger.  This experiment preceded the idea of the

No doubt, some of the work we have done to share the data among collaborators will be 
used in grid computing.  We also use components which are designed for grid computing. 
 So I gues the answer to your question is yes, in part.

Oracle and JMeter configuration

2003-12-03 Thread Louis Avrami


Hello all,

I'm trying to set up JMeter version 1.9.1, 

http://jakarta.apache.org/jmeter/index.html

for some testing on an Oracle 8.1.7.4 database on Solaris 2.8.
 We're running JDK 1.3, which according to the JMeter website
should work with JMeter 1.9.

I've unpacked JMeter and copied the Oracle JDBC driver files
classes12.zip and nls_charset12.zip into JMeter's lib directory.
 However, when I try to run a test case the connection fails
with the log error of

jmeter.protocol.jdbc:  java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: 
oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver


The JMeter JDBC URL settings that I am using are:

jdbc:oracle:thin:@servername:1521:ORACLE_SID
(I've also tried using the IP address)

The JMeter Driver Class setting is:

oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver


Has anyone out there set up JMeter to run against an Oracle database?
 If so, could you share your setup with me?  From what I've read
in the JMeter archives, it has been done, but it seems that no
one has detailed exactly what needs to be done.

Thanks,
Lou Avrami

 how many people are using objectivity? seems like object oriented
databases are only used in academia? i went to the website and didnt see
much documentation.

 why did you go with that over oracle?

  But LHC will be larger.  This experiment preceded the idea of the

 No doubt, some of the work we have done to share the data among
collaborators will be used in grid computing.  We also use components which
are designed for grid computing.  So I gues the answer to your question is
yes, in part.

Yes -- same platform and version.  If you look on the list archives
(fatcity.com, for example) for a subject of Burned by DBMS_STATS **AGAIN**
back in April 2003, you may get some insight.

There are also known bugs in GATHER_SCHEMA_STATS in 8i.  The recommendation
is to iteratively call GATHER_TABLE_STATS.

Hello,
 
Oracle 8.1.7.4 on HP-UX 11i
 
A week ago, we replaced 'analyze table ... estimate statistics sample 10
percent' with dbms_stats.gather_schema_stats('x', estimate_percent=10,
cascade=true, degree=4, method_opt=''for all indexed columns size 2')
 
Performace is good against partitioned tables but not for non-partitioned
tables. 
 
Saw a note in Metalink that its better to do the above with 'cascade=false'
and then do a gather_index_stats separately.
 
In my tests, I see that 'analyze' makes the CBO use an index while
dbms_stats is making the CBO to use a FTS instead.
 
Have you faced any similar issues?
 
 
TIA

Odd relink problem on Redhat 3.0

2003-12-03 Thread Mike Bates
I recently installed Oracle 9iR2 9.2.0.1 on Redhat Enterprise 3.0, install 
went fine.  After installing I did a relink of oracle - no problems except 
standards (OEM and CTX).  After applying 9.2.0.4 I am now getting the 
following error messages from relink:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] bin]$ relink all
/u02/oracle/product/9.2.0/bin/relink: line 52: [: too many arguments
/u02/oracle/product/9.2.0/bin/relink: line 192: unexpected EOF while looking 
for matching ``'
/u02/oracle/product/9.2.0/bin/relink: line 268: syntax error: unexpected end 
of file

Any ideas?

Subject:Oracle and JMeter configuration


Hello all,

I'm trying to set up JMeter version 1.9.1, 

http://jakarta.apache.org/jmeter/index.html

for some testing on an Oracle 8.1.7.4 database on Solaris 2.8.
 We're running JDK 1.3, which according to the JMeter website
should work with JMeter 1.9.

I've unpacked JMeter and copied the Oracle JDBC driver files
classes12.zip and nls_charset12.zip into JMeter's lib directory.
 However, when I try to run a test case the connection fails
with the log error of

jmeter.protocol.jdbc:  java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: 
oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver


The JMeter JDBC URL settings that I am using are:

jdbc:oracle:thin:@servername:1521:ORACLE_SID
(I've also tried using the IP address)

The JMeter Driver Class setting is:

oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver


Has anyone out there set up JMeter to run against an Oracle database?
 If so, could you share your setup with me?  From what I've read
in the JMeter archives, it has been done, but it seems that no
one has detailed exactly what needs to be done.

Thanks,
Lou Avrami

 Oracle was by no means ready to support a database as large as Babar's.
When the experiment began,  the biggest Oracle databases were around one
terabyte.  There was also the RD45 project at CERN which weighed heavily on
the decision.  If we were to do it now, we would probably use Oracle.

 I know that at least one major telecomunications company uses or use to
use objectivity to hold switch information.

RE: dbms_stats

2003-12-03 Thread Wolfgang Breitling
Maybe I didn't make my point clear enough. If you use 
dbms_stats.gather_table_stats with  method_opt=''for all indexed columns 
size 2' , i.e. any other than size 1, dbms_stats in Oracle 8i will  issue 
an analyze ...  command to gather the statistics. Run a sql_trace if you 
don't believe me. Therefore the results of gathering statistics with 
dbms_stats are no different than gathering them with the equivalent analyze 
command.
It is different if you use the default method_opt (for all columns size 1). 
Then gather_table_stats uses its own sql to collect table and column ( 
num_distinct, min, max, null, avg_col_length) statistics. For index 
statistics always resorts to the analyze command.

That all changes in Oracle 9i. There the gather procedures do their own 
work and do not use analyze anymore.

How did you determine the bucket size of 2?

And no, I have not had any issues with analyze for partitioned tables; 
however, I do not gather histograms blindly on all indexed columns. Only on 
a few columns with highly skewed data content and some of them are on 
partitioned tabled.

At 09:29 PM 12/3/2003, you wrote:
The reason why we switched from 'analyze table .. 10 percent' is because 
when we partitioned some of the huge tables, the query performance against 
these tables was really bad. 'Gather_table_stats' with size 2 on indexed 
columns did a much better job.

Have you had issues with 'analyze' against partitioned tables?

-Original Message-
Wolfgang Breitling
Sent: Wednesday, December 03, 2003 5:29 PM
To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L
In Oracle 8i you may as well stick with analyze since the dbms_stats call
you use translates simply into a
   analyze table ... ESTIMATE statistics sample 10 percent FOR TABLE FOR
ALL INDEXES for all indexed columns size 2
Why did you go from a simple analyze to gathering histograms on all indexed
columns? I question the rationale of gathering histograms of size 2.
Aside from that, I question the rationale of a blanket histogram gathering
(regardless of # of buckets) on all indexed or all columns. Histograms
are like medicine. In the right (i.e. sparing dose) they are a therapeutic
tool. In the wrong, especially too high dose, they become poison.
