Re: Create Directory - Statemen

2001-06-09 Thread Azhar Siddiq

Nirmal,
Create directory command simply creates a database object,Client system
directory path can't be given during its creation. it is  used with LOB
manipulation, DBMS_LOB package read and write  operations are related to
this directorty path given during creation.
For more details, do check DBMS_LOB samples.

 Hi all,

 Can anyone please tell me what is the use of the 'CREATE DIRECTORY' sql
 statement.

 Hope that it would be used on LOB datatype manipulations.

 Please enlighten me.

 Regards,
 Nirmal.

RE: Performance tuning

2001-05-31 Thread azhar


Database parameters were slightly changed for the second run and SGA was
made only 140 MB.
Loading was done without indexes and  SQL loader parameters were changed to
Readsize=10m, Bindsize=10m and Rows=5000.
It took almost same time for about 21 hours  but again it committed 8-10
times ( first 5) very quickly.

Real bottleneck is RAM (as pointed out by all) since commit charge in NT
task manager was almost double than
the physical memory.

But since the data is loaded , we are through. Thanks to every one who
responded

I don't know what is causing this, but I would keep an eye on physical
memory available vs. commit charge in Task Manager, I strongly recommend
your commit charge never exceed your physical memory.

I found that Oracle sometimes refuses to even start services when it runs
out of physical memory, it doesn't like virtual memory very much.
Shrinking
the size of your SGA is preferable to exceeding the available physical
memory, in my opinion.  Keep in mind session memory space in your
calculations, and the other programs you may be running on your machine.

I recommend you stop all the services (in Services applet) that you dare
stop, to lighten the load.

In the virtual memory settings, allocate the amount you want, but try to
avoid a range of values - when initial and max size values are different NT
keeps polling the pagefile and memory statistics to figure out if the
pagefile should grow or shrink.  Better to do that manually up front,
allocate at set amount.  NT then stops doing extra work regarding memory
allocation.

Every little bit helps.

I haven't used SQL*Loader, so I can't say much about that, except... when
you start loading those first few rows, what does Commit Charge look like
in
Task Manager?  Is it growing?  If it is, notice how slowly NT does this.
It
can't be helped.  If commit charge approaches physical memory available,
you
will hit a ceiling I think.  Then things may well slow down to a crawl.

Is there a buffer size you can set for SQL*Loader?  I always set my exp
buffer size to 100 to speed it up.  Maybe you can do the same for
SQL*Loader.  That must use more memory though.

Can you commit every few records?  Could it be every 10 rows? Would it be
better not to commit too often?

As mentioned before, RAID 5 will prove slower than simple disk or RAID 01
or
RAID 10.

Do you have many indexes on the tables you are filling up?  You may want to
drop them and re-create them once the load is finished.

This may sound silly but... do you have a virus checking program running

Performance tuning

2001-05-30 Thread azhar


HI ALL,
We have to load almost 3 millions records of average row size of 150 bytes.
We are importing data using sqloader with ROWS=4000 and bindsize=845 .
We have adjusted the rollback segment to almost  10 m with 8 extents enough
for single transaction size and considering 30% rollback overhead. We
adjusted the OPTIMAL TO 10 M to have avoid rollback extension
Rollback segment, databuffer cache have hit ratio of 100%.

The loading was fast only for first 10 commits but then it slowed like
snail. LOADING TOOK 22 hours in the first run on ORACLE8i NT4 128 megs RAM
.
SGA figures in M :
NAME VALUE
 -
Fixed Size.0676384
Variable Size239.02734
Database Buffers   39.0625
Redo Buffers 7.8203125
 -
sum  285.97779
( we can't use direct path due to functions in sqlldr controlfile). .
Couldn't figure out the bottleneck yet.
Any ideas.
TIA

One of the other DBAs here called me over to look at a weird situation.

We resized some datafiles, the size of the datafiles increased on the OS
and
in dba_data_files but there are no entries for that tablespace in
dba_free_space.  Currently:

DBA_DATA_FILES - 11451M total size of datafiles (this agrees with OS)
DBA_SEGMENTS  DBA_EXTENTS - 10752M total size of extents/segments
DBA_FREE_SPACE - no entries

Oracle 8.1.5.1.0
Solaris 2.6

Any idea what might cause this?

Thanks,

Hi ,
destroy=y option doesn't  meet the requirement . I checked the oracle docs

data and then insert into appropriate tables as william pointed out.

 Subject:   RE: Exp Imp  Overwirte posiible or not?

 The DESTROY option on an import indicates whether the CREATE TABLESPACE
 commands only found in a full export should be executed. Setting
DESTROY=Y
 destroys the data files of the database being imported into. This is only
 used when you want to rebuild an entire database, not to overwrite data
in
 tables. If you really need the empty all the tables in a schema, disable
 the constraints on the tables, truncate them, and reenable the
 constraints. This will only work if the schema is self contained, and
it's
 tables are not used as a foreign key for a table in a different schema.
  [EMAIL PROTECTED] 03/27/01 01:50PM 
 IIRC, there is a flag for import "destroy=y" to do what you want.  This
is
 very dangerous and you should research all the implications before trying
 it.  If you don't have the docs, try http://technet.oracle.com and read
up
 on the import options.
