Oracle 11g R2 - AWR Section UnOptimized Read Reqs / Optimized Read Reqs

Hello guys,
using Oracle 11g R2 more and more i have checked out the new AWR and its sections.
I have found some section lke this
SQL ordered by Physical Reads (UnOptimized)DB/Inst: SID/sid  Snaps: 20296-202
-> UnOptimized Read Reqs = Physical Read Reqts - Optimized Read Reqs
-> %Opt   - Optimized Reads as percentage of SQL Read Requests
-> %Total - UnOptimized Read Reqs as a percentage of Total UnOptimized Read Reqs
-> Total Physical Read Requests:         151,508
-> Captured SQL account for   25.3% of Total
-> Total UnOptimized Read Requests:         151,508
-> Captured SQL account for   25.3% of Total
-> Total Optimized Read Requests:               1
-> Captured SQL account for    0.0% of TotalWhat the heck is "Optimized Read Reqs" and "UnOptimized Read Reqs"? These terms are used very often right now in AWR of Oracle 11g R2.
Does anyone know what this term means and how it is defined? Don't find any information on web and documentation.
Thanks guys!

Hello,
If my guess is close than "Buffer Hit" (Instance Efficiency Percentages) could be as low as 0% from this report.No it isn't ... check it here:
Instance Efficiency Percentages (Target 100%)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
            Buffer Nowait %:   99.96       Redo NoWait %:  100.00
            Buffer  Hit   %:   99.50    In-memory Sort %:  100.00
            Library Hit   %:   99.09        Soft Parse %:   89.55
         Execute to Parse %:   95.93         Latch Hit %:   98.93
Parse CPU to Parse Elapsd %:   68.68     % Non-Parse CPU:   98.81Sometimes i wonder why oracle introduces such new terms / measurements without documenting it.

  • Oracle 11g table compression feature

    Is anybody using Oracle 11g's compression feature in production? I read a whitepaper on this and also read some forums/threads on this topic and so far I haven't read anything negative yet, that doesn't meant that there isn't anything that could have an adverse affect. I wanted to check with you guys out there to see if anyone is really using is this feature in production and see if there are any affects on the performance or any disadvantages of using this compression feature. I have tested this on one my major tablespace and I did see a big difference in the reduce size on the tablespace but I am still hesitated to put this into production. I would like to hear from you guys to see what you guys think?

    I have tested this on one my major tablespace and I did see a big difference in the reduce size on the tablespace but I am still hesitated to put this into production.Nothing better than testing the solution before you can put into real.

  • Oracle 11G - Oracle AWR export import Query Statistics.

    I have Oracle 11G, i have seen the sql statements through Historical AWR option from Top Activites in performance tab. Can i export all AWR query statistics from production machine so that i can analyze all logs after importing it.
    How can i know all statistical sql ( information ) and performace of production machine ?
    any help ?

    Hello,
    have you checked the DBA_HIST* objects to see what / how was imported?
    If the awr export dosn't get the contents of the rolling buffer, then you won't see any session statistics that are only there. If you want to get the contents of the rolling buffer you have to dump the contents of it with :
    oradebug setmypid
    oradebug dump ashdump 10
    and load it into your "test" database.
    But before doing this I suggest you read the related metalink documentation if any!!!

  • Oracle 11G - Oracle AWR query execution time in report

    I have used AWR tool of oracle 11G. I have exported query historical statistics of production databaser using awrextr.sql and then load the exported dump file using awrload.sql script.
    Then i used awrrpti.sql and awrsqrpi.sql for generating report of sql queries. Every thing is working fine and generated reports are also very helpful, but report does not show the exact time when the query was executed. How can i get the actual time when the query was executed ?
    any help please ?

    If you would have consulted the Oracle Reference Manual to get the view descriptions, you should have your question is a rhetorical one with the answer NO.
    This is because every statement can be executed one or more times, and Oracle would need to keep track of all individual executions.
    I do agree most 'applications' do not use bind variables, and consequently only have unique statements, but Oracle didn't take that into account, and rightly so.

  • Steps to generate AWR report from Oracle 11g OEM

    I have gone through online documentation for generating an AWR report from Oracle 11g OEM but the documentation is more focused on generating the AWR report manually. I would request if there is a link or documentation to go through for generating AWR report from Oracle 11g enterprise manager.
    I hope my question is clear.
    Please revert with the reply to my query.

  • Parse times in Oracle 11G

    Has anyone else experienced extremely long parse times for Oracle 11G versus 10G? We are experiencing at least a 10 times increase in the parsing of our SQL statements. This is causing our customers to complain when running reports which contain several SQL statements that aren't in the SGA due to the infrequent use. I have opened a Service Request and development stated that this is to be expected with Oracle 11G due to the new optimizer features. I have tried to disable the features by settting the optimizer version to anything but 11G and no setting has helped. To make thing even worse, this increased parse time is on a new server that should be 2.5 times faster than the server that is running the 10G database. I do get at least a 2.5 times increase, larger if I/O intensive, in almost every other aspect of the database except for the parse times.

    user5999814 wrote:
    I wondered what the resolution was to this issue. We currently experiencing this will our Oracle 11.1.0.7 database with a small but important set of queries and it seems to be getting worse. We first noticed it with a query that went from taking 3.5 seconds to 7 seconds. A SQLTrace / TKProf revealed that 99% of the time was being spent during the parsing. A second similar query that brings in more data is taking around 1.5 minutes to parse then only a few seconds to actually execute. These are queries that are part of on online web transaction so this is not acceptable. We are able to replicate the behavior in multiple database instances.As a starting point it would be interesting to see the tkprof output from :
    alter session set events '10046 trace name context forever, level 8';
    +your select statement+
    exitWhen posting the output, use the "code" tags (see below) to make the output readable.

    To post code, statspack/AWR report, execution plans or trace files, start and end the section with the tag {noformat}{noformat} (lowercase, curly brackets, no spaces) so that the text appears in fixed format.

  • How to uninstall Oracle 11g Database Options?

    I've come across a problem. A company that developed an application, installed Oracle 11g EE.
    I guess they would use all default options. Some of them are licensed separately, and are not used. So I need to uninstall them.
    For example, I see that it is installed "Advanced Compression". I tried to uninstall it from the Universal Installer, but there isn't an option.

    Good news for my company.
    There has never been used "Advanced Compression" and for everything else we are licensed.

  • Installation problem oracle 11g R2 on oracle enterprise linux 5 update 5

    hello support,
    i've installation problems with oracle 11g R2 on oracle enterprise linux 5 update 5. In the section "ORACLE Net-Konfigurationsassisten" the failure "[INS-20802] Oracle NET-Konfigurationsassistent not success". What's wrong? I've followed the instructions on http://www.oracle.com/technology/pub/articles/smiley-11gr1-install.html
    I've heard the problem can occur with problems in /etc/hosts? My /etc/hosts is configured:
    # Do not remove the following line, or various programs
    # that require network functionality will fail.
    127.0.0.1          oracle localhost.localdomain localhost
    ::1          localhost6.localdomain6 localhost6
    is this ok? what can I do to bring the database-installation to success?
    Thank's for help ;-)

  • Oracle 11g R2 Install on Windows 7 64 bit setup.exe does not work.

    Hi
    I am trying to install Oracle 11g R2 on my Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit. When I execute setup.exe as Administrator the command window flashes and exits. I could not even see what the message is. Also tried command prompt. Can anyone help me resolve this issue?
    Appreciate your support.

    Finally the install is successful.Congratulations.
    And thank you for posting your solution. The security issue was quite a surprise to me as well, although it ties into a PC World article I read today.
    To continue, please make sure you have a static IP address. If your system uses DHCP, that may mean setting up Loopback Adapter, configuring a static IP address other than 127.0.0.1 for that (for example you can use 192.168.123.101), and updating C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts. (note - no 3 char 'type on the hosts file) to include an entry like '192.168.123.101 myhost.example.com myhost', and perhaps setting your ORACLE_HOSTNAME variable. This is all described well in the Install documentaiton at http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/install.112/e10843/reqs.htm#BABIAEEC

    Installation Guides should be clear enough, if read. Also read Release Notes for additional support/unsupport info.

  • Installing Oracle 11g on windows XP., after installation enterprize manager

    Hello All,
    kindly note that i am new to oracle and having a issue that i cant seem to figure out and hoping a experienced person can answer this.
    i download oracle 11g for windows 32 bit on my laptop, go through the installation and use the option to crate a starter database.
    meet all the pre- req and every thing goes smooth. database gets created, use sqlplus to connect ot the database also open the enterprise manager and and also see the GUI after logging in.
    now what happens it works fine for a day or some times two and when i reboot the machine and go back and try to open the EM its gives me the error cant find the URL. i have tried it few times and it happens every time. i don't know what i am doing it wrong but for some reason the EM manager doesn't work . i can still log on the database using the sqlplus.
    must thing must get changed ( may be the IP address or env some how). i really appreciate if some one can guide me in the right path.
    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for the response,
    well the laptop i am using is a work computer , i installed oracle so i can practice on it.. i Think the IP changes after a while. is that the reason?.. how can i remedy it do my EM works all the time?
    Please advice.

  • How to validate XML Digital Signature with XML DB (o PL/SQL) in Oracle 11g

    Hi,
    Do you know if there is possibility to validate XML Digital Signature using XML DB (or PL/SQL) in Oracle 11g?
    Let say I have CLOB/XMLType containing Digitally Signed XML, and I want to validate, that thsi is proper signature. I also have public key of signer (I could store it in CLOB or file or Oracle wallet).
    Is it possible to do?
    If there is need to install additional component - then which one?
    Regards,
    Paweł

    Hi,
    this is what i got from someone...
    but the links he gave are not opening up...
    u have to place a picture there and have to load the digital signatures as Jpegs on to the server to OA top
    and have to refer them in the XML for dynamically get the signature on the reports
    when u select the properties of the picture placed in the XML template,
    there will be one tab with "URL"... in that u have to give the path for that jpegs
    Pls refer the following documents for enabling digital signature on pdf documents.
    http://iasdocs.us.oracle.com/iasdl/bi_ee/doc/bi.1013/e12187/T421739T481159.htm#5013638    (refer section 'Adding or Designating a Field for Digital Signature'
    http://iasdocs.us.oracle.com/iasdl/bi_ee/doc/bi.1013/e12188/T421739T475591.htm#5013688
    (Implementing a Digital Signature
    Is the BI Publisher installed on your instance of version 10.1.3.4 or higher?
    Pls procure a digital signature as soon as possible. The process can take time. OR we could use any certificate that you already might have OR generate a certificate using Oracle Certificate Authority for demo.

  • Migration using data pump Oracle 10g - Oracle 11g

    HI all,
    1)
    Right now I`m using Oracle 11g. I have a plan to import data from Oracle 10g. I would like to know if its possible to import data which was exported by datapump on Oracle 10g ?
    Should I convert somehow expdp output from Oracle 10g to Oracle 11g format ?
    2)
    Next question is. If I will use expdp to create dump of complete database. May I use *.dmp to import selected users ? Or only full database can be restored ?

    Yes, you can import 10g dump into an 11g database.
    Maybe you should take some time and read the section on datapump in the fine Oracle® [Database Utilities|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/server.111/b28319/dp_import.htm#i1007324] manual.

  • Xpath difference between Oracle 10g and Oracle 11g

    All,
    I'm working on moving our existing stored functions from Oracle 10g (10.2.0.4.0) to Oracle 11g (11.2.0.1.0) and so far, everything has worked just fine on Oracle 11g...execpt for one xpath statement.
    The statement below works fine in Oracle 10g (10.2.0.4.0):
    extractValue(inv_dtl_img, '/service//ground/sortKeyCode') AS "srt_key_cd",
    Please note: I need to use the double slash "//" in order to ignore the two different elements in the schema.
    However, in Oracle 11g (11.2.0.1.0), when this statement is executed in the stored function, I get this:
    ERROR at line 1:
    ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected - got -
    The extractValue command is pulling data out of an XMLType column, and the corresponding XML schema looks like:
    <service>
    <trans>
    <ground>
    <sortKeyCode>
    </sortKeyCode>
    </ground>
    </trans>
    <nontrans>
    <ground minOccurs=0>
    <sortKeyCode>
    </sortKeyCode>
    </ground>
    </nontrans>
    </service>
    Please note: In the XML message, the "trans" and "nontrans" elements are exclusive, so both will never be populated at the same time. A typical XML message would look like this:
    <service><trans><ground><sortKeyCode>3</sortKeyCode></ground></trans></service>
    or this:
    <service><nontrans><ground><sortKeyCode>5</sortKeyCode></ground></nontrans></service>
    In the schema, the sortKeyCode has been defined in both places as "string maxlen=3", so the datatype of that element is exactly the same in both the "trans" and "nontrans" sections of the schema. The only difference in the schema (outside of the trans and nontrans tags) is the fact that the second "ground" tag is defined with a "minOccurs=0". Could Oracle 11g be treating the schema differently than Oracle 10g, resulting in the error?
    Any thoughts would be appreciated.

    The only way to get an quick answer to that one is to file a service request with Oracle support. It could be a bug or a correct change regarding W3C behavior. Despite this, you moving to 11.2, the extract/extractvalue etc propriety Oracle solutions are deprecated from 11.2 and onwards. The more sensible way to move forward, although, I know more work intensive, is to apply the XQuery alternatives like xmlexist, xquery or xmltable functions.
    Moving to EXTRACT is a bad idea, because this alway will be treated as an XML fragment. If you unlucky then Oracle will deal with this in memory via DOM (the standard solution regarding XML parsing if every smart thing within Oracle can not be applied) and this will result in a performance downgrade due to high CPU and Memory consumption/overhead...
    Your pick...
