Re: Statspack Will Not Install Oracle 9.2.0.4
Ethan: You can remove the order by if you are not using RAC. Basically it is to avoid two identical SQLs inserted at the SAME time in RAC setup. If you are using RAC just add another column in the order by condition. (st1.hash_value,ss.text_subset,st1.piece) I don't have the bug # handy.

Re: Suggestions Needed: Latch free - library cache
Yong: I have not followed the thread completely. So I may be missing something obvious ;) Many applications (for example Oracle Applications) use public synonyms heavily and running with better (or acceptable) performance. We should not really worry about the milli second performance improvements comparing with the coding/application development flexibilities offered by public synonymns. If you look at Steve's test carefully, the improvement or over head in the public synonym to private synonym is around 10% of the CPU time and latch gets. How much performance improvement you can expect in practical systems with the additiona 10% of latch gets/CPU times comparing with the overall system performance. I would expect less than (LESS THAN) 1-2% in total response time. The actual over head is coming from the negative dependency tracking or high version count in the Library cache. But this will be an issue only when too many users are connected and accssing the database with too many accounts (different parsing user_id). But this is rarely a situation in many of the packaged application as most of the application connects to the database using a single account (like 'APPS' user in Oracle eBusiness suite) and no negative dependency or multi version of SQLs are an issue here (at least in a single instance oracle). The over head can be little higher in RAC environment as the Library Cache and Row cache is globally co-ordinated. However I have not really seen major problem (may be I have not observed them too keen) with the public synonyms as most of the packaged applications I have worked are using a single oracle account to connect to the database. It is just my personal observation, and may be Jonathan can have a different opinion.

Re: recreable/freeable chunks
Tanel: You are right. But the actual freeing process (from the re-creatable chunks) is quite different from what you have explained. The recreatable chunks (they are freeable, but can be re-creatable if required as you have explained) will be falling in two catagories. They are either pinned or un pinned. The unpinned list again has two separate lists (two LRU lists, one for transient and another one is for recurrent), and the freeing process starts from transient list. IF we don't get the required memory, then it is moved to the other list, i.e recurrent chunk LRU and the search ends when the required size is found. I think 8 chunks are freed in the previous list before it shifting to the recurrent list. If the process doesn't get the required free memory, it will try to allocate from hidden memory before signalling ORA-04031. --- Tanel Poder <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi! > > I wrote about recreatable chunk handling from memory and mixed up > chunk > freeing routines and chunk's data recreation routines: > A callback routine is used when a process wants to free a recreatable > chunk -> it can't reuse it just like that, because the original > allocator > (parent object) still has pointers pointing to this chunk, so the > same > object who allocated the chunk, has to do the freeing as well. > That's my understanding, it'd be interesting to know whether it's > correct ;) > > Tanel. > > > > Recreatable: > > This chunk is used, but its contents can be regenerated if needed > (such > are execution plans for cursors for example), thus Oracle can > automatically > reuse these chunks for others (of course when these chunks aren´t in > use, > thus unpinned).

Re: Hit Ratio
Yong:
I have not seen all the threads on this. So there are chances some body
might have
covered this/I may be missing some interesting things..But the issue is,
tuning or measuring the
database performance ONLY with Hit Ratios. By high hit ratios Damagement
will tend to understand , that percentage of data is read from the
cache/memory
and try to add memory till the get closer to 100..
I think what we need to understand is the interpretation of Hit ratio. 90%
HIT
ratio does not mean 90% of the data is read from the disk. It just tells a
block
or buffer which was read in to cache is RE-READ 9 times before it goes to
disk.
I have seen many sites with oversized buffer cache/shared pool targetting
100%
hit ratio and suffering huge latch contention. I have been to a site
recently where a FLUSH
shared pool took nearly 5 minutes and checkpoint took close to a minute,
with 99.99%CHR.
But simulating high wait times by yout tricks for a particular session may
bump the wait times
& You may probably generate high times for enqueue or any of the IO
events. But when you use 10046 or V$session_wait for a particular session,
the bumped numbers will not be affecting the diagnosability of your
problem.
But if you want to start questioning, you can question the timing details of
the
wait events. Oracle uses gettimeofday () to get the time of the wait events
and
if you alter the system time couple of times, that may give some odd numbers
to the entire timing data. But the bottomline is , Hit ratios are
beautiful numbers
but, you can not relate the pattern to the performance. May be you can
compare
the hit ratio when the system is good/bad and figure out there is a change
in IO
pattern between those interval.. IMHO and YMMV.

K Gopalakrishnan

Yes Jonathan: I think that 400 byte concept came from one of the TPC benchmarks during Oracle 7 (or ORacle 6) days where the average undo size for a transcation was around 380+ bytes.

Now I'm really confused!! -Original Message- Tim Gorman Sent: 18 November 2003 13:34 To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Barry, Why make life difficult? It's just a role, not a data object referenced by applications (hopefully). Change it's name to something that is not a "reserved word" and move on.

Re: What is a local write wait?
Rajesh: Typically DBWR has to free up some buffers when you want to read something from the disk. During this process there are chances that you will be waiting for your local buffer (i.e blocks dirtied/invalidated by your session) to be written to disk. During this time the waits are shown as local write waits. BTW do you have any other write waits or just seeing local waits? And also are you noticing any timeouts for this waits? Typically we wait for local wait up to one second and spin (or retry) again.. Timeouts for local write indicates a serious problem unless you have tiny buffer cache or extremely slow disk' KG - Original Message - To: "Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, November 01, 2003 12:54 PM > Was creating an index with a degree of 4, and in unrecoverable manner? > There were few waits for an event called "local write wait".

Re: using temp tables for staging databases?
Hi, The walking in the freelist is just 5 blocks (or the value of _walk_insert_threshold number of blocks) and I belive tanel is talking about (_release_insert_threshold) unlinking from freelist, which also default to 5 blocks. KG - Original Message - From: Binley Lim To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Sent: Monday, October 27, 2003 4:59 PM Subject: Re: using temp tables for staging databases? What you have described is expected behaviour - if "the next insert would drop amount of free space less than PCTFREE", the block is unlinked. What I had not considered is what happens when the block is still below PCTUSED? As usual, Steve Adams' website explains this very nicely - it is not unlinked, just walked over, so the next smaller insert is likely to succeed. And as you pointed out, It would indeed take rows that are a large proportion of blocksize for this effect to have an impact. - Original Message - From: Tanel Poder To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Sent: Saturday, October 25, 2003 10:09 PM Subject: Re: using temp tables for staging databases? No, blocks won't fill up to PCTFREE in case a block is already above PCTUSED and the next insert would drop amount of free space less than PCTFREE. Blocks are just unlinked from freelist in this case. That means if you normally have 10byte inserts and occasionally have 4000 byte inserts in your table, then you might be wasting space due to premature unlink of blocks in freelist.

Re: state objects
Wishing you all a very Happy Diwali.. The festival of lights ! State object is a structure inside the shared pool which keeps the details about every components (for example, process or session or enqueues) and their status (or state). Basically it is an operating system resource related to the oracle instance (or an OS resource held by oracle instance) which has multiple states (free/init and dead I think). The background process PMON is responsible for freeing those resources to the OS should any of the state object dies because of the process failure. Typically the SYSTEMSTATE dump will have the details about the state objects. Part of this info is visible in the V$sysstat. You will see the state object as SO in the system state dump. Along with you get the owner (holding that SO) and the state of the state object (is that too confusing?) which tells whether that SO is in the freelist or initialized or dead. For better understanding of the various state objects I would recommend to take a systemstate/process state dump and have a look at the trace files.

Re: 10046 trace question
Title: 10046 trace question Raj: THe simple option is to run the ALTER SESSION command to set some session level parameter like 1=1 and get the timings. Giving the EXECUTE on DBMS_SYSTEM is not a good idea. KG - Original Message - From: Jamadagni, Rajendra To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Sent: Wednesday, October 22, 2003 10:09 PM Subject: 10046 trace question Hi all, I am monitoring a production database and while we have performance issues looked at, I have 10046^8 running on all user session in this RAC db. The scenario is as follows ... user logs in through a windows terminal server, opens multiple sessions (oracle forms) to connect to database. Whenever they see a performance issue (AKA slowness) they hit a button on their windows session, that sends an email to us informing that user experienced slowness at say 10am. Now normally because users don't exit their session till COB, the trace files are still incomplete at the time when user reported slowness. While these trace files are useful to look at next day, there is no way (that I know of) to go into the trace file and answer questions like "what was this user doing around 10am" ... is there? Also is there an easy way to put a marker in the trace file (something like dbms_system.ksdddt) that can be invoked preferable triggered from a script ... and then we can go back to trace file and find out what the session was doing by looking at trace lines around the marker? I don't know if anyone has done this before, or I am really trying to offset the US debt by collecting pennies? Any help in this regard is greatly appreciated.

RE: Cache a table
Mike: I guess we are aware there is no concept of LRU or MRU in current versions of Oracle and I don't think CACHE option will influence the behavior. With the new algorithm the MFU blocks are already in the hot end (unless they are read using CR read in that case they will be in cold end since we set the _db_aging_freeze_cr to TRUE) and we don't need to cache the blocks explicitely. You can monitor the behavior of this using the X$BH (espicially the last two columns TCH and TIM). = Have a nice day !!

Re: Steps to convert a RAC to a single instance.
Murali: Other than init parameter changes, you need to turn the RAC components off from the oracle binaries. Otherwise RAC will be still running in the oracle irrespective of init parameter. TO Disable RAC.. follow these steps; 1. Shutdown ALL instances on that oracle home 2. Go to $OH/rdbms/lib 3. Use the make command to relink the oracle binaries without RAC Components.. i.e. make -f ins_rdbms.mk rac_off 4. Relink the binaries i.e make -f ins_rdbms.mk ioracle. Thats all !!!

RE: How to extract data directly from a datafile ?
Richard: Not sure whether somebody else also tried this. Sometime back we (yours turley and few others ) tried developing a tool to convert a datafile from one OS format to another OS Format (little endian->big endian or Solaris to NT etc) by reading the datablocks from one format and writing to another format. The original plan was to have a iDUL kind of tool with a fileconverter to covert oracle datafiles from one OS to another OS. So the user will have a choice to download the data from data files or convert from one os to another OS. Since oracle started addressing this facility/feature in the current (for future?) versions we have dropped that idea as we don't want to compete with Oracle :D I would be interested in knwoing abt your tool too ..

Re: latch free wait event
Hi, You can query the v$session_wait (or event 10046 if you are a big fan of 10046) to get the latch#. If I Remeber right the P2 value in the session wait (or p3?) gives the latch number and you can join this with v$latch_name to get the name of the latch. Once you find out the waiting (or spinning) latch you can get an easy fix based on the latch.

Re: RAC - lms process
Robert: It is normal behavior only. But you didn't say about the OS and Cluster Software. Make sure you use the highspeed private interconnect for the block transfer between instances. I have seen in many sites public interconnect has used for cache transfer. Other than that, you may want to try bindling lms process to the specific processor if your OS supports that. And also increasing the priority also helps.

Not necessarily. You can run RAC in a single machine also. I have few

Installing and Configuring RAC is as simple as you install Oracle
databases. But the scalability is limited to just 4 nodes in Windows. I
think this limitation is coming from Windows Clusters and NOT from
Oracle. And also for Windows, you can use the OCFS (Oracle Cluster File
System) and no need to create the RAW partitions. ( I think now a days
all platforms have their own CFS (for Linux and windoze oracle gives
the CFS) and no need to use RAW partitions for OPS/RAC).

The nice thing is , yes you can add new nodes dynamically (depends on
the OS) and the number of nodes is limited by the OS. For example, in
Windoze and Solaris you can only have max 4 nodes. HP-UX, AIX and Linux
clusters supports up to 8 nodes. IBM-SP clusters supports upto 128
nodes and again, as I have said earlier all these limitations come from
the respective OS/Hardware vendors. From Oracle side , there is no
limit for the number of nodes in RAC clusters.

I think the mandatory RAW partition requirement only comes with AIX (or

So I was not the only one in this earth who caught in that trap.. Nice
to know somebody else also caught in that. We had implemeted RAC on
W2k Advanced Server some time back .. TAF (Select failover) will not
work in W2k and make sure TAF is not the MANDATORY requirement.
Preconnect is an alternate if your customer agrees for that.

Re: Migrating 8i OPS to RAC 9.2
Mladen: I am not aware any of the documentations which explains this cache fusion to ping pong feature(!). There are 3 components in the typical CR prosessing.. Let us assume there is a resource R which is mastered by the instance A and owned by the instance B on X mode. And also we assume the resource R is requested by Instance C. In this case the requester enquires the status of that resource to the master database and got to know that is owned by instance B. So now it is Instance B's respoisibility to constuct the CR and send it to Instnace C. Here, there is something called light work rule (X$KCLCRST.LIGHT?) which decides the CR construction and block transfer over interconnect (again the CR processing for S to N locks are different based on the setting of _cr_grant_local parameter) or thru the disk transfer. Basically the current holder of the resource maintains a fairness counter, which is incremented every time it sends CR copy over the interconnect to the requester and there is a threshold for the number of CR copies created for that resource. Once the ceiling is hit, instead of creating the CR copies, the LMD simply downconverts the lock to NULL and informs the convertion to Intance A. In simple terms it is like a normal OPS ping. The owner downgrades the lock and the requester reads from the disk after getting approval from the lock master. The threshold is controlled by the parameter _fairness_threshold and IIRC that defaults to 4 or 5. So every 6th (or 5th) CR request will most of the times results in a PING and I have seen good performance improvements in most of the RAC databases by changing this parameter.

Re: Migrating 8i OPS to RAC 9.2
Hi Vivek, In terms of technical, there is not much difference in normal database upgrade from 8i to 9i and OPS to RAC upgrade. You just need to install the 9i RAC software in the cluster and upgrade the database. But on the other side, Oracle does not see the OPS to RAC transformation as a MIGRATION or UPGRADE. They treat them as two different software components and you need to have a separate licence for RAC, that means you can not upgrade your OPS licence to RAC licence. Other than the installation/upgrade issues, RAC tuning requires deeper understandings of the cache fusion and the GCS,GES internals. For example, the cache fusion will not happen after certain number of lock converts/downgrade-upgrades and it will use DISK to tranfer the blocks between instances. Based on the nautre of the database and the workload, you may want to incrase or decrease the number of times a block can be trasfered over the wire and decide after X number of wire transfers, you can force the disk transfer. But you can still use the GC_FILES_TO_LOCKS parameters in the RAC instances if you know your application very well and I have seen the GC parameters in some of the Oracle TPC benchmarks. And the other interesting thing in RAC is the CR copies are created by the owner, not the requester. But in OPS the CR copy will be created by the requester and the owner has no responsibility other than just downgrading the locks (X to NULL). Like this there are so many small small things are changed in RAC comparing with OPS and some of the basic OPS concepts are no longer valid in RAC (and RAC Tuning). Good luck for your RAC Migration and do let us know if you have faced any of the complexities in the upgrade/migration/or whatever.. = Have a nice day !!

RE: Some rollback doubts
Rajesh: I am not sure which document you are referring here. If that documentation says more than one transaction can not use a rollback segment data block means, I would say the documentation is incorrect in this case. But this can not happen concurrently. IT can happen serially. Each rollback segment's header will have something called free extent pool, which will link at least 5 undo segment blocks which have more than 400 bytes of free space. These blocks will be used to store undo information for the subsequent transactions. This 'free extent pool' will be clearly visible in the segment header dumps. You can dump the rollback segment header by using the alter system dump undo header 'undo_segment_name' command. However this free extent pool just keep 5 undo blocks with free space. I hope this answers both of your questions..

RE: RAC, fail over and timeout .. Big Question
Title: RAC, fail over and timeout .. Big Question Raj: I am afraid, there are not much alternatives you can think of.

Big Question Hi all, here is a (hopefully) tricky one ... We have a two node RAC (9202), two applications run on either side, no problems there. We have a business critical process that runs all the time on node T2. This process needs to have a set response time or it affects business. And it is written in VB. Currently we have already handled the situations when a node is down (or machine is down) it fails over to the other side and continues. What we need to cater for is when DB is up, but sick (i.e. not responding). We need to be able to specify a timeout in the queries and when we get no response in the specified time, we need to automatically fail over to the other side. The queries in the application are optimally written, they are sub-second or single digit second queries. So, a query taking a long time would be about 10-15 seconds. While we are fishing for ideas, has anyone implemented anything like this? Any ideas?

RE: selectivity of predicates with LIKE - diff between 8i and 9i
By any chance are you using CURSOR_SHARING parameter in your 8i version? I think the default selectivity of 5% is used while costing the like operator and with the binds (and with an underscore parameter which I think defaults TRUE) it is treated as equality . If not you can set the underscore parameter _like_with_bind_as_equality to get the index costing.

Re: HP-Sun Cross Platform Migration - Exp/Imp, CTAS over dblink or ..
Sashidar: In THEORY HP datafiles and Sun data files are compaible. That is you can just move the HP data files to the Sun server and recreate the data files. Both data files are in same endianness and they are cross platform compatible. There is no tool to convert a datafile from one OS format to another OS format. Some time back, some one (Guess who??) tried developing a tool and the idea was dropped since Oracle started addressing this issue as a standard feature inside the RDBMS product. So there is no third party tool available in the market to do that conversion and I don't expect any new tools to do that. Having said that, that above said method is NOT officially supported by Oracle in current versions. You have to wait for some more time to get that officially supported by Oracle (clue!!) If you have a faster interconnect CTAS will be much faster than export import method, I remember seeing some comparitive numbers in Metalink.. Have you checked that? = Have a nice day !!

RE: RMAN Catalog: 1 vs. many - Opinions
Gaja: Having dedicated RMAN server is indeed a good idea, but RMAN catalog is not designed for that much (!!?) high concurrency. If you look at the commands (executed by the RMAN during backup) very closely, you will see lots of SELECT for UPDATE and this will cause a big bottleneck in the backup process. It happened at one of our client place where they backup 200+ databases with a single RMAN catalog at 2-3 hrs interval. The workaround suggested was a) Have more RMAN Catalogs b) Run the backup in different times. So again it 'all depends ' Best Regards, K Gopalakrishnan -Original Message- Krishna Vaidyanatha Sent: Friday, April 04, 2003 4:04 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Paul et al., I agree with Paul's setup of a dedicated RMAN catalog server. It is not a bad idea to have the datafiles for this database on mirrored volumes. I also think a good practice related to "saving the catalog" against tape media errors is to do a full export on the RMAN Catalog DB and stash the export dumpfile away on a mirrored volume away from the datafiles. If this DB has nothing but the RMAN catalog, it should not be very large (let me know if this is otherwise) and thus the full export will be a good method to have a "logical backup". One more thing to save the skin on your back, at a time of need. When Murphy is around I think the word "mercy" vanishes from the English dictionary.

RE: max_commit_propagation_delay
Rajesh: Basically the parameter controls the method used for SCN propagation. THere are many ways of propagating SCNs in OPS/RAC. If you set that to default one 'lamport' scheme is used. Otherwise the 'broadcast on commit' method is used. I am not sure why Oracle support asked you to leave that to default.. I am sending one of my draft note offline. I guess that will help you in understanding the internals of SCN.

We have this currently set to 0, and Oracle has recommended that we leave it at the default of 700, while making a general recommendation to improve the performance of this database. But from what I have gathered so far from Metalink, this would not suit us, since, transactions would immediately need to see the data on the other node. Is my assumption correct?

RE: log buffer space
Jonathan: I have just sent a mail which has the test statistics. I would appreciate your comments on that.. Alternatively, people who are curious may want to test the log writer writing habits using the event 10046^8. KG Best Regards, K Gopalakrishnan -Original Message- Lewis Sent: Monday, March 17, 2003 7:14 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L I've just tried a different test, along the following lines, which seems to confirm that LGWR is triggered when the buffer is about 1/3 full. Set log_buffer to an easy number such as 600K. Create table with one column of a nice large size, e.g. varchar2(1000); Take snapshot of redo size, redo writes, redo wastage figures from v$sysstat. Insert N rows into table. Taks snapshot and find changes. Vary the number of rows inserted until M rows does not result in a redo write M+1 rows results in a redo write. Check the redo size for M and M+1 rows. Under both 8.1.7.4 and 9.2.0.2, I found that log writer seemed to be consistently triggered at a couple of KB below 1/3 of the log_buffer. (One oddity that caused me a little hassle with 9.2 at first was that I set the log buffer to 512K, but the actual log buffer size (per v$sga) was actually closer to 640K, so the trigger occurred at 212K when I was expecting it to be 170K.

RE: log buffer space
Arup: Sorry for the delay ;-) I have not seen this is documented anywhere, other than 'Oracle Performance Tuning' OReilly Peter & Mark Gurry (page 304) where he claims the log writer writes when it is 2/3 full... Here is the Original Text. Log Buffer The log buffer contains the information showing the changes that have been made to database buffer blocks. When the log buffer reaches one-third full (two-thirds full in Oracle 7.3), a user performs a commit, or a write takes place to the database,.. I don't have any Oracle 7.3 database, (for that matter no database now as I composing this in Zurich Airport waiting for a connecting flight to Bombay..), So I may not be able to test that. But last time I verified was on an Oracle 8.1 database where the log file writes used to be in the order up to 2/3 full. You can do a simple test to prove this point. You can use oradebug to trace the log writer process and do a CTAS of any big table (with a big log buffer) and you will be able to see the writes and number of blocks written in a single write.

Re: 9iR2 Oracle SGA Memory
Robert: There is no single LRU (if you want to call LRU lists) in Oracle9i. There are 7-8 replacement lists in 9i and they are like LRU, LRUW, CKPT Q lists (like thread checkpoint, file checkpoint and recovery checkpoint lists), LRU list for OPS/RAC ping blocks, and some other lists. And also each list will internally have 2 lists (MAIX and AUX). THe dirty, replaceable buffers will be linked to the AUX lists and DBWR will start writing from the AUX lists when the MAIN lists are in normal operation. With these numerours lists there are some priorities assigned to each of the lists during writes and buffers from LRU Ping lists will have the highest write priority and normal aging buffers will have the lowest priority. So coming back to your original question, The LRU list is still there, but at a little bit more detailed level.

Re: corrupted block
Hi, If you can afford to forget the data in the corrupted block you can use the event 10231 to skip the corrupted block during table scan. Set the event and you can do a CTAS with a new table name and then you can rename that as original table after dropping the original table. Here is the syntax: alter session set events '10231 trace name context forever, level 10' If you want to see the contents of that skipped blocks, you can use the event 10232 which dumps the contents of that blocks to the trace files. And if you are comfortable in reading block dumps, you can write a simple INSERT statement to put those rows in to the new table. KG = Have a nice day !!

RE: Automatic Segment Space Management
Kirti: There are some (or more) errors in my previous post. The process can not find the partly filled/free blocks until it scans the L1 bitmaps (I said L2 bitmap in the previous post as I was in half-sleep while composting the message) and the L2 bitmaps just point the scanning process to the respective L1 bitmaps. And the other overhead in ASSM is, there are chances you will waste around 1-5% (depending on the block size,etc) blocks for just keeping the meta data and this could be a overhead along with the space waster in between the Low HWN and high HWM.

RE: Automatic Segment Space Management
Kirti: I have not complely following this thread. But I am sure it is worth mentioning even if someone already mentioned also. In ASSM there would be two highwatermarks called low high water mark and high high water mark. The high high water mark is the actual high water mark (like in the Freelist Managed Segments) and the low high water mark is the new one which is introduced in ASSM. i.e till low HWM all blocks are completely used and from LHWM to HWHM there could be some blocks unused. During sequential scan it has to read till HHWM (i.e it should scan empty block also). But I think by scanning the L2 bitmaps the process can find the unused blocks and skip that during sequential scanning, though I have not tested it thoroughly.

Dear friends,
I traced one of our test cases and found something weird.
Did anybody else observe this?
Env:
server - 9.0.1.4, Solaris.
client - weblogic 7, uses original oracle thin 9.0.1 jdbc driver to connect.
In fact, I can reproduce all this from SQLPlus
Here is an excerpt from tkprof below - why every parse is a hard parse?
Looks like the problem doesn't appear when 10046 is not set, and it appers
ONLY on pl/sql blocks returning data to client, normal selects OK. Looks
like bug again. Any workaround?
And what are these "Misses in library cache during execute"?
9.2.0.2 on Linux works fine, i.e. no misses once it has been parsed.

RE: How to dump UGA ??
Jonathan: How about calling the DBMS_SYSTEM.READ_EV procedure? I think this is simpler than going to the UGA dumps.. THe restriction with DBMS_SYSTEM is, you can not get the event settings of the other sessions. But Dumps can. Best Regards, K Gopalakrishnan -Original Message- Lewis Sent: Wednesday, February 05, 2003 10:10 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L If you want to see if tracing is on: alter session set events 'immediate trace name events level 1'; (level 2 for process level events, level 4 for system). You can obviously use the oradebug equivalent, or the dbms_support package to fire this at another session. However - if you can read the session's trace file to find out the result of this command, then you will be able to see from the content of the trace file that it is (or isn't) tracing anyway.

RE: Global Stats
Kirti: I think the interval is changed to 5 minutes from 3 hours starting from 9i (rel2?). Best Regards, K Gopalakrishnan -Original Message- Kirti Sent: Wednesday, January 29, 2003 8:19 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Lisa, Monitoring, by itself, does not fire any automatic analyze. It simply montiors the DML activity on the monitored table and counts inserts/deletes/upates. Those counts may not be 100% accurate, but are very close. These can be viewed in dba_tab_modifications, and are dumped there by SMON every 3 hours or so (in 9i there is a new procedure, flush_database_monitoring_info, to flush these counts to this view on demand). These counts do not affect the ones maintained in *_tables views. Monitoring is basically there to help identify which tables may need statistics computed again. 'Gather stale' option will only analyze tables that have undergone DML activity (inserts/deletes/updates) that amounts to more than 10% of the number of rows (from previous analyze) in the table. And 'gather auto' option 'figures' out what tables to analyze, but you must execute dbms_stats. So, there is nothing automatic in gathering table stats. You can test it yourself. remember there is a last_analyzed column ;) HTH, - Kirti -Original Message- From: Koivu, Lisa [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wed 1/29/2003 9:09 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Cc: Subject:RE: Global Stats Hi Jared, Actually I think monitoring won't work in my case.

I have my own law on ora-600s: If you supply all the required information (tracefiles, alertlogs, repro-case, etc.) chances are Support is not gonna need them. If you miss out just one of those things, chances are Support will tell you they cannot proceed without that vital piece of information.

Re: ORA-00600: [2662]
Other than the allow_resetlogs_corruption, _disable_logging also will greet you with OERI-2662 if the shutdown is not normal.

Re: ORA-00600: [2662]
Sinardy: Have you force opened the database? (_allow_resetlogs_corruption). In this case the SCN Mismatch (block SCN vs Currnet SCN) is causing the OERI-2662, and you need to bump the SCNS globally to get the database up. Speak to Oracle Support and ask for the details to bump the SCN, then you can open the database. You need to rebuild the database after force opening.

Re: Physical reads
Pradeep: It is NOT number of read request to the I/O sub-system. It is number of blocks read from the disk. Note that the physical read is not necessarily a physical read. There are chances the block could be from Memory (file system buffer cache). This happens when you have quick IO and/or a large file system buffer cache. So, in general 'physical reads' are the number of blcoks read in to the buffer cache from the disk !! --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > Hi All in list, > > I have taken the report.txt using utlbstat and utlestat.

RE: Cache on sysdate? --From 9i performance planning manual
Raj: SQL trace or the event 10046 is NOT the right to trace the PL/SQL executions. You need to either use the dbms package dbms_trace or event 10938 to populate the SYS table PLSQL_TRACE_EVENTs and select from that table. SQL_TRACE is just SQL Trace. NOT PL/SQL Trace..
