Re:Oracle Performance Tuning steps

2002-06-26 Thread dgoulet

Chetan,

First questions, What changed?  Did someone add/delete an index?  Was there
an oversized data load done?  When were the statistics, if present, last
computed?  Has a new program/application been added to the server?  Did a memory
bank go offline?  Did a disk interface card go offline?

I use HP's HP-UX boxes as well, except most of my DB's are 10 times larger
then yours. Just about everytime something like that happens, especially all of
a sudden, one of those questions is the cause.  The last item I'd go looking
for, have only had one instance of it so far, is a unrestricted user who
released "the query from HELL" into the database as a "one time requirement". 
If you can find him/her I've a used gallows rope is still here, one usage only.

Hi guys ,

Need some help. Actually we are looking here at a Oracle 8.1.7 db on HP-UNIX.
The application was running fine uptil yesterday. Suddenly a part of the appln
is running extremely slow. I can not figure what might be the problem. Wanted to
track this down asap.

Here is some information about the db.

Database size - 20GB

Optimizer - CHOOSE

Disk Structure - RAID 1+0

No. of processors - 4

Block Size - 8K

Archivelog mode : ARCHIVELOG

Please tell me what should be the ideal way I should try to trace the problem. I
thought of running UTLBSTAT/UTLESTAT or STATSPACK and asked the user to run that
part of the appln. Has anybody worked with STATSPACK before ?

Can anybody tell me what should accurate and fastest way to hunt down the
problem ? I think its something to do with indexes or changes in the queries.

Also can someone tell me the ideal backup strategy for this database considering
the fact that it's a 24x7 system.

Thanks in advance .

Dick ,
Thanks a ton for ur feedback. I ran UTLBSTAT/UTLESTAT and found out that the problem was with memory. Then I went and queried V$SGASTAT, V$SQLAREA, V$SQLTEXT. Can u tell me if there can be any other problems ? I found out later that there were some indexes added afterwards.
Thanks nyways.
