Re: Re[2]: Oracle vs Mysql

2004-01-20 Thread mkline1
I know I used to set up RPT and do all sorts of complex updating things. At the State and with things coming from mainframes, the data organization seemed to lend itself well to RPT. Since the organization was like of loops within loops, I could take the high order update and then loop through

Inserts

This may be more on that parallel being set too high, but looking for ways to improve insert speed. I've seen the "APPEND" hint mentioned, but not sure if that speeds things up or simply says "Insert at the end". Also, a co-worker found a PL/SQL on a "degree=4" table that has a cursor, then one

Parallel Query determined by?

2004-01-20 Thread mkline1
I've inherited a system that has a whole lot of indexes set to degree 10 and many tables set to 2 & 4. The users are complaining that Precise is showing a whole lot of time in "Parallel Sync Wait". It is an HP box running 8.1.7.4 with 16 processors. The box is normally not very busy. Are there

RE: FW: Disk capacity planning

2004-01-20 Thread mkline1
I found myself working with some "larger" databases in the 500-800 GB range that also spawn into multiple test databases. I take a "df -k" or "bdf" and bring that into excel. Then I take a query on all "autoextend" and break that out by disk. then I put that all together and tell what's left on

On Partitions

2003-12-09 Thread mkline1
We have a data warehouse around 850gb. I have a question on procedure. We only keep 2 months data in several groupings by month, with 3 months "ready".. So, say Nov is in M1 and Dec is in M2. At the end of December, we will create an empty January which will go back into M1 and we will be tunc

Re: Add/Drop partition and CBO statistics

2003-12-03 Thread mkline1
I've got a perfect application for partitioning by date. Each "month" is a new batch of data and everything is set for the last date of the month. But they asked me today, if we drop a partition of old data, and then add a new partition for the next month, load it, what needs analyzed? Is it en

RE: Query temp segments blank

2003-11-26 Thread mkline1
Below was the closest I got, but it still pretty much shows everything "empty" sort of. Guess it's okay, I'll monitor. This is a warehouse so it's hard to say. So close to the holidays, it's possible they aren't using a lot of temp. set linesize 162 set pagesize 30 column tablespace_name forma

Query temp segments blank

2003-11-26 Thread mkline1
It appears one database I can not query the temp tablespace. It's local, unform extents, but nothing shows up in dba_segments or any where I have found thus far. Has this progressed to a "trust me" type of situation? Even TOAD gives me nothing but blanks on objects in TEMP yet on other database

Changing character set

2003-11-19 Thread mkline1
Anyone change character sets recently? I've got a cust that wants to take a small database from US7ASCII to UTF8 I believe it was. It sounds like they have all the steps down pat and are pretty much ready to go, but are there any "gotchas" they may have missed? Will this affect the RMAN backup
