Title: RE: Delete slowing..



Hi,

Perhaps you check the Indexes against that table, you can drop the index 
first,
you 
may consider a TRUNCATE TABLE command if you not need the rollback 
option.

  Mark, something else to add to your list of things to 
  check Does a FTS of the table take a long time as 
  well? If so I would try re-creating the table to 
  remove the space left by previously deleted rows.

I think the condition used to delete the records for table is not matching
with the indexes of that table. check the indexes properly and the delete
statement also accordingly and make sure that the condition/column which is
given to delete is present in the index.

RE: Delete slowing..

2001-11-29 Thread Mark Leith

Hi all,

Thanks for your responses on this - I had most of them in mind - but there
were a couple out there (PCTUSED/PCTFREE and child table FK/indexes) that I
hadn't thought of.

To give you a little more info on this - and let you know what I know so
far:

This is on an 8.0.6 database running in RULE based optimisation. The table
in question only has 100,000 rows in it! The delete was running fine until
they upgraded the database, and the application, when it went up to 50
minutes!

Now, I chatted to the client yesterday, who also told me that they haven't
rebuilt the indexes since the upgrade, and that the table in question has
recently had a chunk of data imported in to it. This has happened a couple
of times sine the upgrade also.

I have asked them to rebuild the indexes on the table in question first of
all to see if this improves performance in anyway (I suspect it will). I
don't think stats will be the issue, though I have asked her to check if
there are stats on the table, just in case they have been computed in error
and making the statement run in COST inadvertently..

She will also be checking on any schema changes (indexes dropped), and Lisa
and Tom's suggestion of the missing FK/Index combination (thanks).

I'll let you know what fixes the problem (if any of it does..). Failing all
of this I've asked her for the explain plan and statement..

Cheers

Mark

Hi Mark,

It actually shouldn't matter if you are really in RULE, but in Choose, where

you expect to have and NO STATS performing using RBO by default, you 
should issue the command 

analyze index index-name delete statistics

After rebuilding the index.

Hope this helps,

Not necessarily.

You could rebuild and then analyze and delete the statistics.

 I think the condition used to delete the records for table is not matching
 with the indexes of that table. check the indexes properly and the delete
 statement also accordingly and make sure that the condition/column which
is
 given to delete is present in the index.

 'We have done nothing and suddenly it's slow' is a well known tune.
 Usual suspects :
 1) Stats, computed or deleted
 2) Dropped index
 3) Newly created trigger
 4) Locks. Nobody doing DML on the same table during the delete ?

Title: RE: Delete slowing..





Mark, something else to add to your list of things to check
Does a FTS of the table take a long time as well? 
If so I would try re-creating the table to remove the space left by previously deleted rows.

Mark,

check for foreign key/missing index combinations.  If the table is a parent
table, and it's child's foreign key's column is not indexed, the delete can
take *forever* if the child is a large table.
