Bad Query Performance in Oracle Text
Hello everyone, I have the following problem:
I have a table, TABLE_A from now on, a table of more or less 1,000.000 rows, with a CONTEXT index, using FILE_DATASTORE, CTXSYS.DEFAULT_STORAGE, CTXSYS.NULL_FILTER, CTXSYS.BASIC_LEXER and querying the index in the following way:
SELECT /*+FIRST_ROWS*/ A.ID, B.ID2, SCORE(1) FROM TABLE_A A, TABLE_B WHERE A.ID = B.ID AND CONTAINS(A.PATH, '<SOME KW>', 1) > 0 ORDER BY SCORE(1) DESC
where TABLE_B has another 1,000.000 rows.
The problem is that the query response time is much higher after some time of inactivity regarding those tables. How can I avoid this behavior?. The fact is that those inactivity times (not more than 20min) are core to my application, so I always get long long response times for my queries.
Is there any cache or cache time parameter that affects this behavior? I have checked the Oracle Text documentation without finding anything about that...
More data: I am using Oracle 9.2.0.1, but I have tested with the latest patches an the behavior is the same...
Thank you very much in advance.
Pablo,
This appears to be a generic database or OS issue, not a Text specific issue. It really depends on what your application is doing.
If your application is doing some other database activity such as queries or DMLs on other non-text tables, chances are Oracle Text related data blocks are being aged out of cache. You can either increase the db_cache_size init
parmater or try to keep the text tables and index tables blocks in cache using ALTER TABLE commands.
If your app is doing NON-database activity, then chances are your application is taking up much of the machine's physical memory such that OS is swapping ORACLE out of the memory. In which case, you may want to consider to add more memory to the machine or have ORACLE run on a separate machine by itself.

Bad query performance - how to analyze it?
Hi all,
since 8 weeks we locate a bad query performance (round about 30% worse than before) in our BW system. At the moment we use a BIA on revision 49 with 4 blades (16GB).
I have already read note 1318214 and analyzed that the most time is spend on the virtual provider(over 80%!).
I´ve seen that a lot of time is spend on the "Datamanager":
For example: It takes 0,76s to select 3.5million items in the relative provider and 78s!!! to select 0 items in the virtual provider.
information from RSDDSTATTREXSERV:
RFC Server BIA client BIA Kernel ABAP RFC
497 464 450 619
So it seems to be a problem an the BW site, what can we do to improve the performance or analyse the query performance better.
Best Regards,
JensHi Jens,
A few checks you may consider doing.
BIA Availability : Check the BI connection with BIA.
Check if you need to rebuild BIA indices again. SAP recommends to do this often, to repair the degenerate indices or delete the indice which are not referenced any more.(eg data in the cube was compressed/deleted and the indices are no more needed.)
Check the if BIA reorganization is required - This is done to see the indices are evenly distribueded areoss the BIA Landscape.
Try to find from BI Admin if major administration work was done within these 8 weeks.eg: Copy cube, dimension restructureing, copying data to some copy cube, archiving etc.
You can use the BIA monitor to peform checks/monitor alerts from BIA servers
[ BIA monitor|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/43/7719d270d81a6ee10000000a11466f/content.htm]
This link would tell you on the overall status of the BIA and any actions if required.
Also it has sublinks to other important transaction of BIA monitoring and maintainnance.
To go to BIA monitor : RSA!---> BIA monitor icon.
Is your virtual provider reading data from R/3 or BW.
Generally virtual providers are used to read data from other systems , so it woulfd not have an indices in BIA, I believe if this is the case. except for some applications like BCS wher eyou may be reading data from BW itself.
Hope this helps

Hi,
I'm tasked to help design an application that will have Oracle Text powering the searching logic. The application will have millions of records (in the 30 million to 50 million range), but there's a restriction that 95% of all searches must be able to complete in 1 second or less (!)
So, my question is, is it possible for Oracle Text to meet this criteria? Assuming we have the best hardware, etc. Or should I look for another solution/approach?
Regards,
RoyHi Roy,
It's pretty hard to give a yes/no answer based on the limited information. I will say that Oracle's method of indexing is fairly standard (dictionary/postings list) so you are not likely to find a better solution if your records are stored in Oracle. The Oracle Text advantage - tight integration with the database already. You have storage and query optimization features of Oracle when using Oracle Text. < 1 sec response time is pretty tight for any search, but I don't think you'd have any better chance at hitting it with another solution.
Thanks,

Hi Experts,
I have a Query which was built on a multiprovider,Which has a slow preformance.
I think the main problem comes from selecting to many records from
I think it selects 1,1 million rows to display about 500 rows in the result.
Another point could be that the complicated restricted and calculated keyfigures, especially might spend a lot of time in the OLAP processor.
Here are the Statistics of the Query.
OLAP Initialization : 3,186906
Wait Time, User : 56,971169
OLAP: Settings 0,983193
Read Cache 0,015642
Delete Cache 0,019030
Write Cache 0,087655
Data Manager 462,039167
OLAP: Data Selection 0,671566
OLAP: Data Transfer 1,257884.
ST03 Stat:
%OLAP :22,74
%DB :77,18
OLAP Time :29,2
DBTime :99,1
It seems that the maximum time is consuming in the Database
Any suggestion to speed up this Query response time would be great.
Thanks in advance.

Slow query performance in Oracle 10.2.0.3
Hi,
We have Oracle 10.2.0.3 installed on RHEL 5(64 bit).We have two queries out of which one is a query using select while other query is using a insert.First we executed insert query which inserts 10000 rows in a table and then select query on this table.This works fine in one thread.But when we do samething in 10 threads, at that time INSERT is fine but select is taking very long time for 10 threads.Any bug related to parallel execution of queries for SELECT in 10.2.0.3?Any suggestion??
Thanks in advance.

Poor performance using Oracle Text
We are currently using wildcard queries and we have setup substring or prefix index which is recommended in Oracle's documentation in order to improve performance but we have not seen any improvements. Does anyone have any other recommendations?

Your sample query is a good example of the benefits and costs of 'mixed' queries, and the challenges of mixed query performance. Oracle 11g has some very helpful new features (search for SDATA) that can really improve performance. (Specifically, it looks like your query does some useful date-range bounding. You need to get that into the FT index).
In the end, it's not going to be easy to look at your reasonably complex query, understand the data and relationships, and wave the magic wand to make the thing go fast. -
Weblogic 8.1.6 and Oracle 9.2.0.8 - query performance
Folks,
We are upgrading WebLogic from 8.1.5 to 8.1.6 and Oracle from 9.2.0.6 to 9.2.0.8. We use the Oracle thin client driver for 9.2.0.8 to connect from the application to Oracle.
When we use the following combination of the stack we see SQL query performance degradation: -
Oracle 9.2.0.8 database, Oracle 9.2.0.8 driver, WL 8.1.6
Oracle 9.2.0.8 database, Oracle 9.2.0.1 driver, WL 8.1.6
We do not see the degradation in case of the following: -
Oracle 9.2.0.8 database, Oracle 9.2.0.1 driver, WL 8.1.5
Oracle 9.2.0.6 database, Oracle 9.2.0.1 driver, WL 8.1.5
This shows that the problem could be with the WL 8.1.6 version and I was wondering if any of you have faced this before? The query retrieves a set of data from Oracle none of which contain the AsciiStream data type, which is noted as a problem in WL 8.1.6, but that too, only for WL JDBC drivers.
Any ideas appreciated.Folks,

Poor query performance when joining CONTAINS to another table
We just recently began evaluating Oracle Text for a search solution. We need to be able to search a table that can have over 20+ million rows. Each user may only have visibility to a tiny fraction of those rows. The goal is to have a single Oracle Text index that represents all of the searchable columns in the table (multi column datastore) and provide a score for each search result so that we can sort the search results in descending order by score. What we're seeing is that query performance from TOAD is extremely fast when we write a simple CONTAINS query against the Oracle Text indexed table. However, when we attempt to first reduce the rows the CONTAINS query needs to search by using a WITH we find that the query performance degrades significantly.
For example, we can find all the records a user has access to from our base table by the following query:
SELECT d.duns_loc
FROM duns d
JOIN primary_contact pc
ON d.duns_loc = pc.duns_loc
AND pc.emp_id = :employeeID;
This query can execute in <100 ms. In the working example, this query returns around 1200 rows of the primary key duns_loc.
Our search query looks like this:
SELECT score(1), d.*
FROM duns d
WHERE CONTAINS(TEXT_KEY, :search,1) > 0
ORDER BY score(1) DESC;
The :search value in this example will be 'highway'. The query can return 246k rows in around 2 seconds.
2 seconds is good, but we should be able to have a much faster response if the search query did not have to search the entire table, right? Since each user can only "view" records they are assigned to we reckon that if the search operation only had to scan a tiny tiny percent of the TEXT index we should see faster (and more relevant) results. If we now write the following query:
WITH subset
AS
(SELECT d.duns_loc
FROM duns d
JOIN primary_contact pc
ON d.duns_loc = pc.duns_loc
AND pc.emp_id = :employeeID
SELECT score(1), d.*
FROM duns d
JOIN subset s
ON d.duns_loc = s.duns_loc
WHERE CONTAINS(TEXT_KEY, :search,1) > 0
ORDER BY score(1) DESC;
For reasons we have not been able to identify this query actually takes longer to execute than the sum of the durations of the contributing parts. This query takes over 6 seconds to run. We nor our DBA can seem to figure out why this query performs worse than a wide open search. The wide open search is not ideal as the query would end up returning records to the user they don't have access to view.
Has anyone ever ran into something like this? Any suggestions on what to look at or where to go? If anyone would like more information to help in diagnosis than let me know and i'll be happy to produce it here.
Thanks!!Sometimes it can be good to separate the tables into separate sub-query factoring (with) clauses or inline views in the from clause or an in clause as a where condition. Although there are some differences, using a sub-query factoring (with) clause is similar to using an inline view in the from clause. However, you should avoid duplication. You should not have the same table in two different places, as in your original query. You should have indexes on any columns that the tables are joined on, your statistics should be current, and your domain index should have regular synchronization, optimization, and periodically rebuild or drop and recreate to keep it performing with maximum efficiency. The following demonstration uses a composite domain index (cdi) with filter by, as suggested by Roger, then shows the explained plans for your original query, and various others. Your original query has nested loops. All of the others have the same plan without the nested loops. You could also add index hints.

Oracle text Improve perfomance
What is the best way to improve performance in Oracle text?
I retrieve some data in a csv file, i verify the data in a table (CUSTOMER) to
know if must make a INSERT or no.
It make 10 seconds to process only two rows.
How can i improve performance?What are you exactly doing? Do you have an Oracle Text index on that table, or are you just manipulating text in the table?
Give us the code what you are doing and we can help you further.

Oracle text performance with context search indexes
Search performance using context index.
We are intending to move our search engine to a new one based on Oracle Text, but we are meeting some
bad performance issues when using search.
Our application allows the user to search stored documents by name, object identifier and annotations(formerly set on objects).
For example, suppose I want to find a document named ImportSax2.c: according to user set parameters, our search engine format the following
search queries :
1) If the user explicitely ask for a search by document name, the query is the following one =>
select objid FROM ADSOBJ WHERE CONTAINS( OBJFIELDURL , 'ImportSax2.c WITHIN objname' , 1 ) > 0;
2) If the user don't specify any extra parameters, the query is the following one =>
select objid FROM ADSOBJ WHERE CONTAINS( OBJFIELDURL , 'ImportSax2.c' , 1 ) > 0;
Oracle text only need around 7 seconds to answer the second query, whereas it need around 50 seconds to give an answer for the first query.
Here is a part of the sql script used for creating the Oracle Text index on the column OBJFIELDURL
(this column stores a path to an xml file containing properties that have to be indexed for each object) :
begin

Oracle created a table named DR$ADSOBJ_XOBJFIELDURL$I which now contains around 25 millions records.
ADSOBJ is the table contaings information for our documents,OBJFIELDURL is the field that contains the path to the xml file containing
data to index. That file looks like this :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<fields>
<OBJNAME><![CDATA[NomLnk_177527o.jpgp]]></OBJNAME>
<OBJREM><![CDATA[Z_CARACT_141]]></OBJREM>

Can someone tell me how I can make that kind of request
"select objid FROM ADSOBJ WHERE CONTAINS( OBJFIELDURL , 'ImportSax2.c WITHIN objname' , 1 ) > 0;"
run faster ?Below are the execution plan for both the 2 requests :

Performance issues and options to reduce load with Oracle text implementation
Hi Experts,
My database on Oracle 11.2.0.2 on Linux. We have Oracle Text implemented for fuzzy search. Our oracle text indexes are defined as sync on commit as we can not afford to have stale data. Now our application does literally thousands of inserts/updates/deletes to those columns where we have these Oracle text indexes defined. As a result, we are seeing a lot of performance impact due to the oracle text sync routines being called on each commit. We are doing the index optimization every night (full optimization every night at 3 am). The oracle text index related internal operations are showing up as top sql in our AWR report and there are concerns that it is causing lot of load on the DB. Since we do the full index optimization only once at night, I am thinking should I change that , and if I do so, will it help us?
For example here are some data from my one day's AWR report:
Elapsed Time (s)
Executions
Elapsed Time per Exec (s)
%Total
%CPU
%IO

213,980

02yb6k216ntqf
begin ctxsys.syncrn(:idxownid,...
Full Text of above top sql:
ddr8uck5s5kp3
begin ctxsys.drvdml.com_sync_index(:idxname, :idxmem, :partname);
end
02yb6k216ntqf
begin ctxsys.syncrn(:idxownid, :idxoname, :idxid, :ixpid, :rtabnm, :flg); end;
Now if I do the full index optimization more often and not just once at night 3 PM, will that mean, the load on DB due to sync on commit will decrease? If yes how often should I optimized and doesn't the optimization itself lead to some load? Can someone suggest?
Thanks,

Oracle Text Query taking too long
When we run a query:
select docid from Tbl1 where contains(doc,'queryterm',1)>0;
on 2 million docs it runs in <2 seconds
When we run an insert into another table based on a search:
insert into Tbl2 (col1,col2) select 10,col2 from Tbl1 where rowid<2000; (10 in the select statement is a constant)
it runs in <2 seconds
Here's the kicker:
insert into Tbl2 (col1,col2) select col1,col2 from Tbl1 where contains(doc,'queryterm',1)>0;
it runs in 60 seconds and produces ~2k rows
Is there any hint that we can use to fix this?
TIA!We've looked hard at the performance notes for Oracle Text, the Application guide and the FAQ on it.
We've dropped the index on the table being inserted, turn off logging and used the Parallel hint on the insert. There is still a bit of a disconnect between insert speed, select speed and both together. The index was built using the parallel option so the queries should be parallel if I understand the performance hints correctly.
