SGA_MAX_SIZE and SGA_TARGET in Oracle 10G

We have the following H/W with Solaris 9
SPARC-IV 16 CPUs
32GB RAM
128GB swap
What is the optimal size of sga_target and sga_max_size that can be configured for a heavy batch processing oracle server. Nothing runs except oracle in the above server.
We have currently 3GB SGA size , however our heavy queries are very slow.
We have huge updates on tables with more than 200Millions rows.
Do we need to have JAVA_POOL if the java stored procedure are NOT used.
However we are connecting to this database using JDBC also.
Moreover ASM is enabled in this server.
You expert suggetions are always welcome.

That's not a question that can be answered easily. It depends very much on where the time is going. Three main targets:
Writing the log file - which is largely about use of disks, not memory.
Reading data - lots of single block reads suggest looking at a bigger cache
Reading and writing temp because of large sorts/hash joins - pga configuration
One difficulty with TEMP is that the I/Os are often asynchronous, so a session can do a lot of TEMP I/O without recording much time - which means it can cause a problem elsewhere without suffering a problem itself.
You didn't mention the pga_aggregate_size - which is an important consideration in 10g and can be more important than the sga sizing in DSS and batch-like processing. Between them, the SGA and PGA_aggregate_target should probably account for a very large fraction of your memory - but (since you are on Solaris) make sure you look into large memory pages and intimate shared memory, otherwise you may need to leave a lot of memory available for the O/S memory management mechanisms.
As far as the java pool is concerned, check v$sgastat for pools which constantly show free memory, and reclaim any large free volumes.
Bottom line - if you've got the memory in the box, you might as well use it in the best possible place; but at the moment we don't have enough information to tell us where it would be most useful.

Increase the SGA_MAX_SIZE and SGA_TARGET parameters

HI ,
I am using oracle 10g R2 and windows server 2003 .
My server is having 8 GB RAM .
I want to increase the SGA_MAX_SIZE and SGA_TARGET parameters .
I am using the below command , but getting the error
SQL> alter system set sga_max_size=2000M scope=spfile ;
alter system set sga_max_size=2000M scope=spfile
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-32001: write to SPFILE requested but no SPFILE specified at startup
Can someone please help ..

hi
connect as sys user and then try...
first make folder as backup and then copy the old SPFILEorcl to the same folder(backup)
now you can easily modify the files otherwise you will get error..
you will find here..
C:\ORACLE_HOME\database
SQL> alter system set sga_max_size=2000M scope=spfile ;
System altered.OR.
connect as sys user.
and do the following...
1).SQL>create pfile from spfile;
2).modify the pfile and decrease\increase the size of pools.
3).shutdown database.
4). Startup database using created pfile.
if it start ok then.
5.) Recreate the Spfile with the created Pfile.
SQL>create spfile from pfile;sarah

Increase SGA_MAX_SIZE and SGA_TARGET

Hi all,
I want to increase SGA_MAX_SIZE and SGA_TARGET in 10g. Currently we have
SQL> sho parameter sga
NAME TYPE VALUE
lock_sga boolean FALSE
pre_page_sga boolean FALSE
sga_max_size big integer 2384M
sga_target big integer 2384M
And we have 16GB RAM in redhat linux 4(32 bit).Oracle 10.2.0.3 DB.
Because of 32 bit OS, I was not able to increase shmmax more than 4GB.
In this situation how and how much SGA_MAX_SIZE and SGA_TARGET I can increase?
Thanks in Advance,
Sunil

Hi sunilgln,
Given the present state of things, you have to take a meassure of how many RAM is used with nothing running but the OS, that will give you the Linux footprint.
Take note of the amount of physical free memory (using top command)
Later you have to estimate how much swapping are you willing to accept, the SGA you define may be within the ranges of
FREE MEM*90% and FREE MEM*90+(OS FOOTPRINT*%SWAP MEMORY WILLING TO USE)
This is a proposal for setting this up, you need to tune and balance load depending on usage.
Another recommendation, SGA_TARGET is dynamic, SGA_MAX_SIZE is not...but you may set SGA_MAX_SIZE to a full allocation and set SGA_TARGET to a percentage that allocation and gradually use it.
What happens is: the OS will "allocate" a chunk(or chunks) the size given by SGA_MAX_SIZE, but the real usage by the database will be determined by SGA_TARGET.
Hope this helps you
Ignacio

How can I change SGA_TARGET IN Oracle 10G.

Dear Experts,
Please tell me
How can I change SGA_MAX_SIZE IN Oracle 10G.
How can I change SGA_TARGET IN Oracle 10G.
How Can i recreate SPFILE IN Oracle 10G.

Dear Experts,
Please tell me
How can I change SGA_MAX_SIZE IN Oracle 10G.
How can I change SGA_TARGET IN Oracle 10G.
How Can i recreate SPFILE IN Oracle 10G.SGA_MAX_SIZE and SGA_TARGET are all to be changed by alter system statement.
The difference is, you can't make change to SGA_MAX_SIZE effective while instance is running. Need restart database to make change effective.
Your can change SGA_TARGET while instance is running, as long as it's smaller than SGA_MAX_SIZE
to recreate a spfile,
you can shutdown your database,
find a copy of valid pfile,
startup pfile=/directory/yourpfile
and
create spfile from pfile;

SGA_MAX_SIZE and SGA_TARGET

DBAs,
can any one tell me in brief how SGA_MAX_SIZE and SGA_TARGET helps to tune the instance?
i have gone through with vairous link but still confuse.
Regards,
BK

hi BK,
SGA_MAX_SIZE is the maximum sizeof the shared global area (system global area), and SGA_TARGET is set when you want to use ASSM (automatic shared memory management) which is a 10g feature.
You are alos adviced to post oracle version and os.. SGA_TARGET when set, then oracle automatically manages the memory and if not set then you have to set SGA_MAX _SIZE and manually set others memory components accordingly and tune them.
I hope this helps you in a small manner
Thanks and Regards

How to integrate from MS SQL SERVER 2005 and Flatfile to Oracle 10g.

Hi
I am new to ODI. I am trying to load sample data from MS SQL Server 2005 and Flatfile to Oracle 10g.
1. I have created three models.
1-1. SQL2005 (SRC_CUSTOMER table)
1-2. Flatfile (SRC_AGE_GROUP.txt & SRC_SALES_PERSON.txt)
1-3. Oracle 10g (TRG_CUSTOMER table)
You may know I got those environments from the ODI DEMO environment.
2. I could able to reverse the tables also.
3. I have created an interface which contains source table (from MSSQL 2005), Flatfile and target table from ORACLE model.
4. I have imported the knowledge modules. But I am confusing in selecting the knowledge modules to source and target tables.
I've selected LKM File to SQL for flatfile model.
I've also selected LKM SQL to SQL for MSSQL 2005 model and IKM Oracle Incremental Update for the target table (ORACLE).
I've also implemented the interface that I created. It worked without errors. But there is no data in target table which is TRG_CUSTOMER.
I really would like to know what happened and what the problems are.
You can email me [email protected]
Thanks in advance
Jason Lee

what did give for SRC_AGE_GROUP SRC_CUSTOMER join condition
if it is
(SRC_CUSTOMER.AGE=SRC_AGE_GROUP.AGE_MIN) AND SRC_CUSTOMER.AGE=SRC_AGE_GROUP.AGE_MAX
give it as
(SRC_CUSTOMER.AGE>SRC_AGE_GROUP.AGE_MIN) AND SRC_CUSTOMER.AGE<SRC_AGE_GROUP.AGE_MAX

Issue creating a database: SGA_MAX_SIZE and SGA_TARGET

Hello:
While creating a custom database, I am running into issues with the values I specify for SGA_MAX_SIZE and SGA_TARGET.
The install manual for the product I am creating the database for says that SGA_MAX_SIZE should be >= SGA_TARGET_SIZE. It also wants a minimum of 1Gig for SGA_Target
The Database Configuration Assistant defaulted to 0.64GB for SGA_TARGET and 0.168 for SGA_MAX_SIZE (This is clearly against the instruction in the installation manual).
Who is right? Me or the vendor?
I read some threads that indicate that the vendor may be wrong.
venki

Follow the vendor's instructions.
DBCA has never in its existence made a correct decision yet. It puts all control files and redo logs into one directory.
It doesn't create multiple members for the log file groups.
And its memory management is based on a simple algorithm that has nothing to do with any specific reality.
DBCA is intended for creating a generic database for generic purposes ... and that it does very very well.

Sga_max_size and sga_target values

I have an 11g database on windows with 4GB RAM, I have set the MEMORY_MAX_TARGET and MEMORY_TARGET, what should I do with the pre-existing sga_max_size and sga_target values

memory_target = sga_target + max(pga_aggregate_target, maximum PGA allocated)
MEMORY_MAX_TARGET = sum of the SGA and instance PGA sizes.
For Automatic memory management
set
ALTER SYSTEM SET SGA_TARGET = 0;
ALTER SYSTEM SET PGA_AGGREGATE_TARGET = 0;
Note:
In a text initialization parameter file, if you omit the line for MEMORY_MAX_TARGET and include a value for MEMORY_TARGET, the database automatically sets MEMORY_MAX_TARGET to the value of MEMORY_TARGET. If you omit the line for MEMORY_TARGET and include a value for MEMORY_MAX_TARGET, the MEMORY_TARGET parameter defaults to zero. After startup, you can then dynamically change MEMORY_TARGET to a nonzero value, provided that it does not exceed the value of MEMORY_MAX_TARGET.
Note:
The preceding steps instruct you to set SGA_TARGET and PGA_AGGREGATE_TARGET to zero so that the sizes of the SGA and instance PGA are tuned up and down as required, without restrictions. You can omit the statements that set these parameter values to zero and leave either or both of the values as positive numbers. In this case, the values act as minimum values for the sizes of the SGA or instance PGA.

Backing Up Database Table and Records in Oracle 10g

Hi All,
I created database for my company with Oracle 10g Database Server and want to backup all my database tables and records within (i.e creating another username inside the data and transfer them) and outside (i.e transfering them in another destination outside the database server) the database. Could you please instruct me on how to achieve?
I look forward to hearing from you all.
Thank you.
Jc

Hi, use RMAN utility
do this
rman target sys/*** nocatalog
run {
allocate channel t type disk;
backup
    format '/app/oracle/backup/%d_t%t_s%s_p%p'
      (database);
   release channel t;
{code
Also read backup and recovery guide at http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/backup.102/b14192/toc.htm

How to archive and Purge in Oracle 10g based on data

Hi,
Our requirement is that based on some rules stored in static tables we want to perform Archiving, purging and compression of data in Oracle 10g.
Can anyone guide me to proper information material for how to go about this?
Thanks!
Avinash.

Hi,
Thanks for the information.
But this traditional way of doing is archiving is for maintenance and backup operations.
We want to have this process online, without taking db offline. In this case will this approach work?
In our case, the rules can be like -
1. For table 'A', if rows exceed 10Million, then start archiving of the data for that table.
2. For table 'B', if data is older than 6 motnhs start archiving of the data for that table.
3. Archiving should be on for 15 minutes only after that should pause, and should resume whenever user wants to resume.
4. Archiving should start on specified days only... ETC...

Where do i see all the default tables and views in oracle 10g

hi,
I have installed oracle 10g in the linux os.
I just wanna see the list of deffault tables and views created by oracle.
can anyoone hlep me on this
thanx in advance....

Check DBA_OBJECTS for all seeded objects in an Oracle database. For tables, check DBA_TABLES. For views, check DBA_VIEWS. All of this is documented in the fine documentation - take some time out to read thru it.

Backing up all data and objects of Oracle 10g Express Edition...

Hi,
I have tables, packages, views, procedures, etc. in Oracle 10g Express Edition, running on Windows XP. I would like to create a backup of the complete database (objects, relationships, all data, etc) into a file that I can restore in case the database crashes.
What do I do?
Thanks.

markk2 wrote:
I am actually using it for Production. Yes, I would need objects and data.I would suggest to look at the Standard Edition as well if you are using it for production.
Is there a way to backup everything without data and then backup everything with data? Also, is there a way to restore everything without data and then restore everything with data?What's the meaning of "backup everything withiut data" and "then backup everything with data" ? The data is in the tables alone. The rest of the objects are not containing data but are using it, be it views, procedures etc. There is no such restore like without data. Without data, all what you would be getting would be structures of the tables which is going to be of no use. The export/import tool, is a simple tool which can put the tables (and other objects as well) along with their data in your dumpfile . In the situation of loss of a table, you can do an import from that dump file and you can restore the table back(with or without data, depends on the choice of yours while running Import command) . But this is just going to be a logical recovery of the object(s). For a complete database, it's better to use RMAN which would copy the datafiles and keep it with itself. Later, when you have a crash, you can restore those files to get teh database recovered. But if you want complete security, its better to put your db in the archive log and then do the backup along with the archive log files.

How to do this exactly? Thanks!

Data replication and synchronization in Oracle 10g XE.

We are trying to do data replication and synchronization sort of thing for all our servers. We are using Oracle 10g. XE. I guess there are some features in oracle already for replication but I am not very sure about them.
To explain it more clearly - we will have individual database servers in our sub-divisions and then divisions and centers and then main server. We need to synchronize at various levels. So If any body is aware of any techniques, please let me know.

Hi,
Could you tell me what exactly synchronisation your talking about..?
we will have individual database servers in our sub-divisions and then divisions >>and centers and then main serverIf you have mulitple DB servers then you can connect it by DB links. also if you are talking DB synchronisation then you can have Triggers,Materialized views.
we also have two independent severs which are synchronised(atleast schema levels).
Regards!
