Slow down in database access

I have completed a project which automates the procesing of stock monitoring and billing ofacocacola stockist in my home town. The processor need in the machine is P4. I used JDK 1.4 with MS-Access (Office 2000) as backend. I have come across a problem which cannot be detected by me and the service engineers of system also. The problem is stated below.
(i) When i use the billing module of the project i cannot use the billing screen continuously more than 10 times. I am in need of reloading the software to start again.
(ii) All the modules get slow down when in use the software more than 45 minutes.
(iii) When the billing screen get slow an exception is thrown. The name of the exceptio is Event despatch thread queue exception.
I get this proplem when i use the part of the software which are connected to the database.
If i use the other parts of the software (non database activities)then there is no problem in using the software.
I used the same processing for a textile industry's stock monitoring system. There is no problem with the software.
Is there any timeout value set for the access database's connection or for the swing components.
Please consider my request and give suggestion as soon as possible.

Hi,
I think you try to establish many Connections to the Database, but you don`t close them. This can cause memory problems and the other thing is that your database has a limited number of possible open connections. So there are two ways to solve the problem:
(1) After using the Database, close the connection immediately in a finally block
(2) Reuse one (or more) open connections. This is also known as connection Pooling. The advantage of this solution is that the performance of your application will be better because the process of establishing a JDBC Connection has high cost !

  • I upgraded to Maverick system really slowed down, All file access 10-15% slower. Solution?

    After I upgraded from Mountian Lion to Maverick (OS10.9) accessing files and directories on external drives slowed down by at least 10 - 15 %. I get the color wheel and a long wait almost 25% of the time. Is there a solution other than downgrading to 10>8?

    Fixing a Mavericks Installation Problem
    How to manage a failed OS X Mavericks installation | MacFixIt - CNET Reviews.
    Try these in order:
    1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
        b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
         Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
         COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and
         after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears.
         Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
    4. Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • Sequenced primary key slowed down my database!

    I have a table (11 million rows) which was extremely slow for searches (more than 30 seconds) and I thought it's because the records were not unique and I did not have primary key for it. So I decided to add a column and put a sequence in it with a trigger for inserts that fills the field as a primary key. I also updated the statistics for the table. But this alone made the searches a lot slower. Just a sorting takes more than 10 minutes now. Does anybody have any idea what could have gone wrong?!
    I'm working with application express 4.1 and oracle 11g if that matters.
    I appreciate any help.

    I don't know if this helps:

  • Which of these things will slow down a mini?

    1) Two computers connected to a router, both on, and both connected to the internet.
    2) Two computers connected to a KVM switch, both on.
    3) Multiple applications running at once on the mini (Mail, Safari, Text Edit, iCal)
    4) Multiple instances of Safari open at once, accessing different sites.
    s
    Mac mini - Intel Core Duo - 1.66/2GB   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    If you have slow internet access sharing that access through the router will, at times, make one or both computers 'feel' slow while your are browsing but doesn't actually show the computer down.
    Both connected via a KVM won't slow the computer down - but warning be careful about what USB peripherals you share via the KVM. My neighbor connected an external hard drive that way and didn't think about the fact that when he switched the KVM it was causing the hard drive to be improperly disconnected.
    Running multiple programs will make the computer begin to feel slow because once you've reached the limits of your memory the computer will begin shifting data to the hard drive to allow you to keep launching programs. Since older PPC programs need Rosetta to run and Rosetta is a memory hog, the situation becomes even worse when you are running older programs.
    When you open a new window you aren't running another 'instance' of Safari. There's only one running. This won't have any affect other than to draw more data through the internet pipeline which might slow down your internet access until all the pages are loaded.

  • Performance slows down when moving from stage to test schema within same instance with same database table and objects

    We have created a stage schema and tested application which is working fine when we are moving it to another schema for further testing ( This schema is created using same scripts which were used to create objects in staging schema) the performanc of application (Developed in .NET) slows down drastically

  • My external hard drive goes in to constant access mode and really slows down my computer

    I'm using an external hard drive for time machine.  After working for an hour or so the drive goes into a constant access mode and realy slows down my IMac.  I look at activity monitor and everything looks good, no high CPU usage or memory issues.  The only fix is to use the power button to shut down my IMac.  After restart it works fine for a while.
    If I turn off time machine the problem seems to not happen.  I tried disk utility on the external hard drive and it says the dirve is fine.  I change out external drives and the problem still occures.  Any thoughts?

    I didn't realize my profile stated otherwise.
    Please check near the bottom of your original post above to see OS X (10.7.2).  You might want to update that to avoid confusion and save some time in the future.
    OK, please take a deep breath.
    Apple does not officially support Time Machine backups to a drive at the USB port of the AirPort Extreme....likely because it is not reliable. You might want to review this Apple Support document to confirm:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2038
    So, we are not going to be able to provide you with much assistance on that issue.
    Some users seem to be able to make this work....some have some problems....and some (like me) who have tried this have nothing but problems.
    Sorry, I can't help on this one, but maybe another user who has had better luck will post to provide his secrets.
    The iTunes and iPhoto libraries and files are my only copies now.  I moved everything from my Macbook to the external then deleted the originals.
    Not sure if you have thought about this.
    If you deleted the "originals", then your only copy of your data is on one hard drive. You have no backups if the drive has a problem.
    A minimum backup plan would be to have a copy of important data on two different drives. When....not if...one drive fails, you have the data on the "other" drive.
    You have no "other" drive according to the information that you have provided.
    Further.....Time Machine backs up the changes on your Mac. At some point....you cannot know when.....Time Machine will pick up the change on your Mac and delete the iTunes and iPhoto data from your Time Machine backups.
    The files might stay there a few months, or even longer. But, I have seen instances where the files were deleted within a week or two.
    So my advice would be to only delete data from your Mac that you can afford to lose.

  • Slow database access across network

    I have a postgresql database setup on a server machine and have written a java program in netbeans that accesses it. The problem i have is that running the jar created by netbeans from any other machine on the network has really slow database access but running the program from netbeans itself is fine. Running the jar on the server machine is also fine.
    Anyoner got any idea as to why this could be?
    Tom

    I don't know if this will help, I'm just wading into writing my own java apps to hit a SQL 2K db. We purchased a SQL2k/JSP driven backend on which we extended their OM to meet our needs. It was build as an extranet product but ran very poorly across the 'Net.
    The biggest annoyance was not the actual transaction time of the app but the time it took from the end user to click a button and the start of the transaction.
    After much testing I determined it was the JSP.
    So what we have done to alieviate the issue is to have multiple regional Tomcats that 'throw' their transactions to a central colocation where the SQL servers sit (so the tomcats do the JSP managment in a sense locally to the end user) . For big clients we actually place a linux/tomcat box at the edge of their firewall. For whatever reason, I'm far too busy to determine the how now that I get the responses I need, this has completely eradicated the annoying pause between user interaction and the actual transaction to the DB server. Extended testing showed the SQL server running in the sub half second range to process a command but the tomcat rendering could take up to 2 to 5 seconds in worst case for no discernable reason. Moving the tomcat frontends to the network segment where the clients we solved it.
    Of course I'm digging into swing now too and it has some slowness that the Eclipse zealots say SWT fixes but I haven't the depth or experience to properly judge the camps arguments yet.

And know what? there are literraly 1000+ threads in OS System Software forums of the same nature, over and over with much the same 'tips' and such. And I'd say laptops are most frequent to have slow systems. Mayhbe not always.

  • Database slow down happeing for aperticular window

    Hi,
    For last few days we are having a issue with database slow down for a perticular window .We took the awr and ash report for that window and it shows the db file sequential read takes more time for aperticular query.But the same query works fine for rest of the day, so how we find the issue happend at that perticular window?
    Thanks

    Hi ,
    there is not a single query running for that window, multiple sessions are running which are exceuting various queries.

  • System slowed down after Mavericks update (10GB RAM)

    Hi,
    I have recently updated to Maverics on my mac pro, 2 x 2.8 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon, 10GB RAM.
    When I perform regular tasks it's all normal. Unfortunately I do some much more than that. I use Aperture on a daily basis and it seems to have slowed down a bit. The issue is more apparent when I use Final Cut. I can't have any other design/photography/video software on the background anymore. My computer can't deal with. But it could before Mavericks! It will also complain about not enough memory when rendering...
    I understand that kernel task is heavy on the memory and after an EtreCheck I also realised how much memory spotilight is using. I already excluded a lot of items from spotlight, and it's way better, but still, why is my computer so slow?
    Please can someone look at my check and tell me if there's anything I can do to boost my system back to it's previous glory?
    thank you

    Beware of perceived RAM use. 10.9 uses RAM more efficiently:
    About memory management in OSX 10.9 Mavericks
    Memory is managed differently, and more efficiently in 10.9.  It is (mostly) unique in the industry, but may become trend.
    Let’s start with the basics.  Mechanical disk drives are very slow, with access speeds in the 10s of milliseconds and transfer rates in the 200-400 Mbps range real world.  SSDs are much faster, on the order of a couple of ms access and typically 1200-3000 mbps transfer rates.  RAM is much faster than either, in the nanosecond access and transfer speeds of ~8 Gbps effective (1 GHz x 8 bits/byte).
    These are rough numbers for comparison purposes only.
    So the goal is to keep as much in RAM as possible. But if you run out of RAM what do you do?
    Traditionally you take the least used RAM and write it to a special part of the disk, in a way that you can access it most efficiently - minimizing the disk delays.  This is called a swap file because you swap RAM in and out of it.
    10.9 has a new trick:  it compresses RAM using the main processors.  Rather than swapping stuff to disk (disks are slow), it actually uses the processor to compress memory and make, for example, 1 GB of physical RAM hold as much as 1.5GB.  Similar approaches are used to make MP3 files 10x smaller than the real thing - there is redundancy in data and you can take advantage of that.  Apple is making the following calculation: the processors can compress way faster than the disk can swap.  And its also predicting that the processors are often partly idle - waiting for swap files or disk access.  So rather than swap files around, its compresses the files ***in RAM***.
    Compression works,.  Tests show that on average it is faster, and that 4GB (i have 4 GB RAM) acts like 5 1/2 - 6GB.  Wow.
    So, 10.9 will load up most of your RAM, knowing that it can compress some when it needs to.  So don’t worry too much that it may look like all your RAM is taken - yea, it is, but its OK.
    The measures to look at are:
    1. amount compressed. Compression means it has run out of RAM and needs more. As long as compression is low this is fine. In fact this is how 10.9 uses RAM more efficiently than 10.6,7 or 8.  Contrary to common wisdom, it requires LESS RAM than 10.8. The colored indicator tells you who this is going - green (good), yellow( iffy) and red (bad).
    2. amount swapped.  Once it cannot compress any further, or can’t do so efficiently, jot begins old-fashioned swapping.  This is a major slow-down and means you would benefit from more RAM. Tiny amounts are OK.
    here's an article by Apple - but on th pre-10.9 memory management techniques....mostly still true, but read on.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1342?viewlocale=en_US
    Bottom line - compression makes 10.9 use RAM more efficiently than previous OSX versions.  It also makes the “ram used” indicator less meaningful, and mans you should monitor “compression” .
    That said, RAM has always been one of the most cost effective upgrades possible.  People spend too much on new machines and too little on more RAM.
    Hope this helps,

  • Yes it's another Mavericks slowing down my laptop thread :)

    Hi there
    I recently installed Mavericks, just before Xmas in fact, and noticed how slow it was from the start. Now I'm back at work, it's killing me!
    First off, I had lots of problems with Mail, and something to do with Keychain (forgive me, laptop is a tool, I don't really understand how it works). I managed to get that working, although, I must say it still is slow at collecting mail from my various accounts.
    Word, well that's just hysterical. I can sit and type a few lines, sit back and watch Word catch up with me over a minute or so, then have to go back and correct my terrible typing, it's painful and un-usable. I have noted on here to rebuild my Office Database, which I've done, and it appeared to have no problems.
    So what to do? I heard about EtreCheck so have run that and will paste results below, I'm hoping that someone will spot something there that is really obvious and return me to fact Mac nirvana.
    I'm on a 2011 MacBook Pro, 2.8ghz Intel Core i7, 4GB RAM. i don't have lots of 3rd party stuff installed, but do run Photoshop, Quark, Office and a few other apps.
    Here's hoping for help, and thanks in advance!

  • Question about Database Access

    Hello,
    I have one question regarding database access from Java.
    What are the other ways of connecting to database other than JDBC? This was one of the question I been asked by the interviewer. He says JDBC connection can slow down the perfomance when it comes large number of transactions?
    Any insight or help will be very useful.
    Thanks

    He may have been referring to available "persistance managers" like Hibernate or the mechanisms build into EJB containers. However, as far as I know, they all use JDBC, and any speed-up is due to caching of data as objects.

    The application is used in Call Center as well as by branches.
    The java.exe size reaches around 65 mb until i have set the xms parameters in start.bat file and now java.exe size shoots up to around 900 mb with random behavior.There is no congestion at database level.
    Your quick response in this regard would be highly appreciated
    Thanks in advance

    Checking the connection pool configuration to make sure you have the proper max-connections and min-connections setting in data-sources.xml if your application accesses database. Also check the thread pool configuration in server.xml. And check the GC.

    I'm (being lazy and) using the older RT app posted on your last thread. I removed the
    TimeNow timer from the RT class and used System.currentTimeMillis (as you requested) to
    determine the elapsed time during the animation (see "startTest", "stop" and
    "movingObject" methods). Also changed the DecimalFormat to NumberFormat and set the
    "maximumFractionDigits" to "2" so it will truncate the fraction to two digits (more simple
    than before). Made arrangements for the ShapeMovingPanel class to update the
    "timerJTextField" during the animation (RT.updateTime method).
    The MouseMotionListener is causing the animation to appear jerky and uneven. The
    "mouseMoved" method is very busy while the mouse is moving. You might consider recording
    the "mousePressed" events instead of the "mouseMoved" events, ie, the events where the user
    is attempting to click inside the moving shape. It would allow the app to be more
    responsive and might eliminate the uneven motion of the animating shape.
