Poorly Performing SQL Queries and AWR

version : 10.2.0.4 on OEL 5.
Snapshot duration is 30 mins. Its long, but sorry that is what is available right now.
I have three queries in my database which are performing pretty slow. I took AWR reports for these queries and they are as follows:
Query 1:

Performing sql queries in java without using java libraries

i wonder whether its possible to perform sql queries beginning from create table to updating queries without using the java sql library.
has anyone written such code.

You could use JNI to talk to a native driver like the Oracle OCI driver. Doing this is either exiting or asking for trouble depending on your attitude to lots of low level bugs.

Generating XML from SQL queries and saving to an xml file?

Hi there,
I was wondering if somebody could help with regards to the following:
Generating XML from SQL queries and saving to a xml file?
We want to have a procedure(PL/SQL) that accepts an order number as an input parameter(the procedure
is accessed by our software on the client machine).
Using this order number we do a couple of SQL queries.
My first question: What would be our best option to convert the result of the
queries to xml?
Second Question: Once the XML has been generated, how do we save that XML to a file?
(The XML file is going to be saved on the file system of the server that
the database is running on.)
Now our procedure will also have a output parameter which returns the filename to us. eg. Order1001.xml
Our software on the client machine will then ftp this XML file(based on the output parameter[filename]) to
the client hard drive.
Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Thanking you,
Francois

If you are using 9iR2 you do not need to do any of this..
You can create an XML as an XMLType using the new SQL/XML operators. You can insert this XML into the XML DB repository using DBMS_XDB.createResource. You can then access the document from the resource. You can also return the XMLType containing the XML directly from the PL/SQL Procedure.

Hi
Here is an example of some code that i am using on Oracle 817.

Poor performance with WebI and BW hierarchy drill-down...

Hi
We are currently implementing a large HR solution with BW as backend
and WebI and Xcelcius as frontend. As part of this we are experiencing
very poor performance when doing drill-down in WebI on a BW hierarchy.
In general we are experiencing ok performance during selection of data
and traditional WebI filtering - however when using the BW hierarchy
for navigation within WebI, response times are significantly increasing.
The general solution setup are as follows:
1) Business Content version of the personnel administration
infoprovider - 0PA_C01. The Infoprovider contains 30.000 records
2) Multiprovider to act as semantic Data Mart layer in BW.
3) Bex Query to act as Data Mart Query and metadata exchange for BOE.
All key figure restrictions and calculations are done in this Data Mart
Query.
4) Traditionel BO OLAP universe 1:1 mapped to Bex Data Mart query. No
calculations etc. are done in the universe.
5) WebI report with limited objects included in the WebI query.
As we are aware that performance is an very subjective issues we have
created several case scenarios with different dataset sizes, various
filter criteria's and modeling techniques in BW.
Furthermore we have tried to apply various traditional BW performance
tuning techniques including aggregates, physical partitioning and pre-
calculation - all without any luck (pre-calculation doesn't seem to
work at all as WebI apparently isn't using the BW OLAP cache).
In general the best result we can get is with a completely stripped WebI report without any variables etc.
and a total dataset of 1000 records transferred to WebI. Even in this scenario we can't get
each navigational step (when using drill-down on Organizational Unit
hierarchy - 0ORGUNIT) to perform faster than minimum 15-20 seconds per.
navigational step.
That is each navigational step takes 15-20 seconds
with only 1000 records in the WebI cache when using drill-down on org.
unit hierachy !!.
Running the same Bex query from Bex Analyzer with a full dataset of
30.000 records on lowest level of detail returns a threshold of 1-2
seconds pr. navigational step thus eliminating that this should be a BW
modeling issue.
As our productive scenario obviously involves a far larger dataset as
well as separate data from CATS and PT infoproviders we are very
worried if we will ever be able to utilize hierarchy drill-down from
WebI ?.
The question is as such if there are any known performance issues
related to the use of BW hierarchy drill-down from WebI and if so are
there any ways to get around them ?.
As an alternative we are currently considering changing our reporting
strategy by creating several higher aggregated reports to avoid
hierarchy navigation at all. However we still need to support specific
division and their need to navigate the WebI dataset without
limitations which makes this issue critical.
Hope that you are able to help.
Thanks in advance
/Frank

Hi Henry, thank you for your suggestions although i´m not agree with you that 20 seconds is pretty good for that navigation step. The same query executed with BEx Analyzer takes only 1-2 seconds to do the drill down.
Actions
suppress unassigned nodes in RSH1: Magic!! This was the main problem!!
tick use structure elements in RSRT: Done it.
enable query stripping in WebI: Done it.
upgrade your BW to SP09: Has the SP09 some inprovements in relation to this point ?
use more runtime query filters. : Not possible. Very simple query.
Others:
RSRT combination H-1-3-3-1 (Expand nodes/Permanent Cache BLOB)
Uncheck prelimirary Hierarchy presentation in Query. only selected.
Check "Use query drill" in webi properties.
Sorry for this mixed message but when i was answering i tryied what you suggest in relation with supress unassigned nodes and it works perfectly. This is what is cusing the bottleneck!! incredible...
Thanks a lot

? in SQL Queries and not using prepared statements

Using EclipseLink 1.1.1
Prepared Statements are disabled
In our production server something went wrong and one of our Read Queries started erroring. A DatabaseException was thrown and we log the "getQuery.getSQLString()" statement. We found this query in the logs:
SELECT t1.ID, t1.NAME, t1.DESCRIPTION, t1.EXTREFID, t1.STYLESHEET, t1.DDSVNVERSION, t1.FIRSTNAME, t1.LASTNAME, t1.EMAILADDR, t1.PHONENUMBER, t1.ADDRESS, t1.ADDRESS2, t1.CITY, t1.STATE, t1.POSTALCODE, t1.COUNTRY, t1.ADMINACCTNAME, t1.HASDOCUMENTS, t1.HASTIMEDNOTIFICATIONS, t1.STATUS, t1.ENTRYDATE, t1.EVALEXPDATE, t1.LASTREMINDDATE, t1.FULLUSERS, t1.LIMUSERS, t1.REQUSERS, t1.ISENTERPRISE, t1.EXPDATE, t1.ISDISABLED, t1.DISABLEDDATE, t1.NEEDLICENSEAGREEMENT, t1.ISWARNINGDISABLED, t1.LOCALE, t1.TIMEZONE, t1.CURRENCY, t1.DOMAIN, t1.DOCUMENTSIZE, t1.EXTRADOCUMENTSTORAGE, t1.ONDEMANDOPTIONS, t1.SSOTYPE, t1.RESELLERID, t1.ACCOUNTREPID, t1.LASTUSAGEREPORTDATE, t1.NEXTUSAGEREPORTDATE, t1.USAGEREPORTATTEMPTS FROM T_SSOOPTIONS t0, T_CUSTOMERS t1 WHERE *((((t0.SSOENABLED = ?) AND (t1.SSOTYPE IN (?, ?))) AND (UPPER(t1.DOMAIN) = ?)) AND (t0.CUSTOMERID = t1.ID))*
Notice the values weren't entered into the where clause. We had to bounce the application to fix the problem. I've never seen this before. I've added more debugging statements to the code - so if this happens again in the future I'll have more information to report on. In the mean time I'm wondering if anyone else has every seen a problem of this nature.

Database error due to invalid SQL statement.
I don't have a stack, we were catching the exception and not printing the stack :(
Like I mentioned in my first post, I added more debugging code (e.printStackTrace()). I understand this is hard to track down without more information. I was just hoping you guys had seen something like this before and had any insight. Like I mentioned before: this is on our production server. I've never seen this type of error before. That particular server (we run in a cluster mode) had been up for several days and then started generating that error. IT bounced the node and everything went back to normal. We have been using toplink for about 5 years now and have never seen this problem, until August 3rd 2009. The only thing that has changed recently is our migration from toplink 10 to EclipseLink. I was wondering if anyone knows if anything had changed in EclipseLink/toplink 11 with the generation of SQL queries.
I'll keep looking. There is more debugging code in there now. Since the error was "Database error due to invalid SQL statement" this implies the SQL was generated, exited that part of the code and was sent to the db where it failed. I'm afraid the printStackTrace won't help if this error happens again.

Hi Experts,
I got a doubt while I was going through the Mar/Apr-2013 edition of Oracle Magazine. http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/issue-archive/2013/13-mar/o23peer-1906471.html

What I'm not getting is the concept of <tt>'Disk Spindles'</tt>. What is that exactly and how it causes heat dissemination?
Help much appreciated!

I just read your statement above on the net but if not everything written on the 'Net' is true then your statement might be false.
But if your statement is false, then everything written on the 'Net' is true.
Which means your statement must be true!

SQL queries and projection

Hi,
we need to use the sql-query functionality in kodo for some of our
queries. When doing this, we would like to fetch the information for the
candidate object out together with the primary key as in:
select id, name
from mytable
where some-condition
mapping to an object X having the name as field, id as primary key. The
benefit here is that the name is then stored inside the
persistence-capable object and is also stored in kodos cache.
In a few queries, we furthermore need to get extra information from the
query. Is this possible?? For instance:
select id, name, count(*)
from mytable
where some-condition
group by xxxx
I know that I can map this to a custom result-class, but is it possible to
get it out as a persistence capable object X and the count?? And if so,
how?

Henning-
Unfortunately, you can't mix in a persistent class with other data in a
single query using the ResultClass mechanism. You'll need to either
using a custom ResultObjectProvider to perform the extra interpretation,
or else execute separate queries.

Poor performance by Matlab and Windows benchmark tests

Hello
I have a Lenovo Thinkpad W520 with Windows 7 64bit installed. Compared to other Notebooks with comparable hardware, my Lenovo is very slow. To prove my thought, I carried through a Matlab (64bit) benchmark test and the Windows 7 benchmark test. In both tests, my Lenovo was worse than the other notebooks. During the tests I set the Power Manager to performance and activated the Lenovo turbo boost.
Now I want to ask, if there are any settings, perhaps in the bios, to speed the laptop up? Or why result such a bad performance although the hardware is very good?
Thanks for your help
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Thank you very much for your reply!
I dated up the BIOS from version 1.27 to 1.32. Now the benchmark tests all look great!!
Thanks

Poor performance - QT Player and Safari

Ok, so I've been ignoring this issue on my computer for the longest time and I think it's time I got to the bottom of it.
I'm using a Quicksilver G4, 733MHz, with 896MB RAM.
Now, previously, prior to upgrading to Tiger, using Panther and QT 6.5 something, Quicktime worked pretty much flawlessly. I was so happy with it. After upgrading to Tiger such a long time ago, I noticed QT 7 wasn't nearly up to par and its performance was very bad.
The real issue here is this: Whenever I watch a streaming movie downloaded from the internet, in Safari, it runs choppy. Choppy as in the framerate stutters considerably, the video will pause while the audio still plays, and it basically renders the video unwatchable. The workaround I've been doing all this time, is: downloading the video onto my desktop and playing it through VLC. (Which it does absolutely flawlessly, mind you.)
Oh but it gets better - when I play these EXACT same video files in Quicktime Player - I get "improved" performance, but it still does the same thing: choppy video playback. Now, when I play these same streaming files in Firefox - they work, smooth as a baby's bottom. Quicktime's streaming plug-in works great. Doesn't make sense...
On top of ALL that: After this problem was already engraved in my head after trying numerous troubleshooting (reinstalling latest versions of Quicktime, clearing caches, making a test user account, A&I, etc....) I eventually upgraded my computer, and put another internal 250GB HD in it. So I was basically starting from scratch - a complete erase and install of the HD.
Lo and behold, Quicktime STILL did it. - same exact problem. So I gave up for a while and have been using VLC ever since. Or Firefox.
So that's my problem guys - any suggestions would be nice, or if you'd like, just tell me to keep using VLC and/or Firefox as workarounds and don't even try to fix it. ¬_¬

Quicksilver Powermac G4 733Mhz Mac OS X (10.4.8) 896 MB RAM, 250GB & 40GB HD

I do not use Safari. However, I found this troubleshooting technique in the MacAddict Magazine December 06 issue:
To fix a QT related problem w/Safari, quit Safari & look in the /Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder (this is the Library folder at the root level of your HD, not the one inside your Users/user name folder).
Try removing the VLC Plugin.plugin (if you have it) & QT Plugin.plugin files from this folder, & then relaunch Safari. If the problem isn’t fixed, a different plug-in may be to blame. Keep removing files from this folder (start with any third-party plug-ins that are present) until the problem disappears.
Replace the plug-ins that don’t cause any problems.

Poor performance with Yosemite and early 2009 Mac Pro

I have an early 2009 Mac Pro with the following specs:
- 2.66 GHz Quad Core Intel Xeon
- 10 GB of 1066 MHz RAM
- NVidia GeForce GT 120 512 MB
- 256 MB solid state drive for my system partition
- Two monitors connected, each at 1680x1050 resolution
Back when I was running OS X 10.7 or 10.8 I found that for every day tasks the performance using my computer was adequate. However, starting around 10.9, and even worse since upgrading to 10.10, thinks have gotten painfully slow. To give an example, activating Mission Control can take upwards of four seconds, with the animation being very choppy. Changing tabs on a Finder window can take two seconds for the switch to happen. Just switching between different windows, it can take several seconds for a window to activate. It's gotten to the point where I'm having difficulty working. So I'm thinking of upgrading some of my hardware.
Given my specs the weakest link seems to be my graphics card, and all of these issues do seem to be related to graphics. So my questions are:
- Do you think upgrading my graphics card will substantially improve things, and is there anything else I should upgrade?
- Is this slowness just the result of the computer being nearly six years old, and no upgrades will really improve things that much?
Thanks in advance!

Between Setup Assistant, and your existing system "untouched" (or use CCC if say you want to use an existing SSD for the system) there is no reason it should be a lot of work setting up. Have you ever used Migration or Setup? it has also gotten better.
Also, having 10.9.5 on another drive and running DU - and TRIM _now_ would be helpful.
Looking at just what gremlins you have running around inside your current system is not bad but.... sometimes the "long road" turns a shortcut into a dead end, and avoiding doing what seems the long road and hardest gets you where you want to go: a solid stable system.
Less is more. Most systems have more than needed and they get in the way and can cause trouble. Even handy "widgets" and those things that monitor system functions, even disk status. Which is why I like seeing a separate small system maintenance volume just for the weekly checkup. 30GB is more than enough so just slice out a partition somewhere - on another drive/device.
Those things, more so than and a lot cheaper than a new GPU. If your SSD is two years old, the 840 EVO from Samsung is down under $120 for 250GB, or use one for Lightroom / Aperture / iPhoto or scratch.
One person was complaining about sluggish window issue and thought it was the driver. Turned out It happened in ONE APP, not everywhere - very telling - and the app in question needs update. Adobe updated CC (for Windows) last month to finally support dual Dxx and some of the newer AMD GPUs - can the mac be far behind?
10GB RAM? that would not be 3 x 4GB or any combination using triple channel memory.

Poor performance after format and OS install.

680m
24g Kingston ram
Win7 64
Yesterday I formatted my drive and installed win7 64, after installing all the (old) drivers on the MSI website (link below), in the correct order, then waiting a good 8 hours for all the windows updates to install, I booted up WoW and found horrible FPS. I ran 3dmarks 11 and scored a dismal 2600 with my graphic and combined scores around 2500 and the physics at the normal 8500.
Searched online for some solutions, put the 680m as the default for WoW and 3dmarks but with no difference. I went ahead and got the latest drivers for the 680m off the Nvidia website and saw no improvement.
I did not install any utilities from the MSI website, are any of them needed for the proper function of the laptop or are they all fluff?
I did not install any firmware either, Is it needed?
Should I download the latest drivers for all the components or stick with MSI's?
The laptop itself is extremely quick when not needing graphical power.
Thank you.

The following factors will affect the performance score:
- Using AC or DC.
- Power plans (Windows). High-performance or Balanced mode.
- Numbers of background processes.
- Wi-Fi/BT on or off.
- Improvements from newer BIOS, EC, or Video BIOS versions.
- Screen brightness (slightly affected).
Your score is indeed a little lower. Check the points above to improve it.

Poor performance in iMovie and iDVD in the UK. Anyone noticed?

Hello everyone,
I've made several very successful DVDs using stills for UK TVs with the PAL format, 1280 x 720 pixels. I'm running iLife 06, latest everything for Tiger.
I use Keynote - export to Quicktime, custom settings, HDV 720p, Apple intermediate codec, 25 fps, for graphical introduction pieces.
I also use Photo 2 Movie for the stills with pan & scan etc., again Pal format, exported for iMovie.
These elements are then dropped into an iMovie project for the relevant subject and audio added. This project is then saved as a Full Quality QuickTime movie and dropped into a final assembly iMovie project, which is in turn sent to iDVD. This keeps the visual timeline manageably short.
On my last projects, this gave a stunning result. 4 Quicktime upgrades later and using the same procedure, motion now seems slightly jerky even though all the frame rates for PAL are correct. Before I complete the project, has anyone else noticed this drop in quality? I don't want to waste time if I should be doing something differently.
I've also noticed that once again, you can't use purchased music in an iMovie project - it freezes the video. Apple had this bug before and fixed it, now it's back. I don't know whether the two are connected.
Can anyone give me any advice? Thanks.

Why are you making a HD project if you then burn it as standard definition DVD via iDVD?
iDVD has to downsample the HD to SD. I haven't experimented how well iDVD manages to do that.
Have you tried to do a standard definition iMovie PAL project and feed that to a PAL iDVD project? Yes, I strongly recommend using Photo To Movie's High Quality PAL DV export for the slideshows because iMovie's slideshows are, erm, suboptimal in quality.
