To speed up the application, you have to know where the time is spent. Initial estimates can be made based on V$SESSION_WAIT and V$SESSION_EVENT for the application sessions, but to go really deep, you need a detailed performance analysis, based on timings and waits produced by the event 10046, level 8. Level 1 for that event is otherwise known as "SQL Trace". Oracle8 cannot analyze the output from the 10046, so you'll have to contact Cary Milsap (http://www.hotsos.com). You should also run BSTAT/ESTAT reports and see the report produced (sorry, no statspack for V8.0) as well as carefully monitor your OS.
-- Mladen Gogala Oracle DBA -----Original Message----- Burton, Laura Sent: Monday, August 25, 2003 4:49 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L We currently have an application we are trying to speed up. In researching rule/cost based optimizers, I read that the cost based optimizer was the way to go (although rule had its moments) because that is where Oracle would be focusing any upgrades, enhancements, etc. So I analyzed all tables and indexes. It brought our application to a stand still!! I then deleted the statistics and the application ran like before...slow. I know that I must have missed something although it seemed so straight forward. I verified that all tables were analyzed because I read that this would cause an extra step if all the tables were not analyzed. The database is Oracle 8.0.5. This weekend I will be upgrading to 8.1.7. The operating system is NT 4.0. Does anyone know something that could point me in the right direction? Thank you for your help.
