Find physical reads and logical reads ?

Hi,
how will find out physical reads and logical reads ?

Well I would suggest you read the report from statspack/awr.They as suggested by Amit,have a load profile section.That would be helpful for you in finding the details of this thing. Also which version you are? If you are in 10g than the EM is able to give you a compare period report where you can compare 2 different days's periods information and can check which particular part has changed.
In addition to this , look for the information of the metrics in the documentation.As the physical read and logical reads are statistics which are happening in the system.So from 10g onwards, oracle is keeping a track in the deflectionin the statistics. So if you see that than it willbe easy for you to manage and monitor it.
I shall try to findthe name of some views related to it and post.
Aman....

AWR's buffer cache reads and logical reads

In AWR report under "Segments by Logical Reads" section, there is a total logical reads, I assume it is in unit of block. Under "IOStat by Function summary" section, it has buffer cache reads in unit of bytes. Shouldn't the number of logical reads x 8k (if the block size is 8k) = the number of buffer cache reads?
They are not equal, not even close, does anybody know why? Thanks

Hi,
buffer gets = number of times a block was requested from buffer cache. A buffer get always request in a logical read. Depending on whether or not a copy of the block is available in the buffer cache, a logical read may or may not involve a physical read. So "buffer gets" and "logical reads" are basically synonyms and are often used interchangeably.
Oracle doesn't have a special "undo buffer". Undo blocks are stored in rollback segments in UNDO tablespace, and are managed in the same way data blocks are (they're even protected by redo). If a consistent get requires reading from UNDO tablespace, then statistics counters will show that, i.e. there will be one more consistent get in your autotrace.
For more information and some examples, see a thread at askTom:

Buffer gets and logical reads

Hello !
Does the counter of event buffer gets include the logical reads ?
Does the mertic buffer gets include the event of reading from undo buffer ?
Thanks and regards,

What are advantage and disadvantage for Physical Standy and Logical Standby

HI,
What are advantage and disadvantage for Physical Standy and Logical Standby configuration?
Thanks
Ken

Logical standby database
The key advantage for logical standby databases is that they're opened read/write, even while they're in
applied mode. That is, they can be used to generate reports and the like. It is indeed a fully functional
database. Also, additional indexes, materialized views and so on can be created.
However (this being a disadvantage) not all datatypes are supported.
Oracle (or more exactly the log apply services) uses the primary database's redo log, transforms them into
SQL statements and replays them on the logical standby database.
Physical standby database
A physical standby database is a byte for byte exact copy of the primary database. This also means that
rowids stay the same in a physical standby database environment.
Oracle (or more exactly the log apply services) uses the primary database's redo log to recover the
physical database.
A physical standby database might be opened read only; however, the received logs are in this case not
applied. When the logs are applied, the database is not accessible (it is then in a managed recovery state).

Physical directory and logical directory

What is the difference between physical directory and logical directory in BPEL

Hi,
Physical : We need to Specify the complete directory.
Example: <Drive name>:\Temp\data
Logical: We need to specify a logical name for directory. It is defined as a property in the 'bpel.xml' file.
Example: if you specify 'READ' as the logical name, the following property is added to the bpel.xml file: <property name="READ"></property>
After this, u must have define the directory path.
For example, <Drive name>:\Temp\data for the file adapter: <property name="MyDirectory"><Drive name>:\Temp\data </property>
cheers,

Difference between physical join and logical join

Hi Gurus,
Can anyone tell me what is the difference between physical join and logical join
Thanks,
Chandra

Hi,
A physical join is at the physical layer and defines the join between two physical tables. Logical joins live at the BMM (logical) layer and define a join between two logical tables.
The important differentiation is that at the BMM layer you do not tell the OBIEE server how to do the join, you just tell it that there is a relationship between these two logical entities. When the server comes to this logical join it will use the information in the physical joins and decides how the two logical tables are joined together.
In BMM you use complex joins to establish which logical tables are joined which another, the OBI EE server will go to the physical level to search the physical join to make the query. You can also use physical joins in the BMM to override the join in the physical layer but only in very specific conditions.
If you also set complex join in the physical layer OBI EE won't be able to construct the physical query.
Hope this answers your question.
Award points if helpful.
Thanks,
-Amith.

What is the difference of public-read and public-read protected

I have noticed that the access of some variables in API document is public-read protected. I tried the following code. They seem all the same.
class FatherClass{
public-read var a;
public-read protected var b;
init{
    a=1;
    println(a);
    b=1;
    println(b);
class SubClass extends FatherClass{
    init{
        a=4;
        println(a);
        b=4;
        println(b);
var subClass=SubClass{};

As you see in my code, subclass can write the variable with either public-read and public-read protected. What write access do the public-read protected widen? That's because your subclass is in the same script as the variable. Move the subclass to a separate script and it would not be able to write when the access is public-read.
"public-read" = any code can read, code in the same script can write.
"public-read protected" = any code can read, code in the same script, in the same package or in a subclass can write.

Nonrepeatable Reads and Phantom Reads

Guys, I am very confuse about the definitions of Nonrepeatable Reads and Phantom Reads when I read the BEA Documentaion in http://e-docs.bea.com/workshop/docs81/doc/en/wls/guide/advanced/EJBsAndTransactions.html
The definition was queit confusing to me because they seems to describe the same thing, but it is obviously not the same thing. The problem is to see the difference among then.
What is that difference? Could I have an practical example of that difference?
Thanks everyone

Non-Repeatable reads: When a row is updated in database. 2 reads may not return same data.
Phantom reads is where a new row is inserted into the database, hence the 2 selects may not return same set of data.
Chekc the link below for example queies. hope it helps.

Difference between db file sequential read and scattered read

Hi,
Oracle Version : 10.2.0.1
Operating system: Linux
Can any one please help me what is the difference between db file sequential read and scattered read or please give any best related links .
Thanks & Regards,
Poorna Prasad.

>
A sequential read is a single-block read. Single block I/Os are usually the result of using indexes.
A db file scattered read issues a scattered read to read the data into multiple discontinuous memory locations. A scattered read is usually a multiblock read. It can occur for a fast full scan (of an index) in addition to a full table scan.

Have downloaded both Adobe reader and PDF reader, but when I attempt to open a pdf from a site on safari, it starts to load, then disappears. Any way to fix this?

Have downloaded both Adobe reader and PDF reader, but when I attempt to open a pdf from a site on safari, it starts to load, then disappears. Any way to fix this?

Try quitting the PDF apps and Safari like I describe below. Then reset the iPad. After it starts try again.
Double click the Home button to show the screen with running and recently used apps. Each app icon will have a sample page above it. Flick up on the page (not the app icon) and the page will fly away and the app icon will disappear. This quits that app. Then reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

Differnce between byte[] reading and int[] reading

While reading information from file using fileInputStream ....
Is there any differnce between byte[] reading and int[] reading ?

Well, in as much as you can do the former and not the latter.
FileInputStream just reads blocks of bytes. If you want to read more sophisticated element you need to wrap in in a DataInputStream or a Reader.

Physical reads, writes and logical reads,writes

hi there,
is there any way to find the physical reads and writes, logical reads and writes
other than statspack report?

It depends which version of Oracle are you using.
If you are using 10g, you can get very comprehensive information from the dictionary views.
If you are on <=9i, then, use, v$sysstat and look for 'physical reads', 'logical reads'.
The values dervied from v$sysstat are cummulative values. i.e. values counted since the instance started.

Understanding Statistics io and Logical reads - is logical reads information correct

Hi,
This question arises during a performance test - on SQL Server 2012 with SP2.
In the following example, table has only column and that is of data type INT.
When inserted 592 records of data type INT it is doing only 1 logical read but as soon another record is inserted SP is reporting 2 logical reads. Why?
In the code, i have highlighted difference between
statistics io - logical reads and sys.dm_exec_procedure_stats.total_logical_reads
to understand the difference between these 2 information.
set nocount on
GO
create table dbo.test_storage_and_logical_reads
employee_number int --primary key
GO
go
CREATE procedure dbo.test_sp_logical_reads
as
begin
select
employee_number
from dbo.test_storage_and_logical_reads
order by employee_number desc
end
go
insert into dbo.test_storage_and_logical_reads
(employee_number)
VALUES (1)
GO 592
EXEC sp_spaceused 'dbo.test_storage_and_logical_reads'
--set statistics io on
--GO
exec dbo.test_sp_logical_reads
GO
----Table 'test_storage_and_logical_reads'. Scan count 1, logical reads 1, physical reads 0, read-ahead reads 0, lob logical reads 0, lob physical reads 0, lob read-ahead reads 0.
---- But sys.dm_exec_procedure_stats.total_logical_reads is reporting 3 instead.
truncate table dbo.test_storage_and_logical_reads
GO
insert into dbo.test_storage_and_logical_reads
(employee_number)
VALUES (1)
GO 593
EXEC sp_spaceused 'dbo.test_storage_and_logical_reads'
exec dbo.test_sp_logical_reads
GO
----Table 'test_storage_and_logical_reads'. Scan count 1, logical reads 2, physical reads 0, read-ahead reads 0, lob logical reads 0, lob physical reads 0, lob read-ahead reads 0.
---- But sys.dm_exec_procedure_stats.total_logical_reads is reporting 4 instead.
--drop procedure dbo.test_sp_logical_reads
--drop table dbo.test_storage_and_logical_reads
GO
NB: I do understand the logical and physical reads. Thanks.

Hi.
I still need to test the scenario but if you read definition of this DMV it says 'Returns aggregate performance statistics for cached stored procedures' so I guess, I am not sure 3 can be due to this aggregated output given by this DMV. Will test it
on SS 2012 SP2 will get back to you.

Hi Shanky / Sean Gallardy
i think Sean Gallardy created the "test_sp_logical_reads" table in master DB, i have that same issue when i accidentiatly created the table "test_sp_logical_reads" in master, but when i create the same table in USER DB like "sample1"
it only allocate 1 page for 592,
hi Asam,
Let me narrow down the your question, if my understanding is correct ...
<<When you have the free space in a page of a Heap, why SQL Server is assigning New page for a New Record>>
Answer is in PFS bytes
The answer is that PFS bytes are not fully reset until the page is reallocated. On deallocation, the only bit in the PFS byte that's changed is the allocation status bit - this makes it very easy to rollback a deallocation
--Before inserting the 593 record plese execute the below query
--Note Replace "database1" with your DBName
DBCC TRACEON (3604);
DBCC IND ('database1', 'test_storage_and_logical_reads', 1);
--Result
PageFID PagePID IAMFID IAMPID ObjectID IndexID PartitionNumber PartitionID iam_chain_type PageType IndexLevel NextPageFID NextPagePID PrevPageFID PrevPagePID
1 2770 NULL NULL 517576882 0 1 72057594039828480 In-row data 10 NULL 0 0 0 0
1 2769 1 2770 517576882 0 1 72057594039828480 In-row data 1 0 0 0 0 0
--your intrested in the second record(page)
DBCC PAGE ('database1', 1, 2769,3) WITH TABLERESULTS;
--you can find 38th row as
--PFS (1:1) = 0x64 MIXED_EXT ALLOCATED 100_PCT_FULL
--which means your page is full
--you can try inserting 300 rows it will show you PFS (1:1) = 0x61 MIXED_EXT ALLOCATED 50_PCT_FULL
please refer in the below link
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/sqlserverstorageengine/archive/2006/07/08/under-the-covers-gam-sgam-and-pfs-pages.aspx
http://aboutsqlserver.com/2013/12/17/sql-server-storage-engine-heap-tables/
"This page has a PFS byte value of 0x04 - how can it be full when its not allocated?"
The answer is that PFS bytes are not fully reset until the page is reallocated. On deallocation, the only bit in the PFS byte that's changed is the allocation status bit - this makes it very easy to rollback a deallocation.
Here's an example. Using a database with a simple table with one row.
A DBCC PAGE of the IAM page includes:
PFS (1:1) = 0x70 IAM_PG MIXED_EXT ALLOCATED 0_PCT_FULL
If I run the following:
BEGIN
TRANSACTION
DROP
TABLE T1
GO
And then do the DBCC PAGE again, the output now includes:
PFS (1:1) = 0x30 IAM_PG MIXED_EXT 0_PCT_FULL
And if I rollback then transaction, the DBCC PAGE output reverts to:
PFS (1:1) = 0x70 IAM_PG MIXED_EXT ALLOCATED 0_PCT_FULL
