The added predicate for this is is using context as seen in the trace
file. This can be generated by setting event 10730

Logon user : SECUSER1

That was my point, that using the context variable in the predicate
clause will cause it to act like a bimnd variable and that is behaviour
that I have been seeing

I don't think this is the issue at all.  The SQL in the function
that generates the predicate WILL use bind variables and that
is perfectly expected.  That's why you don't see an increase in parses
on the SQL INSIDE the function.

What will not use bind variables is this bit:

> SQL> select count(*) from dpr70_gl_acct_balance_f;

because the added predicate is a string without bind syntax.

However, I think if the added predicate string contains a reference
to a context variable, which is what Tom is talking about, it might 
well be the case this will act as a kind of bind variable
even though the syntax is not the correct one. Anyone found if that
is the case?

Raj,


Thanks.  A mention of which FM would've saved me some searching, but I

I'll have to do more investigation, since those paragraphs don't clearly

mean that predicates with Context Variables included as bind variables will
not be reparsed if their Policy Function was created with
Static_Policy=True, and yet different sessions can reuse the parsed SQL

Also, any idea where init parameters such as _dynamic_rls_policies and

any of the 9.2 docs that I've got, except for the brief mention they get in
the above-mentioned section of the Developer's Guide.

Jack,



This is from TFM ...




Starting from 9i, queries against Fine Grained Access enabled objects
always execute the policy function to make sure most up to date predicate
is used for each policy. For example, in case of the time based policy
function, in which queries are only allowed between 8am-5pm, an execute of
a cursor that is parsed at noon would result in an execution of the policy
function at the execution time to make sure policy function is consulted
again for the query.



There are only two exceptions to this rule. One is to specify
STATIC_POLICY=TRUE when adding the policy to indicate that the policy
function always returns the same predicate. Another one is for users whose
security policies do not return different predicate within a database
session, the init.ora parameter _dynamic_rls_policies can be set to FALSE
to reduce the execution overhead.

RE: Row level security and latch waits - LONG email...

2003-08-20 Thread Madhavan Amruthur
Hi,
With the way we have implemented FGAC, we do not have any parses
occurring with application context.
The application context does act like bind variables and I will try to
illustrate that with an example.

We set the context of the users logging in to a particular group/role
which gets executed from a logon trigger

POLICY_NAMEFUNCTION
-- --
DPR70_CURRENCY_D_PLCY  DP_PREDICATE_FUNCTION

The above is the function defined on the object

Login as a user 

SQL> select sys_context('dp_comp_group_id_ctx','comp_group_id')
  2  from dual;

SYS_CONTEXT('DP_COMP_GROUP_ID_CTX','COMP_GROUP_ID')

1012

SQL> select count(sql_text) from v$sql where sql_text like '%sys_cont%';

COUNT(SQL_TEXT)
---
 12

In v$sql
this is the sql that generates the predicate clause vis the function
SELECT text   from dp_security_text   where object_name = :b1
  and comp_group_id = sys_context('dp_comp_group_id_ctx','comp_group_id')
SELECT sys_context(:b2,:b1) from sys.dual

Notice how the context gets converted into bind variables

Also notice the parse_calls and executions

6   16  SELECT text   from dp_security_text   where
object_name = :b1   and comp_group_id =
sys_context('dp_comp_group_id_ctx','comp_group_id')


Now lets login as a different user

SQL> select sys_context('dp_comp_group_id_ctx','comp_group_id')
  2  from dual;

SYS_CONTEXT('DP_COMP_GROUP_ID_CTX','COMP_GROUP_ID')

1011

 1* select count(*) from v$sql where sql_Text like '%sys_cont%'
SQL> /

  COUNT(*)
--
12

There is a parse because the user_id is different

7   18  SELECT text   from dp_security_text   where
object_name = :b1   and comp_group_id =
sys_context('dp_comp_group_id_ctx','comp_group_id')

No lets execute queries as this user


SQL> select count(*) from dpr70_currency_d;

  COUNT(*)
--
 3


from V$sql

SQL_TEXT

PARSE_CALLS EXECUTIONS FIRST_LOAD_TIME  LOADS LAST_LOAD_TIME
--- -- --- -- ---
SELECT text   from dp_security_text   where object_name = :b1
  and
comp_group_id = sys_context('dp_comp_group_id_ctx','comp_group_id')
  7 20 2003-08-20/09:29:34  2 2003-08-20/10:39:44

Notice parse_calls does not change

lets execute another query
SQL> select count(*) from dpr70_gl_acct_balance_f;

  COUNT(*)
--
  2974


from v$SQL

SQL_TEXT

PARSE_CALLS EXECUTIONS FIRST_LOAD_TIME  LOADS LAST_LOAD_TIME
--- -- --- -- ---
SELECT text   from dp_security_text   where object_name = :b1
  and
comp_group_id = sys_context('dp_comp_group_id_ctx','comp_group_id')
  7 24 2003-08-20/09:29:34  2 2003-08-20/10:39:44

Notice again parse_calls does not change

The above SQL is the predicate clause being generated every time

Hope this helps.

Also from Tom Kyte

/QUOTE

Sys_context is treated like a bind variable in a query -- its value is
BOUND in 
just like any other value would be.  

it  rewrites the query which is then sent to the optimizer rewrote the
SYS_CONTEXT calls as bind variables.

what this means is in 9i, the policy function will be executed every time
a query is issued against the object. 
But if the predicate being is generated is the same everytime then the
policy can be generated with static_policy=true 
and if needs to be refreshed, then dbms_policy.refresh needs to be used.

If the predicate generated is different in different database sessions
but they are the same within a session, then 
_dynamic_rls_policies=FALSE will prevent it being executed within the
session.


Hope this helps.

Sorry for the long winding email

I got the 9.2 docs and this is in the Concepts manual:


"Dynamic Predicates



The function or package that implements the security policy you create
returns a predicate (a WHERE condition). This predicate controls access as
set out by the policy. Rewritten queries are fully optimized and shareable.
"


"Fully optimized and shareable" sure sounds like the queries are parsed
after the predicate is added.



I couldn't find any init parameter similar to what you mentioned.



Does anyone have a concrete reference regarding parsing of FGAC-modified
queries?



Thanks.

My understanding was that the rls predicate was added
at parse time (hence the importance of the contexts
and  avoiding things like 'sysdate')


But also if I remember correctly, this behaviour was
changed in v9 to process the security function with
each execution (and hence probably increase the amount
of parsing going on).


You might want to have a play the the
"_dynamic_policies" parameter (or something like that)
which can be used to revert the 8i behaviour (which
should reduce parsing to a degree)

Re: Row level security and latch waits

2003-08-20 Thread JApplewhite

I got the 9.2 docs and this is in the Concepts manual:

"Dynamic Predicates


The function or package that implements the security policy you create
returns a predicate (a WHERE condition). This predicate controls access as
set out by the policy. Rewritten queries are fully optimized and shareable.
"

"Fully optimized and shareable" sure sounds like the queries are parsed
after the predicate is added.


I couldn't find any init parameter similar to what you mentioned.


Does anyone have a concrete reference regarding parsing of FGAC-modified
queries?


Thanks.

None of that implies it's not appending a where clause like it 
was explained.

It uses the context values (if that's the case) in a function
which then returns a string.  That string is then appended
as a predicate to the original statement.  That means the 
original statement is then re-parsed.  It's the reason why
you need query-rewrite enabled in FGAC.
So, you get a lot of parsing.

I don't know of any way of passing a context value
as a true bind variable in a return string which is appended
as a predicate.  It certainly is not explained anywhere
in the manual how to do it and I couldn't find anything
in the literature and asktom either. 

Appreciate if anyone can explain how.

A dynamically generated string is not the same as a 
bind variable.

RE: Re: Row level security and latch waits

2003-08-19 Thread Madhavan Amruthur
Hi Raj,
Vadim is right and if RLS is implemented without application context then
there would be hard parses especially if there are literals in the policy
function . We have a client warehouse with about 500 users and 300 tables
and FGAC has been working very well and we do not see latch waits.

The policy function has to be devoid of literals as vadim indicated. We
ste up the policy function based on the application context and in order
to look at the where clause generated, an evetn can be set.

Hope this helps.

Thanks
Madhavan

Application Context is used to implement FGAC (aka RLS).  You need to read

RE: Re: Row level security and latch waits

2003-08-19 Thread Gorbounov,Vadim
Jack, 
You are right, app context is treated as a bind variable, but someone may
decide not to use it in RLS policy function. Example (maybe a little unreal
but valid):

CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY Oe_security AS

FUNCTION Custnum_sec (D1 VARCHAR2, D2 VARCHAR2) RETURN VARCHAR2
IS
D_predicate VARCHAR2 (2000)
BEGIN
 D_predicate = 'create_date > '''||to_char(sysdate-1)||'''';
 RETURN D_predicate;
END Custnum_sec;
END Oe_security;

Hence hard parses.

OK, I went and looked in the 8i Concepts manual.  It seems pretty clear
that Application Context variables are used as bind variables.  It may have
changed for 9i, but I can't see how or why.

"Application Context


Application context facilitates the implementation of fine-grained access
control. It allows you to implement security policies with functions and
then associate those security policies with applications. Each application
can have its own application-specific context. Users are not allowed to
arbitrarily change their context (for example, through SQL*Plus).


Application contexts permit flexible, parameter-based access control, based
on attributes of interest to an application. For example, context
attributes for a human resources application could include "position",
"organizational unit", and "country" while attributes for an order-entry
control might be "customer number" and "sales region".

You can:
- Base predicates on context values
- Use context values within predicates, as bind variables<<<< NOTE THIS

- Set user attributes
- Access user attributes "

Re: Re: Row level security and latch waits

2003-08-19 Thread JApplewhite

OK, I went and looked in the 8i Concepts manual.  It seems pretty clear
that Application Context variables are used as bind variables.  It may have
changed for 9i, but I can't see how or why.

"Application Context


Application context facilitates the implementation of fine-grained access
control. It allows you to implement security policies with functions and
then associate those security policies with applications. Each application
can have its own application-specific context. Users are not allowed to
arbitrarily change their context (for example, through SQL*Plus).


Application contexts permit flexible, parameter-based access control, based
on attributes of interest to an application. For example, context
attributes for a human resources application could include "position",
"organizational unit", and "country" while attributes for an order-entry
control might be "customer number" and "sales region".

You can:
- Base predicates on context values
- Use context values within predicates, as bind variables<<<< NOTE THIS
LINE.>>>>>
- Set user attributes
- Access user attributes "

RLS doesn't use bind variables?  How then does Oracle treat the Application
Context variables that you include in the predicates generated by the
Security Policy functions?  If those aren't bind variables then I guess I
don't know what bind variables are.

Please refer me to the documentation on which your assertion is based.

hi all,


in the latest code release, a group implemented RLS and since then
spotlight is constantly flagging 'latch waits' in the system. Yesterday the
latch waits were upwards of 90%.


Most active sessions seem to run the policy function defined as part of
RLS. The worst part was all this wait was only on one node, the other node
was healthy.


While we are trying to capture more information, anything else that we can
do? Any ideas?  TIA

Re: RE: Row level security and latch waits

2003-08-19 Thread rgaffuri
im fairly certain its because DBMS_RLS doesnt use bind variables now. latch waits 
indicates plus your 100 concurrent users.

you can check this by going to v$sqlarea and checking for similiar sql_text 
statements. if they are there, then your not using bind variables. there is a query in 
tom kytes book. not sure where it is on the web now that wrox is out of business. its 
probably on asktom though.

Title: Row level security and latch waits





hi all,


in the latest code release, a group implemented RLS and since then spotlight is constantly flagging 'latch waits' in the system. Yesterday the latch waits were upwards of 90%. 

Most active sessions seem to run the policy function defined as part of RLS. The worst part was all this wait was only on one node, the other node was healthy.

While we are trying to capture more information, anything else that we can do? Any ideas?  TIA

Title: Row level security and latch waits



I've 
developped 3 functions for fined-grain access control and the users have tested 
them. 
There 
are only 3-4 users in the acceptance env. and I did not noticed 
anything.
 
What 
version are you running and how many users ?
We're 
on 8172
 
Someday it will go in production here...

  hi all, 
  in the latest code release, a group 
  implemented RLS and since then spotlight is constantly flagging 'latch waits' 
  in the system. Yesterday the latch waits were upwards of 90%. 
  Most active sessions seem to run the policy 
  function defined as part of RLS. The worst part was all this wait was only on 
  one node, the other node was healthy.
  While we are trying to capture more 
  information, anything else that we can do? Any ideas?  TIA

Raj - In this case, RLS would be Row Level Security?
