Re: storage parameters

2002-05-29 Thread Tim Gorman

If the uniform-sized extents are sized so that the initial load will have to
allocate 50 or 100 or 400 extents, how much processing overhead do you
think that dictionary-managed extent allocation operation will really
consume, especially if the search of FET$ within those operations is made
simpler by uniform-sized extents throughout the tablespace?  Quite
insignificant.  Please measure it sometime...

This opposed to the wasted effort by DBAs/developers in attempting to
calculate the correct sized initial extent for each table, plus the wasted
processing in searching the FET$ table when the tablespace inevitably
becomes fragmented due to non-uniform extent sizes, not to mention the
time wasted by sales charlatans selling the latest defragmentation tool.
I'm always struck by the way such tablespace defragmentation utilities
resemble hangover remedies that include large amounts of alcohol...  :-)
Yeah, it makes you feel good -- for a couple more hours.  Then...

The concept of extents was devised to introduce the ability to adapt to
long-term growth in space management.  It is a tool to be used wisely, not a
nuisance to be overcome.  Following the train of thought of one extent
good, many extents bad is simply wrong and a slippery slope to
frustration...

Wise use involves uniform-sized extents when possible, or at least a small
number of extent sizes which are multiples of one another, as a second-best.
The locally-managed tablespace mechanism shows both of those best
practices encapsulated.  The mechanism introduced in Oracle8 v8.0 of the
MINIMUM EXTENT clause for the CREATE/ALTER TABLESPACE command with
dictionary-managed tablespaces represents an earlier attempt at the same set
of best practices...

 Rachel,

No benefit when the data is loaded, but there is justification to it
 if it avoids extent allocations during the load - at least for a
 dictionary managed tablespace.

RE: storage parameters

of course, I was selfishly thinking of this only from the perspective
of the DBA and not the pocketbooks of the storage manufacturers

   An example:  Think of load a lot of data into a table, and then

   very limited basis.   This tells me to create a large first
 extent
   that 
   everything can fit into.  Example:  Say 100M  and then you may
 want
   to make 
   next extents 5M.   Based on the fact that you won't be reaching
 the
   second 
   extent for a while.
   
   Also the temp tablespace is used to sort.   I had an instance
 where
   the 
   sorts were taking a long time.   I looked at the temp tablespace
 and
   found 
   out that my current sort was using 300 extents of a very 
  small size. 
I 
   increase my extent size to a large number, where the sort 
  only took 4
   
   extents and it really speeded up my sort.   To optimize
 everything I
   look at 
   the majority of my sorts and tried to make my first entent 
  give me 90
   % of 
   these sorts.  Which was somewhat small, and then I made my next
   extents 
   large enough so my largest sort did not use more than about 
  (5 to 10)
   
   extents.

   Hi,
   
   Does Oracle reccommend having the initial and next extents set
 at
   the same
   values???
   I am tidying up a current schema and the values are non uniform
 all
   the way
   through- any comments would be very much appreciated

Rachel,

   No benefit when the data is loaded, but there is justification to it
if it avoids extent allocations during the load - at least for a
dictionary managed tablespace.

Re: storage parameters

2002-05-28 Thread Rachel Carmichael

but if the load is a one time thing (as he described) then the
allocation hit happens only once and I still don't see a benefit and in
fact can see how it might hurt -- tablespace fragmentation etc

I'd rather see large extents but more of them
