RE: Cold Fusion and Bind Variables
Hi Jared, Look at QFQUERYPARM: Usage The CFQUERYPARAM is designed to do the following things: Allows the use of SQL bind parameters. Allows long text fields to be updated from an SQL statement. Improves performance. The ColdFusion ODBC, DB2, Informix, Oracle 7 and Oracle 8 driverssupport SQL bind parameters. However, at present, the ColdFusion Sybase 11 driver and Sybase native driver do not support SQL bind parameters. If a database does not support bind parameters, ColdFusion still performs validation and substitutes the validated parameter value back into the string. If validation fails, an error message is returned.

I'd like to know other people's approach on forecasting the growth of their databases particularly on determining the (growth) rate of disk space usage and on deciding when to add and how many disk to add on an Oracle server. Thanks in advance. Best Regards, Rhojel Hi Rhojel, http://www.baarf.com not organized, just a brain dump. use a UPS and configure it to properly shutdown the instance should it be running out of power. use battery backed-up cache (NVRAM) on your host-based RAID controllers. replace or recharge the battery as perscribed in the manual (or you'll be testing media recovery in an unscheduled fashion). enable write-back caching on your host-based RAID controller (if you have satisfied the above conditions). Base the number of disks on the number of IOPS (independent operations per second) the storage subsystem must handle in steady state, and in peak usage, and on the response time that exists in the service level agreement with your users. It will be very likely that you will not be constrained on space, but on controller channels and physical hard drives (e.g. having 24 x 36 GB hard drives, but only having an 18 GB database - I am not kidding). Spread the disks out across controllers and controller channels such that controller bandwidth is not the limiting factor. Spread controllers across PCI-X bus channels. use dedicated drives for online redo logs. At least have 2 redo log members per group on separate controllers. Provided that one member per group is still accessible, you can take a hit in terms of losing a volume and your instance(s) will still be up. Don't use more than 50% of the space of your RAID volumes for live files. Don't even create filesystems for live files on the remaining 50%, or use them for staging backup sets or for trial recoveries. This will keep your mean seek time down, reducing latency. better yet, don't format them at all. Beware of Network Admins chanting iSCSI that want to store their files on your unused space. If need be, create bogus tablespaces with say 1 GB datafiles to consume the excess space. drop them. when its time to add a datafile, re-use the bogus datafiles. in the meantime, the storage reports from the OS won't turn up loads of free space. If your SysAdmins are crafty and will see through this ploy, create raw volumes on the unused space and label them in a very cryptic fashion, or say that they are for when you are going to partition the large fact tables. use dedicated drives for your archived redo logs. use a stripe size that is a multiple of your operating system max IO size. set your db file multiblock read count accordingly. don't set it too high, as the CBO will think its time to chow down and grab blocks by the 32 pack instead of using that index that the developer intended. have space for cloned databases for testing new application updates, new oracle server software releases, on disk backup sets, uncompressed archived redo logs since your last full backup, logical dumps, copies of binaries and patch sets. All of these can help reduce mean time to recovery in the event that you need to perform media recovery or re-install the database server software. if you intend to use dbms_flashback or select AS OF ... use dedicated drives for your UNDO tablespace. use tape for getting backup sets offsite. recover from local storage. use dedicated drives for your TEMPORARY tablespace's temp files, unless you have so much memory that you don't sort to disk. Remember that global temporary tables and hash joins can write out to TEMP also. segregate files on RAID volumes based upon access methods. If you want an agressive read-ahead algorithm to be used for full table scans, don't store index data files there that are only accessed a block at a time. stripe and mirror everything if you can. even numbers are best, multiples of 2 work well with Oracle block sizes (4 or 8 disk RAID 10 volume). by now, 24 drives looks about halfway there, doesn't it? My point is, that if you have enough drives to keep your CPUs well fed, you likely won't have any space concerns. it is customary to include your server OS and Oracle version. as this is a storage question, you might want to include the storage system manufacturer if you are not going with direct attached storage. Based upon someone's posting about his monday morning having 20 database instances crashed due to a sysadmin pulling a cable, use redundant data paths if possible.

Re: Disk capacity planning
Hi Rhojel, You've had some responses that go beyond your forecasting question. I'll go the simple-minded route here. Maybe there is some canned software out there that will do it but it seems vendors stay away from forecasting future growth. Maybe this is to avoid being held accountable for faulty results (probably shouldn't trust my answer either...). Anyway, I was taught that the first rule of forecasting is that the forecast will be wrong. This doesn't mean you shouldn't forecast the growth of your database. It just means that you need to follow your forecast on a regular basis and note variances (ie: significant changes to growth rates) and ask questions. A spike in growth can be a development boo-boo, new functionality, growth in business, or something else. A simple approach is to track (at least monthly...depending on your comfort zone) the physical size of tablespaces and actual data and calculate net changes in size between your forecasting periods (eg: Month). Summarize this and calculate the average rate over time (eg: Year). Given the average rate and the last rate, you can forecast your growth using both rates over some horizon (1 year? 2 years?) and compare it to your available diskspace. You should be able to identify when you'll run out...but don't assume this will be correct. Also track significant events that may have driven growth. And if there is a major difference between the average growth rate and the last growth rate...it's analysis time. There are fancier forecasting methods like exponential smoothing and so on but the simple approach might get you started. But you need to keep testing results to see if your situation has changed. The above would be a fairly simple spreadsheet. Kip Bryant |Hi everyone! |Can anybody point me to any good documentation regarding disk capacity |planning?

SQL*Net bytes per session over time
Friends --
My pesky users want to be able to see how many bytes are flying over the
wire by process given a start time and end time... here's what I had that
they want to use as a basis going forward...
select osuser,username,terminal,program,name,value
from (
select osuser,username, terminal,program,name,value
from v$session a, v$sesstat b, v$statname c
where a.sid=b.sid
and b.statistic#=c.statistic#
and c.name like '%SQL*N%'
and osuser=decode(lower('user'),'all',osuser,lower('user'))
and program is not null
and value != 0
order by value desc )
where rownum = 10
/
Now, given that they want to pass in a start time and end time, seems to me
that they want historical information that v$session just isn't going to
give me... and, aside from logon_time, v$session isn't going to give me any
time at all. Is what they're asking for possible? Is there some table
somewhere that tracks SQL*Net activity at this level with timestamps

data file permissions --
Hello All, I have a question on data file permissions. When i add a new data file, it gets created as -rw-r- Umask for oracle user is 022. There is a unix user who wants read access to the data files since they are read by fastunload process (syncsort). When i do a touch on any file in that same directory the permission reads as -rw-r--r-- which coincides with the umask set. Could someone please tell me how the data files get -rw-r and NOT -rw-r--r--. Oracle file permission reads -rwsr-s--x Thank You, Sathish. -- http://www.fastmail.fm - Choose from over 50 domains or use your own -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.net -- Author: INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services-- 858-538-5051 http://www.fatcity.com San Diego, California-- Mailing list and web hosting services - To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).

Re: data file permissions --
Oracle data files are read BY ORACLE SERVER PROCESSES ONLY! The only unloader that reads files directly is the notorious DUL. I haven't had any experiences with DUL, but according to what I know, I wouldn't even want to have it. Now there is a system call named chmod and oracle takes care that only oracle RDBMS can access files. Nobody but the DBA can even sniff database files. Please, execute that user.

RE: Shared Pool fragmentation
Rick, I think the best answer is 'know thy application'. And in this, knowledge of bind var vs hardcoded value usage, looking at V$SQL and V$SQLAREA, the ratio (!!) of 'parse count (hard)' to 'parse count (total)', pinning of packages/sequences, etc., can help... You cannot actually 'catch' a 4031 before it occurs, but you can always straighten things out before it occurs. I have found that a combination of pinning Packages/Sequences followed by judicious (once in a while) use of shared pool flush helps. Of course, the shared pool has to be correctly sized - too much and you waste time latching and memory, too little and you _might_ run into 4031. Sizing shared pool is an art that has a little science behind it - science that involves understanding and using values from X$KGLOB and X$KSMSP and your application OTOH, I have seen good results with a flush shared pool during quiet times for non-bind hungry 3rd party apps... See below (script courtersy Steve!) - the number of chunks has dropped dramatically freeing up largish globs of shared pool that would otherwise have to be freed up when a largish object (in this case 15456 bytes) has to load.

And in this, knowledge of bind var vs hardcoded value usage, looking at V$SQL and V$SQLAREA, the ratio (!!) of 'parse count (hard)' to 'parse count (total)', pinning of packages/sequences, etc., can help... You cannot actually 'catch' a 4031 before it occurs, but you can always straighten things out before it occurs. I have found that a combination of pinning Packages/Sequences followed by judicious (once in a while) use of shared pool flush helps. Of course, the shared pool has to be correctly sized - too much and you waste time latching and memory, too little and you _might_ run into 4031. Sizing shared pool is an art that has a little science behind it - science that involves understanding and using values from X$KGLOB and X$KSMSP and your application OTOH, I have seen good results with a flush shared pool during quiet times for non-bind hungry 3rd party apps... See below (script courtersy Steve!) - the number of chunks has dropped dramatically freeing up largish globs of shared pool that would otherwise have to be freed up when a largish object (in this case 15456 bytes) has to load.

Import foibles
My apologies if there are multiple copies of this.
Something funky going on with email from work.
First, the basics:
System Configuration: Sun Microsystems sun4u SUN Enterprise 420R (2 X
UltraSPARC-II 450MHz)
System clock frequency: 113 MHz
Memory size: 1024 Megabytes
= CPUs =
Run Ecache CPUCPU
Brd CPU Module MHz MBImpl. Mask
--- --- --- - -- --
0 2 2 450 4.0 US-II10.0
0 3 3 450 4.0 US-II10.0
The CPU's are about 95% idle. Not much memory paging activity.
The disk is (gasp!) a single RAID 5 volume. As this is a mostly read
system, it (usually) doesn't matter.
Oracle is 8.1.7.2
Doing an import into the database with the following script:
imp userid=$USERNAME/[EMAIL PROTECTED] \
file=/u03/tmp/${OWNER}_dv01.dmp \
buffer=10485760 \
fromuser=$OWNER \
touser=$OWNER \
ignore=y \
commit=y \
constraints=n \
indexes=n \
grants=n \
log=imp_${OWNER}.log
Notice that the buffer is 10m and commit=y.
This job is running very slowly. Querying v$session_event reveals many
and
long waits for log file sync.

9 rows selected.
Notice that the value for log file sync seems a bit high for a session
that has been connected for a little over 2 hours.
Even so, it does accumulate rapidly. 10 seconds of activity garners 8
seconds of log file sync waits.
This is not a terribly fast system, but it should not be this slow.
The following query shows that the average blocks per commit is about 4.5.
select blocks_changed, user_commits,
blocks_changed / user_commits blocks_per_commit
from (
select
stat.value blocks_changed
from v$sesstat stat, v$statname name, v$session sess
where
stat.sid = sess.sid
and stat.statistic# = name.statistic#
and name.name = 'db block changes'
and stat.sid = 12
) r1,
(
select
stat.value user_commits
from v$sesstat stat, v$statname name, v$session sess
where
stat.sid = sess.sid
and stat.statistic# = name.statistic#
and name.name = 'user commits'
and stat.sid = 12
) r2
With an 8k block, that is about 36k per commit. Somewhat less than the
10m per commit I expected.
Suspecting that the LONG datatype in some of the tables may be the
culprit, a quick perusal of TFM
reveals the following regarding the use of the LONG datatype with the imp
utility:
The integer specified for BUFFER is the size, in bytes, of the buffer
through which data rows are transferred.
BUFFER determines the number of rows in the array inserted by Import.
The following formula gives an approximation of the buffer size that
inserts a given array of rows:
buffer_size = rows_in_array * maximum_row_size
For tables containing LONG, LOB, BFILE, REF, ROWID, UROWID, or DATE
columns, rows are inserted individually.
The size of the buffer must be large enough to contain the entire row,
except for LOB and LONG columns.
If the buffer cannot hold the longest row in a table, Import attempts to
allocate a larger buffer.
So, the buffer parameter has no effect on tables containing columns of the
type long, lob, bfile, ref, rowid, urowid or date.
This seems rather limiting for such an important utility. This applies to
versions 8.1.7 and 9.2.0
I ran a test to load 90k rows into 2 different tables, the only difference
being that one used a long column for text and
the other used a varchar2(4000).
The long table took 90 seconds to load with imp and committed every 4.5
blocks.
The varchar2 table took 9 seconds to load and committed every 1000 blocks.
This is know doubt old hat to many of you, but it's the first time I can
recall encountering this. Don't
really use imp too much.

WHERE (m.first_return between '01/01/2003' and '12/31/2003'
or m.second_return between '01/01/2003 and '12/31/2003'
or m.second_return between '01/01/2003 and '12/31/2003')
and ms.journal_id = j.journal_id
and M.MSNUMBER_JCODE = ms.journal_id
and M.MSNUMBER_YRISSUE = ms.yr_of_issue

or second_recommend not in

order by 1)
GROUP BY ROLLUP(COUNTRY)
And the output:
COUNTRYCOUNT_MSS
AUSTRALIA 1
AUSTRIA 2
BELGIUM 4
CANADA 20
CHILE 1
CHINA 3
CZECH REPUBLIC1
DENMARK 4
ENGLAND 10
46
Is there a way I can also display a percentage column, that is the
percentage of the total in the same SQL statement?
As always thanks so much!

Re: oaktable people
Lies, lies and viscious rumors. It was only the loft of the Garage, and the idea was to create a new, exciting space for the Oracle Museum, complete with webcams. I had planned the Miracle Master Class Teambuilding Exercise as follows: 1. On Sunday evening we would (slowly!) move the stuff from the loft downstairs and stack it carefully. 2. On Monday evening we would put in the new flooring. 3. On Tuesday evening we would put the stacked stuff back up on the loft. As it turned out, it ended up a bit different from the original plan: 1. On Sunday it took the Oakies about 42 minutes to remove everything from the loft. Most of it was thrown out, and Peter Gram even had to rent a new trailer for the junk. 2. Lex and Carel-Jan and Gary Goodman and James Morle and Jon (from Miracle Iceland) were un-stopable and made 80% of the flooring on Sunday. 3. On Monday Lex got the bright idea of doing some heavy changes to the whole construction of the Garage. Which he and Carel-Jan and helpers then did. 4. On Tuesday evening nobody did anything except participate in the Gala Dinner and visit the famous hotdog stand Bjarne's Poelser. 5. I don't know when the stuff is going up there again. I'm afraid.

read-only simple snapshot/materialised view refresh
Hello everyone, We've got read-only primary key snapshots in our 8.1.7.4 databases. 1 master. 1 slave. master and slave are on different servers. Snapshots are refreshed by the FAST method using dbms_refresh.refresh. However, do to the extremely high transaction rates on our database, we're getting ORA-1555 when trying to refresh the snapshots. The mlog$ tables builds up and the slave just keeps on falling behind. From what I can see, snapshots are refreshed as a single large transaction. So if there are 500K rows in the mlog$ table, all 500K will be processed in one go. There are no intermediate commits. So my question is: how do you specify a commit point with snapshots? I'm looking for parameters similar to that of the exp and sqlldr utility where you can specify commit points. I've logged an iTAR with Oracle Support and there answer is that it's not possible. ARGH!! Here's another crazy question is - has anyone updated the dbms_refresh package to add a commit point? Or, have you tried to interogate the mlog$ and write a PL/SQL procedure to process the rows in there, thereby having your own commit points? mlog$ provides the primary keys and the DML type. So surely it's just a matter of going through each one of the row and applying it to the slave?

Thanks again guys and best regards, Rhojel [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent by: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 01/14/2004 01:54 AM Please respond to ORACLE-L To:Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc:(bcc: Rhojel Echano/Manila/PH/SGS) Subject:Re: Disk capacity planning Hi Rhojel, You've had some responses that go beyond your forecasting question. I'll go the simple-minded route here. Maybe there is some canned software out there that will do it but it seems vendors stay away from forecasting future growth. Maybe this is to avoid being held accountable for faulty results (probably shouldn't trust my answer either...). Anyway, I was taught that the first rule of forecasting is that the forecast will be wrong. This doesn't mean you shouldn't forecast the growth of your database. It just means that you need to follow your forecast on a regular basis and note variances (ie: significant changes to growth rates) and ask questions. A spike in growth can be a development boo-boo, new functionality, growth in business, or something else. A simple approach is to track (at least monthly...depending on your comfort zone) the physical size of tablespaces and actual data and calculate net changes in size between your forecasting periods (eg: Month). Summarize this and calculate the average rate over time (eg: Year). Given the average rate and the last rate, you can forecast your growth using both rates over some horizon (1 year? 2 years?) and compare it to your available diskspace. You should be able to identify when you'll run out...but don't assume this will be correct. Also track significant events that may have driven growth. And if there is a major difference between the average growth rate and the last growth rate...it's analysis time. There are fancier forecasting methods like exponential smoothing and so on but the simple approach might get you started. But you need to keep testing results to see if your situation has changed. The above would be a fairly simple spreadsheet. Kip Bryant |Hi everyone! |Can anybody point me to any good documentation regarding disk capacity |planning?
