Title: RE: Record breaking query



I have 
seen the time for wait_events in 8.1 do funny things when the system date was 
changed by ntp.  Oracle assumes that end time is after start time for each 
wait event, if this is not the case due to the system clock being changed, you 
get a BIG number.
 
Every 
time this happened to us, our firewall (which is the ntp server for all of our 
other machines) had been rebooted and we saw an ntp event in the system log 
file.  However, we were never able to reproduce this 
manually.

RE: Hotsos Clinic 101 Feedback

2003-03-26 Thread Michael Brown
I've taken it twice (one of the first public classes and again the when they
started offering the reduced alumni rate), and stand by my quote on Hotsos's
website.

"If you have the time to take a class, take the Hotsos Clinic.  It was the
absolute best performance tuning resource that I have ever invested time
in."

Of course, I would change "tuning" to "optimization" since we are making
tuning a dirty word.

For those of you who were not at the Hotsos Symposium in Dallas, you missed
a fantastic conference.  You should make your plans to be in Las Vegas next
year.

I am not affiliated in any way with Hotsos, just am impressed by both the
knowledge Cary and Jeff have and their ability to convey it to others.

RE: Oracle Licences Req on Intel Xeon CPU

2003-03-26 Thread Michael Brown
2000 only shows 2 CPUs because it cannot take advantage hyperthreading.
>From what I have read (Intel's website, some others), hyperthreading
requires both BIOS and OS support to be utilized.  Currently, XP and the
newer Linux releases are all that I have seen that will take advantage of
it.

My research on this was fairly light since I was just after can Redhat
Advanced Server support it, but I do remember seeing that W2K would not.

Depending on the OS, Microsoft has different CPU counts.  The Windows
2000 family
counts each hyper thread as 1 CPU.  In contrast, Windows XP and Windows
2003 Server
count each CPU instead of each hyper thread.  Thus, the task manager in
Windows XP
Professional show 4 CPU's (on a dual XEON CPU computer with hyper threading
enabled) while Windows 2000 Professional only shows 2 CPU's in the task
manager.

Have Fun :)

RE: HIT RATIO

2002-11-19 Thread Michael Brown
What problem?  Seriously, the buffer cache hit ratio is a pretty meaningless
value (for details on why, see Cary Millsap's papers on www.hotsos.com).
Are your users complaining?  Are you seeing behavior on the system (disk
contention, etc.) that makes you expect that your users will be complaining
soon?
