RE: Problem with archive log when testing recovery..., urgent
Well, I think I forget the alter system switch logfile before shutdown and after restart. I'll try that n let you all know the result. Regards, Wendry. -Original Message- Sent: Tuesday, January 13, 2004 6:07 PM To: Wendry Nothing major amiss there, that is exactly what I do. However, remember to do an alter system switch logfile, before shutting the DB, then backup, restart, alter system switch logfile, and take all the logfiles upto and including that created on the second logfile switch. I'd suspect that not switching before shutting down may be the cause, but I'm working on the logic as to why. Let me know how it goes.

RE: stress testing
The patch I refer to is one I made that didn't make it into the most recent version of yapppack. YP uses an array as internal storage, and walks through it with a for i in 1..n loop. Since arrays are sparsely populated there is a fair chance of hitting an array element that does not exist. The patch consists of rewriting the loop with array.first/next/last in a while loop to avoid the problem. Yes, it is high level, but it can pinpoint time periods that you may want to investigate.

RE: stress testing
Henry: John is partially correct. SAR, in concert with VMSTAT / IOSTAT, will provide you with a wealth of information. However, something is missing from the equation here. LoadRunner will generate scattered statistics on overall performance of an application (sorry: biased because Compuware has a better tool), but misses the mark on what other things could affect overall application performance. For example, are you doing to perform a virgin load test where no one is on the network and nothing but this application is running on the client? What about other traffic that would affect overall performance throughout your enterprise network? What about other applications/activities running on the client machines performing the load test. Only then will you have an effective measurement of application performance in the real world. If you truly have to use LoadRunner, get some software that can measure Network Performance as it relates to the load test and as it relates to general network traffic. The load test should account for other activity being performed such as email, backups, file transfers, reading of documents, etc. Otherwise, your numbers will be skewed. Good luck.

Re: stress testing
And when you're doing stress testing, make sure you load your system for quite long time. Stress testing shouldn't only verify system performance, but it should also test system's reliability. One of my clients had a problem with Oracle Apps, where they did a stress test for just one hour and concluded that the performance was acceptable. But one of the components in Apps (forms server) started just hanging after 5-6 hours of usage in their system, so if they had done an automated stress test over a weekend or even more, they'd have found it. Also, any kind of testing should simulate real life, if possible - otherwise you'll get results which might not match with future production usage all. That means, the amounts of data should be similar, if you can use a copy of real system for testing it'd be the best, also note that there are probably different usage patterns in your future system (such as month/year ending, campaign periods in retail businesses etc) so your system has to cope with all of them.

Testing database links
Dear Listers, Oracle 8i HP-UX11. We have a database link with a remote database which is accessed from the application code. In the application code, a call is made to the 'dbms_session.close_database_link' procedure (that is what they claim!!). We want to track the call to the database link and the subsequent closure. We don't have any access to the remote system to check the remote session being created and closed. Is there any way (dynamic performance view etc.) which would show the database link being in use and closed again on the local database itself? Thanks regards, Charu -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.net -- Author: Charu Joshi INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services-- 858-538-5051 http://www.fatcity.com San Diego, California-- Mailing list and web hosting services - To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).

Re: Buffer Pool Testing
At a high level, I think the various pools operate in pretty much the same way - but there are some differences, some of which may be affected by various hidden parameters. For example, Steve Adams has this note (dated Oct 2000) on his website as one of several observations on the 'new' LRU mechanism. Some details may have evolved since then, of course, but it is a good indication of how the pools can be the same, but different. quote By default, the KEEP and RECYCLE buffer pools do not have a hot region, but this can be changed by setting the _db_percent_hot_keep and _db_percent_hot_recycle parameters to non-zero values. Otherwise, the RECYCLE buffer pool has exactly the same LRU semantics as the DEFAULT buffer pool - it is only the name that is different - and the KEEP buffer pool differs only in that buffers read for long table scans are cached just below the hot region rather than at the LRU end and consistent read buffers are immediately frozen. /quote Regards Jonathan Lewis http://www.jlcomp.demon.co.uk Coming soon a new one-day tutorial: Cost Based Optimisation (see http://www.jlcomp.demon.co.uk/tutorial.html ) Next Seminar dates: (see http://www.jlcomp.demon.co.uk/seminar.html ) England__January 21/23 The Co-operative Oracle Users' FAQ http://www.jlcomp.demon.co.uk/faq/ind_faq.html -Original Message- To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: 03 January 2003 02:23 2. The KEEP and RECYCLE Pools aren't really special in any sense: the buffer algorithms are the same for these as for the DEFAULT pool - it is just that these pools are named so that tables can be defaulted to load into any one of them. By using this feature judiciously, you might be able to avoid the problems of unneccesary buffering during FTS on tables smaller than the threshhold without actually changing the undocumented parameter.

Re: Buffer Pool Testing
The reason that I consider it a problem is that I have increased the physical IO on my database. I see Full Table Scans on these two tables, which are large tables relative to the others. I moved them to they RECYCLE pool so that they would have less of an impact on the DEFAULT pool. By doing so, it looks like I am forcing the database to do more physical reads than it may have been doing with these tables in the DEFAULT pool. I thought the FTS blocks would fight with each other (the blocks queried the most often would stay in the pool) over the RECYCLE pool, but the algorithm keeps the first blocks in place. Knowing this, I think I need to re-evaluate whether or not these tables were causing a problem in the DEFAULT pool to begin with. I tried _db_percent_hot_recycle=10, but didn't really notice much of a difference. Since all of my blocks are read into this pool by FTS, I was hoping that it would consider some of them to be hot, thereby causing the rest to be flushed out faster. I just wanted the hottest FTS blocks to stay in the RECYCLE pool, but that wasn't the case. Jay [EMAIL PROTECTED] 01/02/03 06:44PM The 'problem' is, as you say, related to the tablescan. Craig is correct that NORMALLY a full tablescan will only permit a limited number of blocks to get into the cache at the LRU end of the chain - the number is typically the size of db_file_multblock_read_count. There are a couple of special cases though, the first being when there are free blocks in the buffer, Oracle will just keep packing in the multiblock reads into the cache until there are no free blocks left. (And specifically free means state=0). The other special case I can think of at the moment is when you have multiple tablescans going on concurrently, and depending on precise timing you can end up with multiples of db_file_multiblock_read_count blocks from different tables near the LRU end of the cache. There was a period, I believe, when the RECYCLE pool did behave a little differently (can anyone confirm this ?) but in 9.2.0.2, it handles tablescans just the same way as the default pool.

Craig Shallahammer mentions this in his All About Oracle's Touch-Count Data Block Buffer Algoithm paper - The modified LRU algorithm places full-table scanned blocks read into the buffer cache at the LRU end of the LRU chain and only permits a limited number of these blocks to exist in the cache at once. Using my second example (query ALRA_TRANSACTION_HISTORY then WORK_ORDER_STEP), I can get more blocks of WORK_ORDER_STEP into the cache if I run queries that don't do full table scans. I still expected multiple queries against a table (full-scan or otherwise) to replace the cache blocks that I was no longer using - especially in the RECYCLE pool.

Re: Buffer Pool Testing
I think you are seeing expected behaviour. Blocks subject to tablescan are loaded in to the LRU end of the cache, even when using a RECYCLE cache. However, if there are free blocks in the cache (state = 0) Oracle uses those rather than flushing other blocks. Consequently, when you startup and scan a 400 block table with a 1,000 block cache, the whole 400 blocks will get into memory. Then the next 10,000 block scan will start by using the last 600 blocks of the cache before recycling the last db_file_multiblock_read_count blocks. By this time, though, the 1st 400 blocks are at the MRU end of the chain, and are not moved by the subsequent tablescan. If you start with the 10,000 block scan, the whole cache is filled. The second scan then keeps recycling the last db_file_multiblock_read_count blocks (though in your case I guess it's plus one - possibly a cleanout block, possibly the segment header block which may go into the Default pool in v9 - without pushing out any more of the first 1,000 blocks from the first scan. Periods of time shortly after startup are always likely to show anomalous behaviour.

RE: Buffer Pool Testing
Jay, Have you considered the default value of '_small_table_threshold'? Apparently it defaults to 2% of the Buffer cache in 8i (haven't seen any official docs to support this though) Also wondering how this works in the case of the 'special' buffer pools in combination with the 'CACHE' and 'NOCACHE' option on the tables in question. Is my understanding that the kernel would load a 'small' table into the MRU end rather than the LRU correct? Two myths here: 1. The 'old' docs (V6, V7.0??) said that small tables were 4 blocks or lesser (or was it 5 blocks?). This carried over into the later versions 2. The KEEP and RECYCLE Pools aren't really special in any sense: the buffer algorithms are the same for these as for the DEFAULT pool - it is just that these pools are named so that tables can be defaulted to load into any one of them. By using this feature judiciously, you might be able to avoid the problems of unneccesary buffering during FTS on tables smaller than the threshhold without actually changing the undocumented parameter.

The other special case I can think of at the moment is when you have multiple tablescans going on concurrently, and depending on precise timing you can end up with multiples of db_file_multiblock_read_count blocks from different tables near the LRU end of the cache. There was a period, I believe, when the RECYCLE pool did behave a little differently (can anyone confirm this ?) but in 9.2.0.2, it handles tablescans just the same way as the default pool.

Craig Shallahammer mentions this in his All About Oracle's Touch-Count Data Block Buffer Algoithm paper - The modified LRU algorithm places full-table scanned blocks read into the buffer cache at the LRU end of the LRU chain and only permits a limited number of these blocks to exist in the cache at once. Using my second example (query ALRA_TRANSACTION_HISTORY then WORK_ORDER_STEP), I can get more blocks of WORK_ORDER_STEP into the cache if I run queries that don't do full table scans. I still expected multiple queries against a table (full-scan or otherwise) to replace the cache blocks that I was no longer using - especially in the RECYCLE pool. But it appears as though the algorithm doesn't work that way.

Buffer Pool Testing
I'm spending some time today experimenting with buffer pools in 8.1.7. I have two tables that I have assigned to the RECYCLE pool. I have been running various queries that perform full table scans, then checking the buffers to see what gets aged out. During my testing, it seems like the first blocks to get into the RECYCLE buffer pool will stay there. The following two tables are assigned to the RECYCLE pool. No other segments are assigned to it: WORK_ORDER_STEP - 428 blocks of data ALRA_TRANSACTION_HISTORY - 14152 blocks of data The RECYCLE pool has 1000 blocks. I startup the database, query the WORK_ORDER_STEP table (1 time), then run multiple queries against the ALRA_TRANSACTION_HISTORY table (6 times), I see the following in the buffers (the source for this query is at the end of my email): BP_NAME OBJ_OWNER NAME BLOCKS MAX_TOUCH MIN_TOUCH AVG_TOUCH --- -- -- - - - RECYCLE BIS ALRA_TRANSACTION_HISTORY 569 14 0 .02 RECYCLE WRKORD WORK_ORDER_STEP 431 1 0 .00 If I startup the database, query the ALRA_TRANSACTION_HISTORY table (1 time), then run multiple queries against the WORK_ORDER_STEP table (6 queries), I get these results: First query - 1000 blocks are used as expected BP_NAME OBJ_OWNER NAME BLOCKS MAX_TOUCH MIN_TOUCH AVG_TOUCH --- -- -- - - - RECYCLE BIS ALRA_TRANSACTION_HISTORY 1000 2 0 .00 After querying the second table multiple times, I expected more than just 9 blocks to be given up. I expected more like 431 blocks. BP_NAME OBJ_OWNER NAME BLOCKS MAX_TOUCH MIN_TOUCH AVG_TOUCH --- -- -- - - - RECYCLE BIS ALRA_TRANSACTION_HISTORY 991 2 0 .00 RECYCLE WRKORD WORK_ORDER_STEP 9 4 0 .44 I expected the blocks (from the table that was queried first) to be aged out as I queried the second table (over and over). This does not occur. Am I hitting a bug or just misunderstanding the buffer management algorithms? ALRA_TRANSACTION_HISTORY blocks should be LRU as I hit the WORK_ORDER_STEP table over and over. Thanks, Jay Here is the query that I use to check what is in the buffer pools: select bpd.bp_name, u.name obj_owner, o.name, count(*) BLOCKS, max(tch) max_touch, min(tch) min_touch, avg(tch) avg_touch from x$kcbwds wds, /* working data sets */ x$kcbwbpd bpd, /* buffer pools */ x$bh bh, /* buffer headers */ obj$ o,/* objects */ user$ u where wds.set_id = bpd.bp_lo_sid and wds.set_id = bpd.bp_hi_sid and bpd.bp_size != 0 and bh.indx between wds.start_buf# and wds.end_buf# and o.dataobj# = bh.obj and bh.state !=0 and o.owner# !=0 /* exclude sys */ and o.owner# = u.user# group by bpd.bp_name, u.name, o.name order by bpd.bp_name, u.name, o.name ; **DISCLAIMER This e-mail message and any files transmitted with it are intended for the use of the individual or entity to which they are addressed and may contain information that is privileged, proprietary and confidential.

Rollback Segment Size Testing.
hi, list friends: I am interested in that topic:http://www.ioug.org/ioug_s/repository_pkg.doc?v_tech_content_dtl_phy_id=7666 I am also considering whether too large rbs segment size does have adverse impact on database performance. In my production (OLTP) i configured rbs to be 1m*20 extents. But from v$rollstat and statspack, the average active size is 1.5M. I am considering whether it is too large and shrink it to 128k*20 will help.(but hard to find out the performance gains as it is a big system). If anyone in this list have IOUG membership, can you send me a copy?

Re: Rollback Segment Size Testing.
Zhu Chao, Please be aware that rollback segments serve two major purposes: * recover individual transactions (i.e. rollback) * provide before-image information for read-consistency The information you are getting from V$ROLLSTAT and STATSPACK is accurate at measuring the first purpose only. Until Oracle9i and the V$UNDOSTAT view that accompanies the use of UNDO tablespaces, it is very difficult to estimate how much space is necessary to satisfy the needs of SQL statements requiring before-image information in order to complete successfully without the ORA-01555 snapshot too old error message. First of all, the size or number of extents in a rollback segment does not affect the performance of SQL statements. Of course, if the size of the extents is extremely small and the number of extents varies wildly up and down, then the sheer overhead of extent maintenance might be a performance factor. Since you are examining V$ROLLSTAT and STATSPACK, you have info as to whether this is happening in hand (i.e. columns EXTENDS and SHRINKS in V$ROLLSTAT)... So, since there is no adverse impact related to the number and size of extents for RBS (other than that mentioned above, easily verifiable), and since reducing the amount of space in your RBS can increase the probability of incurring the ORA-01555 error, I'd like to suggest that the only advantage you can gain by reducing the size or number of extents is saving space. Is space a concern? Summary: be careful and be alert for the incidence of the ORA-01555 error message. Since only end-users become aware of it (i.e. it is not logged in alert.log or in trace files), you might want to activate an AFTER SERVERERROR database-event trigger (if you are running 8i or above) to log occurrances of it. Otherwise, you'll need to be certain that end-users have a reliable feedback mechanism to alert you to any changes in the frequency of ORA-01555. All in all, I think you should leave things alone, unless there is a quantifiable problem. Just some things to consider... -Tim - Original Message - To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, November 12, 2002 5:59 AM hi, list friends: I am interested in that topic:http://www.ioug.org/ioug_s/repository_pkg.doc?v_tech_content_dtl_phy_i d=7666 I am also considering whether too large rbs segment size does have adverse impact on database performance.

However, since the system is not in production, I will be limited to using a single user or small group to simulate use of the application. Therefore, I will have to find a way to scale the limited capture to production-like levels and substitute values for transactions and queries.

Re: testing freelists
(20 days later -- occurrences aren't that common) Jared, Ok, I've re-RTFM'd the Concepts manual and have dog eared Steve's book unbelievably. I've used the event 10046 traces while the blocking lock event was going on. The curious thing is that I'm not seeing any buffer busy waits. The blocked process sits there and cranks out an equeue wait trace every 3 seconds and does not report a file, block or row that it is waiting on. If I'm reading Steve's book correctly, I should see file and block but no row if it's an initrans problem, so that's out. In Katz's article in the Feb 2002 elementK Journal he says that if all three are 0 then it's a problem with free space in the block and maybe pctfree is low. The table I'm inserting into has 2k blocks and PCTFREE=30. The insert is only populating 7 of the 185 columns, that's 6 varchar2's and a date. There should be plenty of room, unless as you pointed out that the problem was really not in this table -- possibly in the indexes. This guy does have 15 indexes (all single column, all PCTFREE=10). A curious thing is that when I look at the blocker, he shows that he's blocking on 2 tables, this one that he has a transaction open on, and a journaling table that triggers off the first insert into -- but his rows are only 70 bytes and he has PCTFREE=10 also. So I've got 17 suspects, all with plausible alibis. And I haven't figured out how to get the enqueue wait to squeal on any of them. If I'm understanding the file=0 block=0 row=0 properly, he tried, he couldn't get a block so he waits 3 seconds and tries again indefinately. But when one of these happens, I see a rash of them so something's causing it. I keep returning to free lists. This is an evolved application (he says euphemistically) and it's had a freelist=1 on everything since it slithered out of the slime. Now it's running on a 4 cpu sparc. I'm wondering if the free list is just getting overran and if bumping it to the sometimes advised cpu*2 could clear the problem. I have lingering doubts because I haven't found anything that specifically says what I should be seeing when that happens. So I guess I should try to make this into a question hmmn... Am I barking up the wrong tree? -rje From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Tuesday, February 05, 2002, 10:36:27 AM Subject: testing freelists ===8==Original message text=== Robert, Simulating the problem and proving the correction is an excellent idea. One thing to consider when putting together your testing scenario is that writes to the database block by a transaction are done in memory, that is they are made to the cached database blocks. An internal locking mechanism ( a latch ) is used to control access to the cache, and it is normally held for only a short time. The data may be written to the disk before a commit, and it may not be written to disk until after a commit. ( referring to datafiles only here, not the redo log ). The 60 second sleep in your script is only simulating user think time, it's not actually blocking anything. You will need to similate several session simultaneously inserting, and you will need to know if the contention is in the table or in an index: I'm guessing it's an index or indexes. Some time spent with the Concepts manual would help you out here. Here's an excerpt from the section on database writer: Database Writer (DBWn) The database writer writes modified blocks from the database buffer cache to the datafiles. Although one database writer process (DBW0) is sufficient for most systems, you can configure additional processes (DBW1 through DBW9) to improve write performance for a system that modifies data heavily. The initialization parameter DB_WRITER_PROCESSES specifies the number of DBWn processes. Since Oracle uses write-ahead logging, DBWn does not need to write blocks when a transaction commits. Instead, DBWn is designed to perform batched writes with high efficiency. In the most common case, DBWn writes only when more data needs to be read into the system global area and too few database buffers are free. The least recently used data is written to the datafiles first. DBWn also performs writes for other functions such as checkpointing. Take a look at Chapter 15 on Transactions as well. Also check out Steve Adams' web site, www.ixora.com.au. Lots of interesting stuff there if you want to learn about the internals. Here's an excerpt from the section on Free lists: As mentioned previously, free list contention occurs when multiple processes using the same free list attempt to modify the data block on the head of the free list concurrently. It is shown in V$WAITSTAT against the data block class. V$WAITSTAT can also show contention for the segment header and free list blocks. This occurs where multiple transaction in the same free

If I'm reading Steve's book correctly, I should see file and block but no row if it's an initrans problem, so that's out. I am assuming that the mode for the TX enqueue is 4. Right ? In Katz's article in the Feb 2002 elementK Journal he says that if all three are 0 then it's a problem with free space in the block and maybe pctfree is low. The table I'm inserting into has 2k blocks and PCTFREE=30. The insert is only populating 7 of the 185 columns, that's 6 varchar2's and a date. There should be plenty of room, unless as you pointed out that the problem was really not in this table -- possibly in the indexes. This guy does have 15 indexes (all single column, all PCTFREE=10). A curious thing is that when I look at the blocker, he shows that he's blocking on 2 tables, this one that he has a transaction open on, and a journaling table that triggers off the first insert into -- but his rows are only 70 bytes and he has PCTFREE=10 also. Are the indexes UNIQUE ? If yes, what is the chance of people inserting into with the same value ? Are the indexes BITMAP ? So I've got 17 suspects, all with plausible alibis. And I haven't figured out how to get the enqueue wait to squeal on any of them. If I'm understanding the file=0 block=0 row=0 properly, he tried, he couldn't get a block so he waits 3 seconds and tries again indefinately. But when one of these happens, I see a rash of them so something's causing it. Forget about the file, block, row values. They don't mean a thing if you are not waiting on TX mode 6. I keep returning to free lists. This is an evolved application (he says euphemistically) and it's had a freelist=1 on everything since it slithered out of the slime. Now it's running on a 4 cpu sparc. I'm wondering if the free list is just getting overran and if bumping it to the sometimes advised cpu*2 could clear the problem. I have lingering doubts because I haven't found anything that specifically says what I should be seeing when that happens. The only freelist problem that you could have is transaction freelists. But you are doing inserts so that is not the case here. So I guess I should try to make this into a question hmmn... Am I barking up the wrong tree? The right tree, but the tree doesn't understand barking ;-) Anjo. -rje From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Tuesday, February 05, 2002, 10:36:27 AM Subject: testing freelists ===8==Original message text=== Robert, Simulating the problem and proving the correction is an excellent idea.

Re: testing freelists
Robert,
Simulating the problem and proving the correction is an excellent idea.
One thing to consider when putting together your testing scenario is
that writes to the database block by a transaction are done in memory,
that is they are made to the cached database blocks.
An internal locking mechanism ( a latch ) is used to control access to
the cache, and it is normally held for only a short time.
The data may be written to the disk before a commit, and it may not
be written to disk until after a commit. ( referring to datafiles only
here, not the redo log ).
The 60 second sleep in your script is only simulating user think time,
it's not actually blocking anything. You will need to similate several
session simultaneously inserting, and you will need to know if the
contention
is in the table or in an index: I'm guessing it's an index or indexes.
Some time spent with the Concepts manual would help you out here.
Here's an excerpt from the section on database writer:
Database Writer (DBWn)
The database writer writes modified blocks from the database buffer
cache to the datafiles. Although one database writer process (DBW0)
is sufficient for most systems, you can configure additional processes
(DBW1 through DBW9) to improve write performance for a system that
modifies data heavily. The initialization parameter DB_WRITER_PROCESSES
specifies the number of DBWn processes.
Since Oracle uses write-ahead logging, DBWn does not need to write
blocks when a transaction commits. Instead, DBWn is designed to perform
batched
writes with high efficiency. In the most common case, DBWn writes only
when more
data needs to be read into the system global area and too few database
buffers are free. The least recently used data is written to the datafiles
first. DBWn
also performs writes for other functions such as checkpointing.
Take a look at Chapter 15 on Transactions as well.
Also check out Steve Adams' web site, www.ixora.com.au. Lots of
interesting stuff
there if you want to learn about the internals. Here's an excerpt from
the section
on Free lists:
As mentioned previously, free list contention occurs when multiple
processes using the same free list attempt to modify the data block on the
head of the free list concurrently. It is shown in V$WAITSTAT against the data block
class. V$WAITSTAT can also show contention for the segment header and free list
blocks. This occurs where multiple transaction in the same free list
group need to update their free list header records simultaneously. There
are various ways of addressing these problems such as rebuilding the table
with more free list groups, or increasing _bump_highwater_mark_count, or the novel
idea of fixing the application.
To drill down on which segments are causing data block contention, I suggested using
event 10046, level 8. This creates a trace
file much like to one produced by the sql_trace facility, except that for each event
wait a line is printed to the trace
file. In particular, each buffer busy wait is recorded together with the
P1 and P2 values which are the data file and block number of the wait. So
to find which blocks a process has been waiting on, you just grep the trace file for
buffer busy waits lines and produce a histogram of the file and block numbers most
commonly
waited for. Once you have suspect file and block numbers, you can relate
them to a segment by querying DBA_EXTENTS. In the case of free list
contention on a table it is common to have several hot blocks just below
the high water mark for the segment.
If you really want to learn the internals, his book is excellent for that.
It's not normally necessary
IMO to delve that deep into the internals to deal with tuning problems, at
least in my experience.
It will certainly help you develop insight and intuition as to what is
going on with your database though.

RE: Regression Testing at Oracle???
This seems to be standard practice any more... SIGH! But Oracle must be one
of the worst offenders.
I once was looking to implement Oracle Financials as a paying beta
customer (Shouldn't this be a contradiction in terms?). Oracle was the
alpha and Sequent Computer in Oregon was the original beta (Oracle and
Sequent had a pretty tight relationship back then). The Sequent
implementation was on their own servers running Dynix, a Unix derivative.
Our implementation was to be a port to VAX/VMS. What a mess! Bug city and
Oracle still wanted to charge us big bucks for beta software!! Oracle
eventually dropped the VMS port and I believe the first commercial version
of the Oracle Apps did not ship for another 2-3 years. I wonder, how many
companies paid for Oracle's development costs?

Oracle version banner still
shows the version to be 8.1.7.1.
Likelihood of Occurrence
You will encounter this problem if you install the
8.1.7.2.0 patch set
on top of either 8.1.7.1 or 8.1.7.1B on any of the
platforms listed above.
You are STRONGLY advised NOT to install 8.1.7.2.0
on top of 8.1.7.1
releases until this issue is addressed.
Possible Symptoms
~
The main visible symptoms of this issue are:
a. The Oracle version banner still shows the
RDBMS release to be
8.1.7.1
b. SELECT * FROM V$VERSION shows the release
to be 8.1.7.1
c. Bugs fixed in 8.1.7.2 may still be
encountered
There may be additional symptoms not yet
discovered as the resulting
installation contains an untested combination of
modules.
Workaround
~~
The only workaround to this problem is to install
8.1.7.2.0 on top of
an 8.1.7.0 Oracle installation.
ie: If the current installation is at release
8.1.7.1, then you must
reinstall 8.1.7.0 and then apply the 8.1.7.2
patch set.
If you have already installed 8.1.7.2 on top of
8.1.7.1 then it is
advisable to reinstall the base release (8.1.7.0)
and then apply
the patch set on top of this to get a proper
8.1.7.2 release
installed.
Patches
~~~
The affected patch sets will be re-released
shortly with the
version number 8.1.7.2.1. These updated patch sets
will install
on top of 8.1.7.1, 8.1.7.1B or 8.1.7.0. If
possible please
avoid upgrading until the revised patch sets are
released.

OTRE: Regression Testing at Oracle???
Supports my personal theory (no peer-reviewed work, yet, sorry Eric! :) that
large corporations routinely get away
with lots of things that you and I
would get killed, sued, beat up, and/or
besmirched for.

This seems to be standard practice any more... SIGH! But Oracle must be one
of the worst offenders.
I once was looking to implement Oracle Financials as a paying beta
customer (Shouldn't this be a contradiction in terms?). Oracle was the
alpha and Sequent Computer in Oregon was the original beta (Oracle and
Sequent had a pretty tight relationship back then). The Sequent
implementation was on their own servers running Dynix, a Unix derivative.
Our implementation was to be a port to VAX/VMS. What a mess! Bug city and
Oracle still wanted to charge us big bucks for beta software!! Oracle
eventually dropped the VMS port and I believe the first commercial version
of the Oracle Apps did not ship for another 2-3 years. I wonder, how many
companies paid for Oracle's development costs?

This makes me wonder: what kind of regression testing is implemented by
oracle?
Trial and error? It makes me wonder, oh it makes me wander (Stairway to

system requirement for performance testing
Hi, We r building a application and need to specify the requirements of a hardware for testing of its performance. our performace metric includes mostly insert statements 10 million insert to 7 tables...then we have to execute some procedures...then report. our main concern is insert...we can't use any bulk inserts...all inserts will be thru application insert statements. Here is the brief test information 10 million insert now taking about 26 hrs for 127,000 accounts with this pace it will take about 40 days only(if everything go well) for insert while we need to finish this in less than 20 days...this test is on 1 cpu single hard disk..512Mb ram..this insert is a single user activity.batch processing.. database size is estimated to be about 400G not much complex stored proceduresonly worry is insert.. we generally use DELL machines.we need to use NT only.. I will appreciate if u give some suggestion with ur experience... information i need is : 1) number of hard disks ...how much capacity each 2) how many cpu's.. 3) how much RAM.. I need to explain the management for each request so kindly include the reason for each request.
