Segment space mangement

Hello Folks,
For Oracle 10g its recommended Segment space management as auto by oracle
but do it have any limitations
I understand for changing from manual to auto need to recreate tablespaces,is it worth change from manual to auto
i mean do it provides considerable benefits in long run, i see some dba still prefer manual (pl suggest reason if anyone aware)
Thanks in advance
dev

In case of auto, no need to specify the PCTUSED, FREELISTS, and FREELIST GROUPS parameters

  • ASSM (Automatic Segment Space Management)

    Hi Folks.
    I have a severe problem regarding Buffer Busy Waits.
    I have deceided to implement ASSM (Automatic Segment Space Management).
    Please assist....is the approch OK & how should i apply this in a existing tablespace (pls also specify the syntax & other constraints that should be taken care of)....
    Waiting for reply ... & thanks a lot in advance....

    ASSM is a good feature to use, but, you need to kill the culprit instaed of simply MOVING ON.
    If creating a new tablespace with ASSM, moving objects from Non-ASSM to the new tablespace is a problem, then, think of the following:
    First of all, findout which object type is causing BBW, is it rollback/undo header, undo/rollback block, segment headere or what?
    You need to review the P3 value(reason code) of BBW wait event.
    Try to review the following dynamic views, before you decide to MOVE on.
    v$waitstat (segment header)
    v$segment_statistics(read the oracle docs. how to use this view and which parameter need to set in order to enable this feature).

  • How to change segment space management (to manual)

    How do I change the segment space management for a tablespace, from auto to manual
    I can find documentation, to create tablespaces, and set them to auto, but nothing yet to change them from auto to manual.

    I just found out, that I am confusing 2 subjects here: segment space management, and auto extensibility. My apologies ....... still new with Oracle :-o
    Ok, to change autoextend to manual, do I do this on data_file level ? Do I only need to change this on the last datafile of a tablespace ?

  • Segment space while splitting partition

    Hello,
    I am using Oracle Database version, 11.2.0.2
    I am facing issue while splitting non-empty partitions.
    Issue:
    While splitting the non-empty partitions, oracle by default assigning segment space of 8MB. On the other hand, while I split empty partition or create the new partition, it does not get the segment space.
    I am using range partitions, and requirement is such we need to create daily partitions. So, this eats up a lot of space of database and I want to avoid this.
    I checked on internet, its been written that one parameter is causing this change. i.e. "_partition_large_extents"
    I alter the session and put the above parameter as 'false', but still it doesn't help.
    Let me know, what I can do, while splitting partition and deferring the segment space.
    Thanks in advance

    Hi,
    It is discussed in bug
    Bug 12415287 - DEFERRED SEGMENT CREATION DOES NOT WORK ON SPLIT PARTITION
    As per the bug, this issue will be fixed in 11.2.0.4 version.
    Thanks,

  • Segment space management

    hai experts
    can anyone tell me the reason why system tablespace's segment space management is manual. any link for the description

    thanks Jonathan Ferreira
    want to know why manual management is made as
    default for system tablespace
    hen auto space management will reduce the burden of a
    DBA and make space management easyIf I had to make a guess, I would suggest that since the system tablespace contains rollback (undo) segments, ASSM cannot be used. With ASSM, the extent size starts small (64KB) and grows to 1MB, 8MB, etc. as additional extents are added to segments.
    Since regular users should not be using the SYSTEM tablespace for inserts/updates/undo, there should be minimal burden for the DBA in managing that tablespace.

  • Manual segment space managed tablespaces , How tune?

    I use Manual segment space managed tablespaces.
    How I can tuning for high performance?
    What's advantage and disavantage of Manual segment space managed tablespaces and Auto segment space managed tablespaces?
    if I used more data.
    I'll use Auto or manual?
    Please introduce me.

    ASSM deal with freelist, freelist group(RAC) storage parameters. If you use ASSM you dont need to worry about adjusting freelist and group, oracle will automatically deal with it. If you are using manual storage segment management there would no problem unless you you see heavy buffer busy waits on your tables. You may also play with freelist value for tables which have concurrent inserts and access to avoid buffer busy waits.
    From oracle 9i Rel 2 onwards, you have segment level statistics to find out which segments causing more buffer busy waits and tune them accordingly. There are other meaning for buffer busy waits, check v$event_name for buffe busy waits and find out the reason code for the cause of buffer busy waits event.

  • Change SEGMENT SPACE MANAGEMENT from manual toAUTO

    Hi, how can i to alter tablespace to SEGMENT SPACE MANAGEMENT AUTO ?
    only with re-create the tablespace ?
    regards
    MDF

    Hi,
    Oracle says :
    Your specification at tablespace creation time of your method for managing available space in segments, applies to all segments subsequently created in the tablespace. Also, your choice of method cannot be subsequently altered. Only permanent, locally managed tablespaces can specify automatic segment-space management.

  • Conversion to segment space management auto

    My production databases is 10gR2, tablespaces are created locally managed with segment space management manual.
    I wanted to change the segment space management to AUTO.
    What is the best way to do this keeping the downtime minimal?
    Thanks
    S~

    A summary.
    First, you cannot convert to ASSM. The only mechanism provided is to create a new tablespace with segment space management auto and then move all objects across from their existing tablespace. That is the only conversion mechanism provided or possible.
    Second, you probably don't want to convert to ASSM anyway. It is designed to resolve the problem of massive contention for hot blocks on inserts -the kind of thing that will happen in a RAC. In a RAC, ASSM is extremely good news and you'd be mad NOT to use it. But if you don't have a RAC, then the chances of you needing ASSM are much less. If you find particular segments that suffer from insert contention (the symptoms are lots of buffer busy waits and ITL waits), then move those few segments that need the ASSM treatment into specially-created ASSM tablespaces. But don't go doing bulk converts of things that don't need it!
    Third, if you are using OMF and ASM, then that's another situation in which ASSM makes a lot of sense: you're automating everything else anyway, so why not use the automatic 'freelists' mechanism, too?
    Fourth, ASSM is about how a table knows where its next insert will take place. Extent Management Local/Uniform is all about how a tablespace allocates chunks of space to segments that need it. Completely different technologies.
    Fifth, I would always use extent management auto, because do you know what are the "right" extent sizes to allocate to tables? No, I didn't think so. Oracle can work it out for you, though, with no detriment to you, your tables or your performance levels.
    Sixth, back on the topic of ASSM, you might find this article useful:

  • Difference between extent management and segment space management

    Hello,
    Could you tell me the difference between extent management and segment space management interms of datablocks?

    After 10g, default tablespace is locally managed and with this creation, your segment's spaces are managed "automatically".
    Automatic segment space management is onlyt avaliable to locally managed tablespaces.
    The logic of the automatic segment space management is;
    For instance, we have a rectangle cube which is totally empty (1 extent - 8 segments - 64 block in default). If we enter a new data to our table, data is stored inside this cube with it's information. (default 8k). If our data must be splitted, check row chaining for further information.
    At this point, oracle decides which block is filled with the entered data. It automatically fills the emty blocks. You can use this only if your tablespace is locally managed and your segment space managemet is auto.
    On the other hand,
    If we create dictionary managed tablespace,
    Data is stored in "dictionary" (tables in SYS schema). This is a bit slower than locally managed tablespaces. So filling the extents, segments and blocks will be slow too. You need to specify the PCTUSED, FREELISTS, FREELISTS GROUPS for the storage of the data. If segment space managent is auto, you don't need to define those values.
    In summary, locally managed tablespaces with automatic segment space management is Oracle's maybe the most important feature. I am not using dictionary managed tablespaces and i advice don't use it either. In the end, this is an upgrade of using segment spaces much more faster, easier and reliable, trustable.
    PS: You will need to check "High Water Mark" for automatic segment space management.
