Possible to check how much time an update statement on a table would take ?

Hello @all
I have a table with a fragmented Index, the table has an actula "user_updates" from 226'699.
How can i find out how much time an update on this table takes ?
i would like to check if there is any performance increase when i regroup the index (rebuild), cause the index has a fragementation of 85% now... (or should i delete the index completely) cause there are no user_seeks... only user_updates on the table...
and i thought that indexes only makes sense if users are reading from the table... am i wrong ? (cause on every update from the table, the index (indexes) have to be updated too...
Thanks and Regards
Dominic

Rebuilding the index will not likely result in a modification be quicker. At least not more than marginal. In fact, it might wven be slower, since if you currently have space on the index page for the new row and then rebuild so you *don't* have space then
the index rebuild will make that update be slower (at least for the cases where you get page splits). 
However if the index isn't used to find rows (any of the other three columns), then you have an index which only cost you and doesn't help you!

  • Is there a way of checking how much time has been spent on an Adobe document?

    I would like to know how much time is spent preparing or completing Adobe forms for time keeping purposes.  Is there any record of this in the individual document metadata, or anywhere?

    Hi mikeq,
    I don't believe that's something that gets tracked in your Acrobat.com online account. There are  free time-tracking utilities, though. I did a quick Google search and found a number of them.

  • How much time on alternate methods of browser testing?

    Here's a question for anyone who has done professional Web design on at least a part-time basis. I'm trying to help a friend decide whether to get an account with a company (browsercam.com) that lets you submit a URL and then see what it would look like using different combinations of screen sizes, operating systems and browsers. Apparently they use a "farm" of real computers to do this. It ain't cheap.
    For those of you designers not using the above-mentioned company or anyone similar, what do you prefer for testing your CSS/HTML for compatibility with the variety of website visitors out there, including those with mobile devices - AND - how much time do you think you use this way in a typical year? Or month? The Dreamweaver Browser Lab? Testing it out on several computers you have access to? Sending the link to several people using different computers and smart phones? Something else?
    Thanks!

    I'm not a big fan of screenshot services b/c a still image of one site page doesn't tell you much. This may be OK for quick layout checks but it isn't sufficient for usability and performance testing.  For that, you really must test in real browsers & devices. 
    I have current versions of the 5 major browsers installed on my workstation (IE, FF, Opera, Safari & Chrome).  Plus MyDebugBar's multi-IE tester for checking legacy IE.
    http://www.my-debugbar.com/wiki/IETester/HomePage
    If you're specifically targeting a particular make or model mobile device, it's best to buy or borrow one.  Given the staggering number of models on the market, it's not possible to check every one.

  • How much time can i leave it turned on

    hey i just got this mac and i'm downloading a software that weights 11,06 GB and i was wondering how much time can i leave it on...or do i have to turn it of and let it rest for a bit...i been going 3 days straight without any problems but im concern about overheating and so...thanks

    I leave mine on all the time day/night and only sleep the display. I restart once in a while when installing updates. Yes the backside can get hot to the touch and that's normal. But it also depends on the environment it's in. You can download iStat Pro if you want to check the fan speeds and internal temperatures. http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/27037

  • How do I display time remaining in a captivate published video so the learning can know how much time is remaining in a video

    After I publish my video it just plays but there is no indication of how much time is remaining on the video while watching. How do I display this

    It is possible, but you have to know 'time' is bit different, depending if you are talking about the 'editors' time or the real time spent by the the trainee. Have a look at this old blog post, that tries to explain:
    http://blog.lilybiri.com/display-time-information
    Time can show on the TOC (editors time), and if you have a playbar with a progress bar that gives some indication as well, but both for pure linear projects.

  • While running the query how much time it will taken, I want to see the time

    Hi Folks
    I would like to know ... While running the query how much time it will be taken, I want to see the time? in WEBI XI R2.....
    Plz let me know  the answer.......

    Hi Ravi,
    The time a report runs is estimated based on the last time it was run. So you need to run the report once before you can see how long it will take. Also it depends on several factors... the database server could cache some queries so running it a second time immediately after the first time could be quicker. And there is the chance of changing filters to bring back different sets of data.
    You could also schedule a report and then check the scheduled instance's status properties and view how long a report actually ran.
    Good luck

  • How to check how much memory

    How to check how much my macbook pro has left and also why does my battery charger get really hot?

    If your question is how much space is on your HDD, then click on the HDD icon on your desktop and the COMMAND 'I'.  That will give you a window with that information.
    If you want to examine RAM usage, open Activity Monitor>System Memory.
    Your battery charger will get hot if you are using your MBP for a long period of time but should nor get 'really hot'.  I you have concerns, bring it to an Apple store for evaluation.
    Ciao.

  • How much time does 8.2 software have?

    I've been reviewing software revisions for the Cisco ASA 5500 family.  We have a few clients running 8.2 and the jump to 8.3 will require significant effort to make sure everything translates properly.  There are no features in 8.3 that these clients require so it seems in their, and our, best interest to let them ride the 8.2 software until an upgrade is necessary to continue receiving security patches.  I have looked for EOL notifications but have not found anything for 8.2.  I have also placed an inquiry with our SE at Cisco, but I thought I would ask if anyone knows anything about how much time 8.2 has before we could expect to see an EOL notification.

    I can't seem to find the same for the 8.2.
    Though I would consider that there are still alot of users happily going about with the very old PIX firewalls running software 6.x or even older. Not saying its a good thing but it work.
    And considering 8.2 is the latest software before the BIG NAT change I would imagine it will stay in use for a long time for those that dont want to learn/adopt the new NAT format.

  • Want to upgrade RAC 10.2.0.2 database (2 instances) to 10.2.0.5. DB size is 4 TB. Contains mostly .pdf files, reports. I do not have test/upgrade environment. How much time I can expect it will take?

    Want to upgrade RAC 10.2.0.2 database (2 instances) to 10.2.0.5. DB size is 4 TB. Contains mostly .pdf files, reports. I do not have test/upgrade environment. How much time I can expect it will take?
    How much the upgrade process depends of database size, in this case?
    I have fast boxes  IBM AIX 5.3 , 64 b.

    Appreciate your comments ...
    Yes, sound stupid, regarding test environment, but in reality, is not that much:
    -I do have "preprod" environment, (2 instances RAC) same releases of OS, OCW,RAC ... but DB size is 40 GB!!!  It has all the objects as production, but (again but) it does not have physical standby, as production has. This is not that unusual, knowing that production DB grows very fast, and very large, and business do not want to keep preprod, dev, test databases same HUGE size as production is. Savings ...
    -My DB upgrade depends if application  running on top of it is certified for higher RDBMS release ... looks like they have some problems.
    -Very encouraging sounds comment that DB upgrade does not depend that much of the DB size ...
    - i do not recall from where this info came, but I have heard that R 11.* treats PDF files in different way that R10 did it ... and because of that, process of upgrading big databases which have many items of that type (pdf) can take very long. Any idea about this?
    -Brian, thx ... I'm trying hard to provide DB simmilar size in UPG environment and face all possible pitfalls before I go in production...thx for youe advice. I'm relly interested in how upgrade to 11.* from 10.* traets my pdf-s ... All my TBs comming from pdfs. Everi advice will be wellcome ...
