RE: dbms_stats.gather_schema_stats

2003-06-12 Thread gmei
I have a nightly running script to execute DBMS_STATS.GATHER_TABLE_STATS on
all tables in a schema. The schema has about 250 tables. This program 2-3
hours to finish.

  Hi Gurus,
  I'm facing a weird problem. I'm running a 
  same query on windows as well as on Solaris both having Oracle 8.0.5 database 
  using CBO optimizer. The Query runs fine on Windows (takes 20-30 Secs) while 
  the same hangs on Solaris and takes 4-6 hrs to return the results. Both the 
  databases have approx same number of rows and indexes.
  The Query is :
  SELECT COUNT(*)    FROM 
  mam_assets a, mam_asset_attr_domain_values dmv65549    
  WHERE a."ID" = dmv65549.asset_id  AND a."ID" 
  IN (SELECT 
  dmv3.asset_id 
  FROM mam_asset_attr_domain_values 
  dmv3 
  WHERE dmv3.domain_value_id = 
  71   
  AND dmv3.asset_attribute_xid = 
  3   
  AND dmv3.domain_xid = 7)  AND a."ID" IN 
  (SELECT 
  dmv3.asset_id 
  FROM mam_asset_attr_domain_values 
  dmv3 
  WHERE dmv3.domain_value_id = 
  71

looked at the explain table in both situations:

2. 
I have not tried using "exists". I was wondering why IN had such problem (I 
have not seen this situation before)?

  Guang, 
  1. Just because you created an 
  index doesn't necessarily mean Oracle is using it especially if using CBO and 
  you haven't analyzed the table and index after the index creation. Try using a 
  hint.
  2. If IN isn't meeting your needs, 
  try converting it to an EXISTS statement.

Hi: 
Today I have something I don't 
fully understand. I have oracle 8173 on Sun Solaris. I have the following query that 
runs pretty fast when the number of elements in the "IN" list is small. But if I kept adding 
more "geneids" in the IN list, my query time increased dramatically. Now there is no 
index on any 
columns on the table. I got very similar results even if I created 
index on 
gene2disease2H.geneid. So this seem to suggest this situation has not 
to do with 
index. 
So my question is: why did I see 
the sigificant time increase when I only add one more geneid?

OT: Is there a simple perl utility or program similar to Oracle's dbms_profiler?

2003-06-04 Thread gmei
Hi:

I have a perl program which calls lots of subroutines, and plus it calls
sqls through DBI/DBD. I am wondering if there are some utilities or programs
similar to Oracle's dbms_profiler that I could use to identify parts that
are heavy-hitters?

TIA.

RE: would imp speed affect by setting indexes to NOLOGGING?

2003-05-29 Thread gmei
I have a question about index creation. When I run

create index xyz ... tablespace indx_ts ...

at what stage "sort_area_size" (and temp space if sort_area_size is not
large enough) is used during the process? Is my understanding correct that
the index will be created in  "indx_ts" (not temp tablespace). As long as we
have enough space in "indx_ts" we are fine. I thought sort_area_size and
temp space is used for sorting only.

-- Original Message:
In respone to someone's question about improving
exp/imp speed I had posted the following quite some
time ago. Most of it may help you.

- Kirti



9) After the import is completed, set sort_area_size,
sort_area_retained_size to a higher value (whatever is
adequate and
possible) to speed up index build process. Also,
consider TEMPORARY type
temp tablespace with properly configured initial and
next (multiples of
sort_area_size) extents. Make sure temp tablespace has
ample room, should
index build processes perform disk sorts. Also, make
sure quota is okay on
tablespaces for primary key constraint indexes.

RE: would imp speed affect by setting indexes to NOLOGGING?

2003-05-27 Thread gmei
Everything in the schema on Server B is dropped before import, so I have an
empty schema to begin with. I am not sure I understand what you meant by
"dropping the indexes before import"? Did you mean export/import indexes
separately? I guess I could do that. Right now I just try to keep the
program simple because the time is not an issue. I just want to know if
there is an "easy and simple" way to increase the imp speed without changing
the program too much.

would imp speed affect by setting indexes to NOLOGGING?

2003-05-27 Thread gmei
Hi,

Would the imp speed increase by setting all indexes to NOLOGGING?

I have a schema with 249 tables and 442 indexes and I have a weekly schema
refresh program running as this:

exp schema from Server A (Oracle 8173 on Sun Solaris box)
ftp dump file from Server A to Server B, the dump file size is 1.9GB after
compression
imp schema on Server B (also Oracle 8173 on Sun Solaris box), the imp
usually take about 7 hours.

With everything elase the same, last week I changed all indexes in the
schema on Server A to "NOLOGGING" (they were all set to "logging" before),
hoping to increase the speed of imp on Server B. Because I thought the
"create index ... nologging" would reduce redo log writing, therefore
increase the imp speed quite a bit (there are some big indexes there!). But
this morning I found the imp still took about the same time as before,
although I was told that the system I/O seems to be lower.

Does anyone have similar experience? TIA.

Guang

TermObs.OBSID  has FK constaint pointing to Observationlist.ID.
TermObs.OBSID is also indexed. Observationlist.ID is PK in the table. Both
tables have been analyzed (using compute statistics). I would expect the
query to use index on TermObs.OBSID. I tried to put hints in but they
resulted in much higher "cost" than the one without.

Any explaination why TermObs.OBSID's index is not used?

RE: Disable / enable constraints

2003-03-11 Thread gmei
SYS_ contraints are the ones that when you created them you did not give a
name. Oracle will automatically assign a name like 'SYS_1234567'.

You can drop tables in the schema before import. Import will automatically
create tables if it does not exist.

HTH.

You can do

1. Create a new temporary tablespace (say temp1)
2. Assign all user's TEMPORARY_TABLESPACE to temp1
3. Drop the old temporary tablespace, remove it's OS files.
4. Re-create the temporary tablespace using new OS file names
5. Re-Assign all user's TEMPORARY_TABLESPACE to this new temporary
tablespace
6. Drop temp1 and remove it's OS files

drop table vs truncate table -- performance

2003-03-10 Thread gmei
Hi:
Oracle 8173 on Sun Solaris 2.8.
I am running a program that creates and drops tables repeatedly in a schema.
The table dropping part looks like this:

drop table ypd.t1 cascade constraints;
drop table ypd.t2 cascade constraints;
drop table ypd.t3 cascade constraints;
drop table ypd.t4 cascade constraints;


I thought I might be able to use "truncate table ..." and then "drop table
..." to make this process a bit faster. However the tests I did today showed
otherwise:

SQL> select bytes from dba_segments where segment_name='SEQUENCE';

Tablspace ypd is LMT. Similar test on smaller table showed the same result
"drop table ..." is faster than "truncate table ...". Any explanation?
TIA.

RE: perl DBI question: fetchrow_array

2003-03-07 Thread gmei
I tried "fetch" (which is same as fetchrow_arrayref):

$dat->bind_columns(undef,\($row));
while($dat->fetch) {
print DATA "$row\n";
}

And it seems the performance improved a bit (about 5%). Using RowCacheSize
or not does not seem to matter. The size of the table can vary from 1 row to
1 million rows. So I won't use fetchall_arrayref.

Thanks for your help.

perl DBI question: fetchrow_array

2003-03-06 Thread gmei
I have some perl code which selects table data and write it into a file. I
have something like:

---
$dbh->{RowCacheSize} = 1;
open(DATA, ">$tn") || die "Can't open file\n";
$dat=$dbh->prepare("select id||chr(9)||FUNCTIONID||chr(9)||GENEID from
FUNCTION2GENE");
$dat->execute();
while(($row) = $dat->fetchrow_array) {
print DATA "$row\n";
}
close(DATA);
-

I am trying to see if there is any way to speed up the process.

So here is my question:

Is "fetchrow_array" the fatest way to get the data?

TIA.

RE: Purely for your amusement

2003-02-28 Thread gmei
Title: RE: Purely for your amusement



I 
think the reason that Microsoft does this is to keep the control of OS 
market in China. MS has a huge market share in China, almost exclusively. 
I read a report a while ago saying some local goverment (Beijing 
Minucipal?) is concerned about OS security (who knows if MS's OS does 
not send something about the machine back to US?), which is 
understandable. So they are trying to use Linux as an 
alternative. MS must have sensed this "threat", that's why they signed 
agreement with Chinese Ministry of Education not long ago to provide hardware 
and software to set up 30 centers to train university students, and now to 
privide code to the governemnt for review. It is just a business decision. 
I expect we will see more and more governments request MS to do 
so.

RE: Re: DBMS_STATS

2003-02-28 Thread gmei
We run DBMS_STATS.GATHER_TABLE_STATS nightly as cron job using this script
to spool the result to a temp file, then use sqlplus to run that file.

select  'execute DBMS_STATS.GATHER_TABLE_STATS('''||owner||''','''||
segment_name||''',cascade => TRUE);'
  from  ( select  owner,segment_name, sum(bytes) from  dba_segments s
 where  segment_type like 'TABLE%' and
owner in ('XYZ') and
s.partition_name is null
 group  by owner,segment_name
 order  by sum(s.bytes) desc);

We use multi-thread (3 threads) to run this script and it cuts the whole
time by half. Now it takes about 1.5 hours (our data set is small). For
another larger schema, we do this once a month.

select count(case ...) slow in PL/SQL, any better way?

The following code works in sqlplus, but not in PL/SQL:

 select count(case when geneid=geneid1 then 1 else null end ) into count1,
   count(case when geneid=geneid2 then 1 else null end ) into count2
  from isi.nametag ;

I have to use dynamic sql to get around this problem. But it's perofrmance
is horrible.

Question on "set autotrace on statistics"

2003-02-05 Thread gmei
Hi:

I am trying to understand why sqlplus did not display stats when I run
"analyze table ..." and "create index ..."?

TIA.

RE: why these tables can not be seen from user_segments?

2003-02-04 Thread gmei
No matter where I look, there is no segment correspnding to it. Anyway, here
is the user_table info (not sure if it helps).

SQL> select TABLE_NAME,IOT_TYPE
  2  from user_tables where table_name='DR$ABSTRACT_TEXT$K';

TABLE_NAME IOT_TYPE
-- 
DR$ABSTRACT_TEXT$K IOT

SQL> select * from dba_segments where segment_name ='DR$ABSTRACT_TEXT$K';

no rows selected

Hi, 

I found this out the hard way to: dba_tables, all_tables, and user_tables
also include views. Of course, views don't have segments.

The problem is that if LINE contains "$" (dollar sign), as some InterMedia
table names do, the piped command will fail.
