RE: OBJ$ - PCTINCREASE 0

2001-02-15 Thread Steve Adams

Hi All,

That storage clause was adopted for 8.0 to reduce the risk of SYSTEM tablespace
fragmentation making OBJ$ unable to extend. Of course, somebody should have
changed it for 8.1 now that OBJ$ get littered with so much more stuff.

If you are going to rebuild this database and want to choose reasonable storage
parameter to put into 'sql.bsq', then the two scripts on this page will help
you: http://www.ixora.com.au/scripts/dd.htm

RE: OBJ$ - PCTINCREASE 0

2001-02-15 Thread Mark Leith

A little more info from the customer:

This was originally a 7.3.4 database which was MIGRATED to 8.1.6.  The
decision was taken to export/import the full database. Before this was done,
it was copied over to become the "Training" database.

The storage parameters for OBJ$ and its sibling in it cluster where set at
PCTINCREASE 50.  After the database was imported, the PCTINCREASE was set to
0.  Comparing training and live showed the difference.

Two things happened. Obviously the number of extents in OBJ$ (and siblings)
went up.  Secondly, they experienced a more than tripling of the time to
export and import from 14 hours to 46 hours, for an "unknown" reason, which
makes for a very long weekend.

The users have not commented on adverse performance now the application is
up, but the points that worry the site DBA are:

1.  Does having such a fragmented OBJ$ (etc) adversely affect performance?
2.  Even if another export/import is effected will it only do the same thing
again? (thanks Rachel for the response earlier on the sql.bsq file, but will
changing it survive any Oracle internals burning desire to do it its own
way?)

All help appreciated!

you can change the storage parameters.  I had heard from oracle support that
you could edit the storage parameters (but nothing else!) in the sql.bsq
file before creating the database... so if you can edit it there, it stands
to reason (okay, sits, I'm tired this morning) that you can change the
storage parameters once it has been created.

but... I would, of course, confirm this with Support :)

you can change the storage parameters.  I had heard from oracle support that 
you could edit the storage parameters (but nothing else!) in the sql.bsq 
file before creating the database... so if you can edit it there, it stands 
to reason (okay, sits, I'm tired this morning) that you can change the 
storage parameters once it has been created.

OBJ$ - PCTINCREASE 0

2001-02-15 Thread Mark Leith

Hi guys & gals,

Looking in to the system tablespace I have noticed that in 8.1.6, the SYSTEM
tablespace has a default PCTINCREASE of 50%, BUT OBJ$ has one specified of
0! Now, on 7.3.4 if "my" memory serves me right, this was also set to the
default of 50%.

My problem is that on a database running a number of apps this could, and is
at a customer site, leading to high fragmentation of the OBJ$ table. Does
anybody with an "inside knowledge" know why this has changed on 8i?

Is it a huge NO NO to chance the storage characteristics of this table also?
The customer has done a full database export/import form 7.3.4 > 8.1.6, and
has ended up with pretty bad fragmentation..

Any insight would be appreciated.

Mark
