SOLVED !!! - RE: Need help tuning FTS

All, Thanks for your help - the issue is now resolved. The culprit was not the 3 million row table but the smaller table (CECO_INTERFACE_KEYS). The selectivity of the PK index on this table in prod was very poor (the PK has 3 columns whereas the select is using just the first column) and the

Wild guess, way out of left field, is there a sequence in the select statement, that might have a high cache value in QA, but a low cache value in prod? -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, June 06, 2001 2:47 PM To: Multiple

I would recommend uping the parameter _DB_BLOCK_HASH_LATCHES by default after I believe 2000 block buffers, it defaults to 1024 all the way up to 10 blocks buffers if i remember correctly. This will generate alot of the #66 latch contention. This shouldn't equate to 6 hours compared to 10

Yosi, Thanks for your input ! No, there is no reference to a sequence. The offending statement is SELECT SUBSTR(INTERFACE_LINE_ATTRIBUTE6,1,LENGTH(INTERFACE_LINE_ATTRIBUTE6)-4), SUBSTR(INTERFACE_LINE_ATTRIBUTE7,1,LENGTH(INTERFACE_LINE_ATTRIBUTE7)-4), LTRIM( TO_CHAR(

Chris, Thanks for your input ! One difference between our prod and QA instances is that the QA instance is relatively idle - while average load on the prod instance is about 175 users, with less than 5% hitting the database hard at any given point in time. I am unable to figue out why there is

Srini, I am sure you have lots of users in Prod compared to QA :) Anyway, the point is that you are suffering from hot block contention which reflects itself in latch waits on 'cache buffer chain'. I remember that Steve Adams has a SQL at his site that identifies blocks that are 'hot' - I have

John, Thanks for your input ! Unfortunately, this issue seems too weird ! (I know, I know, I shouldn't be saying that as a DBA !!). We have run that process three times today in prod in an effort to try and isolate the issue. We have run it when only one other user was hitting the prod database

Hi Srini, isolate the issue. We have run it when only one other user was hitting the prod database heavily using a select stmt on unrelated tables - but the problem still persists. There were no concurrent requests running at the time. The issue does not seem to be related to contention of
