RE: What's your opinion: ALL_ROWS vs. FIRST_ROWS **CLOSED**

2002-11-11 Thread Armstead, Michael A
Thanks everyone.

I did decide on CHOOSE. 

It seemed like the best choice considering most of our queries aren't run
interactively through tools like SQL*Plus. In fact it should become an even
better choice as our applications are becoming more and more browser based.
ALL_ROWS also looked like it would be the best choice considering our batch
reporting requirements.

 Hi Mike,
 
  Your article was very good in describing RBO vs. CBO. I hope 
  you don't mind
  me using it to help better describe why we're switching from 
  RBO to CBO to
  my team.
 
 I forgot to mention this before, but you should also look at Tim Gorman's
 excellent paper on the CBO at http://www.evdbt.com - search in the
 library.
  
  On the other hand it didn't help me much in practical use of ALL_ROWS
  (CHOOSE) vs. FIRST_ROWS. I understand this was out of the scope of the
  paper.
 
 Yes, but we can always discuss this here in the list :) The problem I have
 with the FIRST_ROWS is that _all_ queries would default to use this mode.
 While this may be good for a specific interactive query, it certainly
 would
 perform poorly for batch jobs, more so when the table joins larger tables.
 IMHO, you are better off leaving it to default to CHOOSE and control
 specific modes. This can be done via a variety of methods, including login
 triggers, Outlines, anf finally the code itself.
  
  Note: When leaving your web page I was notified that my IP address was
  captured. I didn't like that.
 
 My web page is served by Yahoo! Geocities, and I obtained that when it was
 free (and still is free). I suppose that they capture some info and do
 manipulate cookies. This is the first time, though that I have come across
 such a message. I will need to investigate further...

What's your opinion: ALL_ROWS vs FIRST_ROWS

2002-10-29 Thread Armstead, Michael A
We're moving from RBO to CBO. 

For those of you who use CBO, what mode do you use FIRST_ROWS or ALL_ROWS?
And why?

My thinking is if it's a database where most of the querying is done on
small sets of records, then we may want to use FIRST_ROWS. On the other
hand, if our database is used to generate sizable reports, we might use
ALL_ROWS.

I also understand that we can always change it per session (with alter
session) and per query (with hints).

Oracle, applications user group resume conference feud

2001-05-29 Thread Armstead, Michael A
. 
But in a response http://www.oaug.org/member_comm.html posted on the
OAUG's Web site, Young said Oracle's proposal is largely similar to the
one rejected by the user group's members last year. Young also claimed that
the written version of the firm's proposal contained a variety of errors
and omissions, and he said OAUG officials continue to be disappointed by
Oracle's inability to compromise. 
In addition, Young took Oracle to task for not giving the OAUG advance
notice of its plans to go public with the proposal. We had sought to avoid
going into details on the discussions in public, as we felt that might
jeopardize progress, he wrote. I am not clear what your purpose was in
doing so ... I am forced to wonder whether Oracle [is] really negotiating in
good faith in this matter.

 We still have Bronze support which you can no longer get but we would not

RE: Unix memory used

2001-04-04 Thread Armstead, Michael A

Just from looking at what you've described, you don't use the memory you
have on the machine. But I'm on the outside looking in. If your databases
are memory bound, my recommendation is to look into tuning your database
memory first, and expanding each SGA.

I'm also assuming that this is only a database server.

 Subject:  Unix memory used
 
   Hello list,
 
   We have a Sun e3500 with 4x300 MH processors, 1 GB Ram and OS 2.6.
 The server runs 4 small instances ( 7.3.4.5), two PeopleSoft apps and one
 more help desk app. As the below shows, or SGA's are very small (same for
 all 4 databases):
 
   SVRMGR show sga
   Total System Global Area 6278336 bytes
   Fixed Size 39816 bytes
   Variable Size 4567352 bytes
   Database Buffers 1638400 bytes
   Redo Buffers 32768 bytes
 
   I'm looking for some ammunition to make a case to increase the RAM.
 Yes, some database response is slow, however before I start tuning,
 especially memory sizes, I really think any efforts will be wasted if the
 memory is constantly thrashing to disk. I've been given access to top, and
 it reports the following:
 
   Memory: 1024M real, 15M free, 198M swap in use, 571M swap free (at
 8:30 am on weekday)
 
   I guess I'm asking if I can say with validity that our memory is
 presently being used up, and the "198 MB swap in use" is a real number.
 Also, our SAs don't monitor memory use, so if anyone has any good tool,
 tricks, book references, etc...that I can use to see this kind of thing,
 I'd
 appreciated it.

RE: Unix memory used

2001-04-04 Thread Armstead, Michael A

I guessed (emphasis on "guess") that you weren't using the memory you had
because you originally showed your SGAs were very small. I looked at a Sun
server that I run 2 databases on and the Total SGA for my training database
was 35 MB, while my production was over 100Mb.

Another thing I said, that was very important is, was I assume that this is
only a database server. If your application is running here too, then you
have to consider the apps memory requirements too. If your machine is
exclusively a database server, then you should be able to divide the memory
for Oracle processes, Oracle User processes, and the OS.

Considering what I said, I recommend that you start your evaluation by
tuning the memory of your databases because you don't know that you need
more memory yet. You may be able to change some init.ora parameters and give
yourself some huge performance gains. Management tends to like that! :-)

Good luck!

 Michael,
 
 Yes, that's what I want to do. In fact, I've pin pointed some areas, such
 as
 redolog buffers that can user larger memory segments. However I do not
 want
 to do this at the expense of the servers total memory use. That's why I'm
 wondering about the overall memory use (all databases and apps). Just out
 of
 curiosity, what makes you say I'm not using all the memory I have?

Start with "Oracle8 Server Utilities" that comes with the Oracle
Documentation Set. You may be able to find it at http:\\docs.oracle.com.

 Does anyone have an idea of how often this view is updated?  Not just upon

We can see a significant increase in generated redo information on both
Solaris and HP-UX platforms. I think it has also been documented.

 Just rolled out version 8.1.6 to our first "serious"  application. 
 
 It appears that more redo is being generated with the newer software. 
 
 Does that sound accurate? 
 
 Or is my application owner not telling me the truth regarding his 
 activities?
