I'm still messing with my enqueue waits on an insert. I'm now able to recreate it on a test database by throwing enough simultaneous inserts at my table. I was going to make sure which of the tables/indexes was actually causing the waits by individually raising the INITRANS above what they would

Hash Anti Join Requirements

2002-03-04 Thread Larry Elkins
Listers, Some conditions have to be met before a HASH ANTI JOIN can be used (either by hint or by setting always_anti_join=hash). The ones I have come across are (1) the column in the NOT IN query must be NOT NULL (or constraining criteria specified that says NOT NULL for the column, and that's

Read Consistency ITL's

2002-03-04 Thread Rajesh . Rao
Hello Gurus, As I understand it. In order to provide a read consistent view of the data while reading a data block, Oracle looks at the SCN in the block header, and compares it to the snapshot of the SCN taken when the read commenced. If the Snapshot SCN is less than the SCN in the block header,

# of datafiles per tablespace

2002-03-04 Thread Kimberly Smith
OK, I know we had the debate already but lets have another go at it. Say you got a tablespace, lets call it RBS and its for rollbacks. Now, for what reason would you create a 500M file and 4 50M files for this puppy as opposed to just one file. I just cannot see the reasoning for this at all.
