Query occasionally causes table scans (db file sequential read)

Dear all,
we periodically issue a query on a huge table via an oracle job.
Whenever I invoke the query manually, the response time is good. When I start the periodic job, initially the response times are good as well. After some days, however, the query suddenly takes almost forever.
My vague guess is that for some reason the query suddenly changes the execution plan from using the primary key index to a full table scan (or huge index range scan). Maybe because of some problems with the primary key index (fragmentation? Other?).
- Could it be the case that the execution plan for a query changes (automatically) like this? For what reasons?
- Do you have any hints where to look for further information for analysis? (logs, special event types, ...)?
- Of course, the query was designed having involved indexes in mind. Also, I studied the execution plan and did not find hints for problematic table/range scans.
- It is not a lock contention problem
- When the query "takes forever", there is a "db file sequential read" event in v$session_event for the query with an ever increasing wait time. That's why I guess a (unreasonable) table scan is happening.
Some charachteristics of the table in question:
- ~ 30 Mio rows
- There are only insertions to the table, as well as updates on a single, indexed field. No deletes.
- There is an integer primary key field with an B-tree index.
Charachteristics of the query:
The main structure of the query is very simple and as follows: I select a range of about 100 rows via primary key "id", like:
Select * from TheTable where id>11222300 and id <= 11222400
There are several joins with rather small tables, which make the overall query more complicated.
However, the few (100) rows of the huge table in question should always be fetched using the primary key index, shouldn't it?
Please let me know if some relevant information about the problem is missing.
Thanks!
Best regards,
Nang.

For what reasons?Yes possible, One reason is stats of the table has been changed i.e somebody issued dbms_stats. If you are worried about execution plan getting changed then two option 1) Lock the stats 2) Use hint in the query.
- Do you have any hints where to look for further information for analysis? (logs, special event types, ...)?Have a Ora-10053 trace enabled whenever query plan changes and analysis it.

If it db file sequential read then i see two things 1) It is doing index range scan(Not table full scan) or 2) It is scanning undo tablespaces.

Yes theoreitically it should practically we can only say by looking at run time explain plan(through 10053,10046 trace).
Please let me know if some relevant information about the problem is missing.
Thanks!
Best regards,
Nang.I am still not sure in which direction you are looking for solution.
Is your query performing bad once in a fortnight and next day it is all same again.
I suggest to
1) Check if the data is scanning undo tablespace. I see you mentioned there is lot of inserts, could be that Oracle would be scanning undo tablespace because of delayed clean out.
2) Check if that particular day the number of records are high compared to other day.
Or once it starts performing bad then for next couple of days there is no change in response time.
1) Check if explain plan has been changed?
And what action you take to bring back the response time to normal?

  • Query running very slow with db file sequential read waits which all indexes would be recommended

    My query is doing lot of db file sequential reads I want to create few indexes and extended stats please help me with your suggestions.
    Can anybody suggest I am unable to paste my query here -don't know why it's not getting pasted--is it not permitted ? 
    thank you.

    The simplest way to find it out is using Oracle Enterprise Manager. Just locate the SQL ID for the SQL and run "SQL tuning advisor". This will exactly pinpoint where do you need to create indexes etc. Another option is manually running explain plan for the SQL and finding out which predicate is causing full scans with high i/o

    Objectives
    To show that when serial scans are performed on database built on Solid State Disks (SSD) compared to Magnetic disks (HDD), the performance gain is far less compared to random reads with index scans on SSD compared to HDD
    Approach
    We want to read the first 100 rows of tdash table randomly into buffer, taking account of wait events and wait times generated. The idea is that on SSD the wait times will be better compared to HDD but not that much given the serial nature of table scans.

In comparison with no direct path read, there are 1,218,651 db file scattered read waits with total wait time of 3,770 seconds. My understanding is that direct path read can use single or multi-block read into the PGA. However db file scattered reads do multi-block read into multiple discontinuous SGA buffers. So it is possible given the higher number of direct path waits that the optimizer cannot do multi-block reads (contigious buffers within PGA) and hence has to revert to single blocks reads which results in more calls and more waits?.
    Appreciate any advise and apologies for being long winded.
    Thanks,

    Hi Charles,
    I am doing your tests for t1 table using my server.
    Just to clarify my environment is:
    I did the whole of this test on my server. My server has I7-980 HEX core processor with 24GB of RAM and 1 TB of HDD SATA II for test/scratch backup and archive. The operating system is RHES 5.2 64-bit installed on a 120GB OCZ Vertex 3 Series SATA III 2.5-inch Solid State Drive.
    Oracle version installed was 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.1.0 -64bit. The binaries were created on HDD. Oracle itself was configured with 16GB of SGA, of which 7.5GB was allocated to Variable Size and 8GB to Database Buffers.
    For Oracle tablespaces including SYS, SYSTEM, SYSAUX, TEMPORARY, UNDO and redo logs, I used file systems on 240GB OCZ Vertex 3 Series SATA III 2.5-inch Solid State Drive. With 4K Random Read at 53,500 IOPS and 4K Random Write at 56,000 IOPS (manufacturer’s figures), this drive is probably one of the fastest commodity SSDs using NAND flash memory with Multi-Level Cell (MLC). Now my T1 table created as per your script and has the following rows and blocks (8k block size)
    SELECT
      NUM_ROWS,
      BLOCKS
    FROM
      USER_TABLES
    WHERE
      TABLE_NAME='T1';
      NUM_ROWS     BLOCKS
      12000000     178952which is pretty identical to yours.
    Then I run the query as brelow
    set timing on
    ALTER SESSION SET TRACEFILE_IDENTIFIER = 'test_bed_T1';
    ALTER SESSION SET EVENTS '10046 TRACE NAME CONTEXT FOREVER, LEVEL 8';
    SELECT
            COUNT(*)
    FROM
            T1
    WHERE
            RN=1;
    which gives
      COUNT(*)
         60000
    Elapsed: 00:00:05.29

    roughly 17.5/129759 = .00013 sec for single block I/O and  3770.02/1218651 = .0030 for multi-block I/ONow my theory is that the improvements comes from the large buffer cache (8320MB) inducing it to do some read aheads (async pre-fetch). Read aheads are like quasi logical I/Os and they will be cheaper compared to physical I/O. When there is large buffer cache and read aheads can be done then using buffer cache is a better choice than PGA?

  • How can this query avoid full table scans?

    It is difficult to avoid full table scans in the following query because the values of column STATUS reiterant numbers. There are only 10 numbers values for the STATUS column (1..10)
    But the table is very large. there are more than 1 million rows in it. A full table scanning consumes too much time.
    How can this query avoid full table scans?
    Thank you

                            STATUS =! 8;Edited by: junez on Jul 23, 2009 7:30 PM

    Your code had an extra AND. I also replaced the "not equal" operator, which has display problems with the forum software
    SELECT SYNC,CUS_ID
       INTO V_SYNC,V_CUS_ID
      FROM CONSUMER_MSG_IDX
    WHERE CUS_ID = V_TYPE_CUS_HEADER.CUS_ID AND
           ADDRESS_ID = V_TYPE_CUS_HEADER.ADDRESS_ID AND
           STATUS != 8;Are you sure this query is doing a table scan? Is there an index on CUS_ID, ADDRESS_ID? I would think that would be mostly unique. So I'm not sure why you think the STATUS column is causing problems. It would seem to just be a non-selective additional filter.

    Under some circumstances querying the dictionary can be slow, usually because of problems with bad execution plans related to bad statistics, try to gather statistics using dbms_stats.gather_fixed_objects_stats(); it has worked for me before.
    You can also read Note 414256.1 Poor Performance For Tablespace Page Display In Grid Control Console which in addition points to a possible problem with the recycle bin.

  • Optimize long execution time due to 'db file sequential read'

    Hi to all,
    I have got a query that takes long execution time. Most of the time is due to 'db file sequential read'. The query is:
    SELECT * FROM Table_Name
    WHERE col1 = :some_value
    AND col2 BETWEEN :some_range_about_2_Million
    | Id | Operation | Name | Rows | Bytes | Cost |
    | 0 | SELECT STATEMENT | | 21 | 504 | 26125 |
    | 1 | TABLE ACCESS BY INDEX ROWID| Table_Name | 21 | 504 | 26125 |
    | 2 | INDEX RANGE SCAN | Index Name | 1705K| | 4100 |
    The table is not partitioned having around 0.2 billion records. Record set for column 'col1' is around 1700K.
    Another index is available for the col2 and col3 is not getting used.
    Any suggestions to optimize it..
    Regards.

    Perhaps a combined index (col2, col1) would work...or try "parallel" hint.

  • 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.

  • Need fix for db file  sequential read

    Hi all,
    My db is 10.2.0.3.0 on windows. One of our query is very slow. When I checked for the reason from v$session the wait event is db file  sequential read. Generated ash report and checked. Report listed one file id(p1), block id(p2), and number of blocks -1(p3). And other objects in the top objects. So how u can fix this now. Does I need to pin the block in the buffer cache..? Or does I need to to pin that complete object. Please suggest. I need to fix this.
    Thanks a lot..

    962013 wrote:
    Yes it is not issue, but yesterday query was running fine and today it is getting late. then what could be the reason to getting slow.
    We was having standby database and we performed switch over. and now on the primary database (previously standby) query is running and getting slow. I guess this is reason.
    So is there any action that we can take to minimize this issue. Please suggest...
    Thanks

  • Very high log file sequential read and control file sequential read waits?

    I have a 10.2.0.4 database and have 5 streams capture processes running to replicate data to another database. However I am seeing very high
    log file sequential read and control file sequential read by the capture procesess. This is causing slowness in the database as the databass is wasting so much time on these wait events. From AWR report
    Elapsed: 20.12 (mins)
    DB Time: 67.04 (mins)
    and From top 5 wait events

    Oracle support hasn't been of much help, other than wasting my 10 days and telling me to try this and try that.
    Do you have streams running in your environment, are you experiencing this wait. Have you done anything to resolve these waits..
    Thanks

    Welcome to the forums.
    There is insufficient information in what you have posted to know that your analysis of the situation is correct or anything about your Streams environment.
    We don't know what you are replicating. Not size, not volume, not type of capture, not rules, etc.
    We don't know the distance over which it is being replicated ... 10 ft. or 10 light years.
    We don't have any AWR or ASH data to look at.
    etc. etc. etc. If this is what you provided Oracle Support it is no wonder they were unable to help you.
    To diagnose this problem, if one exists, requires someone on-site or with a very substantial body of data which you have not provided. The first step is to fill in the answers to all of the obvious first level questions. Then we will likely come back with a second level of questioning.
    But when you do ... do not post here. Your questions are not "Database General" they are specific to Streams and there is a Streams forum specifically for them.
    Thank you.

    However, extract traces do not appear to show any waits associated with control files. A 10046 trace has been requested but not done as of yet.
    Are there any known issues we can test for, or is this expected behavior? Any further tests that could be run?
    Thanks,
    Steve

    Steve,
    There is an Oracle internal list you can use. I just sent you email on how to join.
    Here's a shot in the dark: I've seen something similar with log sync waits on systems not moving a lot of data (usually a test system) and we're a little eager to get the next piece of data when at the logical end of file. That can be overcome using THREADOPTIONS EOFDELAYMS. Otherwise you'll need to start using the OGG trace commands.
    Good luck,
    -joe

  • Log file sequential read  and RFS ping/write - among Top 5 event

    I have situation here to discuss. In a 3-node RAC setup which is Logical standby DB; one node is showing high CPU utilization around 40~50%. The CPU utilization was less than 20% 10 days back but from 9th oldest day it jumped and consistently shows the double figure. I ran AWR reports on all three nodes and found one node with high CPU utilization and shows below tops events-
    EVENT WAITS TIME(S) AVG WAIT(MS) %TOTAL CALL TIME WAIT CLASS
    CPU time 5,802 34.9
    RFS ping 15 5,118 33,671 30.8 Other
    Log file sequential read 234,831 5,036 21 30.3 System I/O

    client 24,171 1,087 45 6.5 Network
    Db file sequential read 130,939 453 3 2.7 User I/O
    Findings:-
    On AWR report(file attached) for node= sipd207; we can see that "RFS PING" wait event takes 30% of the waits and "log file sequential read" wait event takes 30% of the waits that occurs in database.
    Environment :- (Oracle- 10.2.0.4.0, O/S - AIX .3)
    1)other node awr shows "log file sync" - is it due to oversized log buffer?
    2)Network wait events can be reduced by tweaking SDU & TDU values based on MDU.
    3) Why ARCH processes taking much to archives filled redo logs; is it issue with slow disk I/O?

  • Query doing full table scan

    Hai all,
    10.2.0.4 on solaris 10
    SELECT sum(RechargeForPrepaid/10000), to_date(substr (TIMESTAMP, 1,8),'YYYY/MM/DD')
    FROM medt.crm_t  WHERE to_date(substr (TIMESTAMP, 1,8),'YYYY/MM/DD') >= trunc(sysdate)-1 and tradetype != '0' group by to_date(substr (TIMESTAMP, 1,8),'YYYY/MM/DD');The explain shows that it performs a full table scan on crm_t . I created indexes on the column
    timestamp and tradetype too . collected stats too. but still it is doing a full table scan.
    Please guide
    Thanks
    Kai

    It is also of the wrong type--> dates shouldn't be stored as varchar2.All we know, is that the column is treated as if it is a VARCHAR2. It doesn't have to be a varchar2, because he might be relying on some implicit datatype conversion.
    The design of this table is a complete mess.
    Drop it and redesign.You'd better tell that to Oracle as well then :-) :

    TEMPORARY                                                                          VARCHAR2(1)
    GENERATED                                                                          VARCHAR2(1)
    SECONDARY                                                                          VARCHAR2(1)My point is that the TIMESTAMP datatype was introduced in version 9, and versions prior to that were free to use the name "TIMESTAMP". And all those older applications still function. A redesign would be ideal, but maybe not economically feasible. Oracle certainly didn't choose a redesign.
    If you are going to build a new application, then I agree that you'd better not use that reserved word anymore.

  • Tables in subquery resulting in full table scans

    Hi,
    This is related to a p1 bug 13009447. Customer recently upgraded to 10G. Customer reported this type of problem for the second time.
    Problem Description:
    All the tables in sub-query are resulting in full table scans and hence are executing for hours.
    Here is the query

    Hi,
    welcome,
    how is the query performing if you delete all the hints for PARALLEL, because most of the waits are related to waits on Parallel.
