What gets written to redo on a rollback?

2003-01-16 Thread Carle, William T (Bill), ALCAS
I recently had a situation where a process went down and Oracle had to roll back 
the transaction. The original transaction did around 60,000 inserts and/or updates. 
When Oracle did its rollback, it generated many redo logs in a short period of time, 
but there seems to be a wide variety of volume per redo log. I used Logminer to check 
what was written to these logs during the rollback. Some of them had 1500 - 2000 
records written to them and others had as few as 1 or 2 records written. These, for 
the most part, were the same types of records (for example, delete records to roll 
back the effects of an insert). Why the disparity? It seems like in many cases, a lot 
of redo log is wasted. The reason I am asking is that so many logs were generated, it 
filled up my archive log directory before my script could run to clean them out. 
Anybody have an explanation?

All...

I'm not even sure how to ask this question, but given three tables:

pocs

poc_id number primary key
sn varchar2(32)
poc_hrid   varchar2(16)
poctype_id number references poctypes(poctype_id)

poctypes

poctype_id  number primary key
tiernumber(2,0)
description varchar2(64)
pocgroup_id number references pocgroups(pocgroup_id)

pocgroups
-
pocgroup_id number primary key
description varchar2(16)

I'm attempting to construct a single query that will provide the
poc_hrid *AND* the pocgroup description to which that poc belongs.
This is part of a web-based application which allows for many
points-of-contact (e.g. SysAdmin, Apps, Network, etc.), but allows only
members of a particular group to modify certain sections of the record.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Subject:RE: Join vs. Subselect

Bill,
Without seeing the explain plans, I'll take a shot. I hope it makes
sense...
1 assumption, which if incorrect invalidates everything. I assume
that there is not an index on table2.objid.
I think the issue is how statement 1 is executed. Since the subquery
is not-correlated (IN instead of an equality condition), it is executed 1
time as a full table scan with the result set stored in memory (or disk if
not sufficient room). The intent of the subquery is to build a result set
that is compared in total to the output of the outer statement. Once the
table1.objid is located in the result set of table2.objid, the condition
evaluates to TRUE and no further reading of table2 result set is required.
It sounds like it is doing a nested loop operation against data that is
already in memory.
In statement2, for each row in table1, matching data in table2 is to
be retrieved, perhaps requiring multiple disk reads. In this case, it may be
more efficient to use the index. We now have an equality condition, which
probably results in a nested loop operation against a table and not a result
set in memory.
Hmm...clear as mud?
In deference to Cary, Anjo, Gaja, Kirti, Tim, et.al., Which query
runs faster and performs fewer LIOs? That's the true measure of which is the
better one.

Hi,

Here is the situation. The application coded a query that looks like
this:

select * from table1
where objid in (select objid from table2);

There is an index on objid in table 1 that isn't being used. An explain
shows it is using this system view vw_nso_1 that is used to transform an IN
subquery to a join. If you recode the query to:

select a.* from table1 a, table2 b
where a.objid = b.objid;

Then it will use the index. My question is: shouldn't it use the index
in both cases. I know the join is a better way to code it and I have told
the application that, but I would think that the first way would use an
index anyway. Ideas?

log_archive_max_processes

2002-11-12 Thread Carle, William T (Bill), ALCAS
With Oracle version 9.2, it appears that the value of the log_archive_max_processes is 
defaulting to 2. I don't specify it in my init.ora file, but 2 archive processes are 
being started, ARC0 and ARC1. The value of this parameter is set to 2. Is this a 
feature of 9.2 we don't know about? Any documentation I have seen says it is supposed

Can I index this query?

2002-10-15 Thread Carle, William T (Bill), ALCAS

Howdy,

I have a table that has almost 2 million rows called eventqueueentry. The layout 
looks like this:

Name  Null?Type
 -  
 EVENTID   NOT NULL NUMBER(10)
 VER   NOT NULL NUMBER(10)
 QUEUETYPE NOT NULL CHAR(16)
 PUBLISHER NOT NULL CHAR(16)
 CREATETIMENOT NULL DATE
 LASTREADTIME   DATE
 REMOVETIME DATE
 CONTENTS  NOT NULL VARCHAR2(4000)

The users do a query that looks like this:

SELECT  EventId, QueueType, Publisher, CreateTime, LastReadTime, RemoveTime,
  Contents, Ver
from
 EventQueueEntry  where QueueType = 'CodeUpdate' AND Contents LIKE
  '%TrackingEventId=27668677%' ORDER BY EventId

The queuetype field has only 3 different values. The value in the contents field is 
close to being unique (high cardinality) but, as you can see, they are picking off a 
value somewhere in the middle of a varchar2(4000) field. Understandably, their query 
is slow. Is there anything I can do with an index to speed this up?

RE: SQL Query tuning help

Dennis,

You're better off not having an index on the AM table. With 220,000 out of 250,000 
rows having the same value, an index will do you more harm than good. You're not much 
better off on the SO table with only 12 different values out of 1.3 million. The final 
table SA has 281 different out of 1.3 million. I see why the optimizer chose a table 
scan. It has to look through most of the table anyway. I would try it with an index of 
each of your join fields plus a separate index on the ret field of the SA table. I 
wouldn't even try to index any other fields on the AM or SO tables. Actually, 16 
second response time didn't sound too bad to me considering the tables you described.

Subject:SQL Query tuning help

I am trying to tune a SQL query on Oracle 8.1.6. I have tried several
optimizations, but
so far have made no improvements. I would appreciate any suggestions.

SELECT am.lid, am.name
FROM am, so, sa
WHERE so.lid = am.lid
AND so.key_ = sa.so_key
AND am.active = 1
AND so.code = 11
AND sa.ret = 'SB'
ORDER BY am.name

Tables:
   am - 250,000 rows, 220,000 rows have active = 1, the others are 0.
   so - 1.3 million rows, lid has 250,000 distinct values, key_ is unique,
 code has 12 values, evenly distributed.
   sa - 1.3 million rows, ret has 281 values, fairly evenly distributed.
so_key is pretty unique.

Now, you'll probably say there is essentially a 1-1 relationship between so
and sa. You are right, but the developer insists this flexibility is
essential.

The query executes in 16 seconds and returns 185 rows. This is felt to be
too slow for an online lookup screen.

explain plan results:

SELECT STATEMENT   Cost = 2955
  SORT ORDER BY
HASH JOIN
  HASH JOIN
TABLE ACCESS FULL SA
TABLE ACCESS FULL SO
  TABLE ACCESS FULL AM

Here is what I've tried so far:

Using hints to force Oracle to use indexes.

Query Plan


SELECT STATEMENT   Cost = 62031
  SORT AGGREGATE
NESTED LOOPS
  HASH JOIN
TABLE ACCESS BY INDEX ROWID SA
  INDEX FULL SCAN SO_KEY3
TABLE ACCESS BY INDEX ROWID SO
  INDEX RANGE SCAN PRG_CODE3
  TABLE ACCESS BY INDEX ROWID AM
INDEX UNIQUE SCAN LID6   

Timing result 25 minutes

Next I tried creating new indexes that combine both the accessing column as
well as the retrieved column, thinking that Oracle could get the result from
the index block and not need to retrieve the data block. 
  create index test1 on am (lid, active);
  create index test2 on sa (so_key, code);

SELECT STATEMENT   Cost = 2951
  SORT AGGREGATE
HASH JOIN
  HASH JOIN
INDEX FULL SCAN TEST2
TABLE ACCESS FULL SO
  TABLE ACCESS BY INDEX ROWID AM
INDEX RANGE SCAN TEST1
  
Hinting so Oracle will use the new indexes, for one table Oracle uses the
index only and for the other table, Oracle hits both the index and table
itself. Response time is slightly longer than the original query. At this
point I'm fresh out of ideas, so any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks.

Oracle Data Compression

2002-08-08 Thread Carle, William T (Bill), ALCAS

Howdy,

I attended a seminar on Oracle data compression in version 9.2 this morning. There 
are no web-based handouts to look at. However, there are a few items on it that may be 
of interest:

Data compression is based on duplicate fields
Compression is only done on direct operations ( for example, an ordinary insert is not 
compressed)
Indexed queries would not be any faster against compressed data (The index is not 
compressed, just the data.)
Updates are 10-20% slower.
Deletes are 10% faster.
Full table scans are much faster.

Bottom line is that this would mainly be used for a data warehousing application with 
lots of full table scans. It wouldn't be used for anything with lots of updating or 
online queries.

Also, we were told that 9.2 is the terminal release of 9i. The next version will be 
10i.

SQL Question

2002-05-31 Thread Carle, William T (Bill), ALCAS

Hi,

I have a table with 1 field and 2 dates: field1, date1, date2. I need to find the 
max value of date2 for all the field1, date1 combinations. Then I want to join the 
table to itself on field1 and find all the rows where field1 matches, date1 < date1, 
and max(date2) > max(date2). I did this in 2 queries. First I created a view as 
follows:

create view v1 (f1, d1, d2)
as select field1,date1,max(date2) from table1
group by field1,date1;

Then I joined the 2 views together like this:

select a.f1,a.d1,a.d2 from v1 a, v1 b
where a.f1 = b.f1
and a.d1 < b.d1
and a.d2 > b.d2;

This worked fine, but I was wondering if there was a way to do this in one query 
without having to create a view.

OCI and Oracle 9i - Install Question

2002-05-13 Thread Carle, William T (Bill), ALCAS

Hi,

One of my developers is trying to use OCI on our recently installed Oracle 9i 
instance. The size of the file 
libocijdbc9.sl is 142 kb in the 9i version and libocijdbc8.sl was 9 mb in the 8i 
version. How can I check to see that this was installed properly?
