Slow Database Response

Dear All,
I am looking if any one can advise me how to test database why it is slow? I have production database 9i under Windows 2003 Server 32-bit. Application front-end has become slower as each time it reads database. Database response is slower. Could any one let me know how to test and make sure database is slower and what possible steps should be taken to make database faster. Re-building indexes is also a possible option.
Can any one please let me know indetail?
Thanks

Hi,
What about the server, is it loaded ? Is the CPU loaded, is there enough RAM and/or SWAP ?
Recently we had the same problem with customer with Oracle10g on Windows 2003 server. After the database was working for few weeks it started to respond very slow. Statistics were up to date, indexes were rebuild, but the database was still very slow. Finally we restarted the server and the database was like new. We figure out that by some reason there were some memory leaks or other problem related to the Windows OS and after restarting the server the problem was gone. Since then the server is restarted every two-three weeks "just in case".

Slow database access across network

I have a postgresql database setup on a server machine and have written a java program in netbeans that accesses it. The problem i have is that running the jar created by netbeans from any other machine on the network has really slow database access but running the program from netbeans itself is fine. Running the jar on the server machine is also fine.
Anyoner got any idea as to why this could be?

I don't know if this will help, I'm just wading into writing my own java apps to hit a SQL 2K db. We purchased a SQL2k/JSP driven backend on which we extended their OM to meet our needs. It was build as an extranet product but ran very poorly across the 'Net.
The biggest annoyance was not the actual transaction time of the app but the time it took from the end user to click a button and the start of the transaction.
After much testing I determined it was the JSP.
So what we have done to alieviate the issue is to have multiple regional Tomcats that 'throw' their transactions to a central colocation where the SQL servers sit (so the tomcats do the JSP managment in a sense locally to the end user) . For big clients we actually place a linux/tomcat box at the edge of their firewall. For whatever reason, I'm far too busy to determine the how now that I get the responses I need, this has completely eradicated the annoying pause between user interaction and the actual transaction to the DB server. Extended testing showed the SQL server running in the sub half second range to process a command but the tomcat rendering could take up to 2 to 5 seconds in worst case for no discernable reason. Moving the tomcat frontends to the network segment where the clients we solved it.
Of course I'm digging into swing now too and it has some slowness that the Eclipse zealots say SWT fixes but I haven't the depth or experience to properly judge the camps arguments yet.

Long database response time during hot backup

Hello,
We are running Oracle 10g R2 on AIX 5.3. Our database is approximately 20G in size.
Our users are running applications which are highly sensitive to database response times. So any significant delay in database response time(say about more than 5 seconds) has serious impact on the user applications.
Everyday we take online backups using RMAN and we recently discovered that during the online backup process we are experiencing a serious performance problems at certain periods. For example a typical query which normally takes ~0.5 secods for database to respond takes about >30 seconds for several times during the process. to observe the problem more clearly we also wrote some test scripts which make random queries to the database to measure any delays in response times, and seen that we are getting late responses at several occasions(which normally never happen even when we run the script for a day without running RMAN online backup).
We have gone through IBM's whitepaper on "Tuning AIX for Oracle" and seen that there isn't any misconfiguration that would have bad impact on oracle performance on the AIX side.
Also we have gone throught the following:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/deploy/availability/pdf/rman_performance_wp.pdf
http://www.oracle.com/technology/deploy/availability/pdf/br_optimization.pdf
http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/backup.102/b14191/rcmtunin.htm#sthref1057
We normally take our backups to tape drive. In order to test for any I/O bottlenecks we experimented by taking the backups to the disk drive. We have tried DURATION and MINIMIZE LOAD parameters, and also tried setting the RATE parameter to very low values(about 2M/s which normally reaches to about 100M/s) which resulted in total elapsed time for backups to increase from 30 mins to about 4-5 hours. And we came to find out that there is no improvement about the issue in any of these scenarios.
Also we ran the ADDM reports which claimed I/O bottleneck with about 20% impact on the system, so we tried decreasing I/O using the RATE parameter and then ADDM said "low I/O bottleneck".
Database responsiveness is a vital for our system. What measures can we take to avoid such slowness?
Thanks.

Hello,
Isn't there anything we can do about it? the application software is working almost real-time with the database and cannot tolerate long delays(with which I mean something longer than 5 seconds) due to the nature of the the system.
I wonder if there are any other methods to decrease the online backup load on the system.
Thanks for the response.

Slow program response, crashes when creating titles and dynamic link issues

Dear reader,
I am now trialling Adobe CC OSX with Premiere Pro and After Effects before deciding to subscribe but I am experiencing a lot of issues while working.
I am now working on an animation, but editing raw mxf files also gives crashes and slow responses/ program refreshes.
1) Slow mouse response
2) Slow program refresh while key framing visuals
3) Rendering in PP is extremely slow when AE is open in the background, when closing AE and re-initiate the render in PP it renders super fast
4) Crashes. When I overlay titles in my time line PP regularly crashes
5) Dynamic Link issues when working combined in AE and PP where file connections in the time line get lost when the AE project has too many sequences
I am curious to find out if other people are also experiencing these issues.
I am indecisive in getting the paid yearly plan or move to FCPX instead? Or should I get a new MacPro and is this model too old?
It worked fine 2 months ago, however I was still working on FCP7. After updating it is really bad working with it...
My system consist of:
MacPro mid-2010
OSX 10.9.5 (13F34) (new installation)
2x2,66Ghz 6-core Intel Xeon
24GB DDR3 ECC
Nvidia Quadro K5000, 4GB
2x PCIe SSD 1TB
2x HDD 3TB
2x HDD 2TB
Feedback is much appreciated! Best regards, Alexander

this does work for basic colour correction but not when trying to grade an entire suqence to achieve a specific style, applying a vingette or certain effects have to be done in after effects.
I want to try and get my whole sequence into after effects but preserve the edits and effects added in permier pro, is there any way to do this?

How to Get DataBase response back to DB adapter

Hi ,
I have a requirment as below.
1)I have configured a database adapter for updating a record in table using the pure SQL option .Once the record is updated sucessfully I need to get response from Database as Zero records updated or 1 row updated.
How can I get that database response back to my Database adpter. I have to implement this at OSB .
Awaiting for a Response ASAP.
Regards
Vikram

Hi,
As insert on DB is a one way operation. You can check when you created the DB adapter , with pure SQL statement the XSD was not having any return element created in it.
In OSB you will need to use publish action for pushing data into the DB as service callout will not work.
One more thing you can do, use route node to insert data through BS , this will ultimately make sure that error is returned back (when insert fails) .
Thanks,
Durga

Sql queries - slow database

hi all,
is there a general but specific way to generate a list of sql queries that are consuming most resources and resulting in slow database performance?
thanks.

There are very few ways in this world that are "general but specific".
You can use "general" tools like StatsPack and AWR.
You can write "general" queries on V$SQL, V$SQLAREA, V$SQLSTATS.
You can use "specific" methods like Tracing.
You can use "specific" methods like Client side (or Application Server side) Logs.

XY Graph slow in response

Hi All,
I have 2 XY graphs in my VI and for some reason 1 XY is super slow in response. I have attached my vi here which demonstrates the behavior.
There are 2 XY graphs. The one on the top is super slow in response and the one below behaves normally.
Could anyone please look at the vi and let me know whats the problem with the slow graph?
Thanks,
Ritesh

That is definitely a valid suggestion, because ot drops the graph data by 50%. Here's a quick draft.

Adobe Premiere CC slow in response

Hi,
I recently upgarded to Adobe Premiere Pro CC and I notice that it is very slow in response and there is like 10 seconds lag for every step I do. I notice my computer goes up to 30 percent of workload. The problem arises when I am going from one sequence to another sequence, it lags or copy something in a sequence and then it lags. I have been using CC for 4 months and I did not have a problems with CS6. But this really annoys me.
My computer specs:
CPU i7-920 3.6gHz OC
48 GB of RAM @ 1466Mhz
Quadro K5000 with latest drivers
5x2TB at RAID 5
250gb OS SSD around 140 free space
120gb SSD - Around 40 free.
My cache drive was 120gB SSD, even I change the cache drive to RAID5 drives, it doesn't make a difference.
Now, when I export to render to Adobe media encoder, it takes 10sec. It used to take a sec to do that with CS6.
Is there something I could change in the settings that would make premiere pro faster in response?
I am looking forward for your reply.

I am having the same problem! Interestingly my Sony VAIO Duo 13 Ultrabook is pretty light on it's feet with Premiere but my custom built NLE frequently runs into these problems.
The result is that I can often load a project faster in the ultrabook and some projects I can actually edit faster!!? The ultrabook has a satisfyingly powerful Corei7 but no serious graphics capabilities to speak of, so rendering is software only and it bogs down a lot when working with compressed formats like AVHCD. I got it just to use it's Wacom digitizer for Photoshop and Illustrator but on my last video, I got frustrated with my desktop NLE machine and cut it on my tiny laptop. (Did it in the car on a road trip. Fun to be able to! But vastly less than ideal for anything very professional.)
My problem is that Once my desktop NLE is running, it can churn through very complex native editing like a dream. It's just that every time I need to change what the program is doing, it takes an exceedingly long time to load new components of the program, i.e. bringing up an effects panel or the audio mixer. My assumption is that once everything the program needs is loaded into ram, there is no problem, but the program is somehow interfering with computers reading and writing to the C: drive where the program is held. Maybe it is creating is some issue with ram caching to the C: drive that is slowing things down. After working with Premiere the problem persists and it takes equally long to open other programs. I had similar problems this summer with the CS6 AVHCD bug in this thread. This is not as bad, but seems very similar in its manifestation. There is no longer any connection to any one codec. Instead, the problem seems to emerge as Premiere has been running for a while. Or after opening Premiere, closing it and then reopening with out a system restart in between. A project imported from Final Cut Pro 6 via XML was particularly problematic, but the problem is sporadic so it was hard to tell if it was that or just a couple of bad days.
Any help or advice would be very much appreciated.
Here are my specs:
Windows 8 Pro x64
Intel Core i7-3770K 3.50GHz
RAM: 16 GB
Graphics: GTX 660 ti
Motherboard: ASUS P8Z77-V PRO Thunderbolt
C: drive: OCZ-Vertex 4 (120GB / 45 free)
D: drive: Contains Premiere Projects (16TB, RAID 0, 4 SATA3 drives on Intel Rapid Storage Chipset)
E: drive: Contains User Folders (1TB SATA3)

Very Slow Site Response

Dear All,
I would like to say thanks for all.
Let me explain our environment first then move on to the queries.
Environment: We have one SharePoint 2013 application VM
windows 2012 server, two web front end VM Windows 2012 server and dedicated SQL physical server. The SP VM has 2*vCPU (2core) and 16 GB of physical memory, DB has 2*CPU (8core) and 16GB of RAM. All servers are connected via 1 GB connection. Intranet
is connected via 100 Mb link and for internet via 5Mbps ISP.
Farm Configuration:
Both front end servers had Managed metadata service and distributed cache service
Application server had CA (basic service) and managed metadata service, there was no excel, Visio and other service.
Site: We are developed custom webpart and all other stuff
like design at all. The average page size is 1.5Mb. The site was extended to intranet and internet (anonymous) zones. We are already configured BLOB cache, object cache and output cache.
Clarification & Queries:
While we are doing the load test in intranet site by 300 Concurrent user in the LAN (i.e 100 Mbps). It getting very slow and "Service Unavailable" error. Please, why
the servers are not supporting 300 concurrent users?
While we are performing the test, the network traffics are received from client (test agent) to WFE and send to DB. Please, Why the page cache and object caches are working or not?
If the site will opened to internet, how the site and server are react to users?
Please give us you needful help.
FYR please look on to the load test summary https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/getfile/579571
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Sathiya

1) As a rule of thumb a SharePoint server can support in the region of 100 active users per SharePoint server. 300 is within the realm of expectations, depending on test content and definitions of active. You haven't mentioned the CPU load or the amount
of memory paging you're seeing on the servers during the test. I would expect them to be maxed out on one or more of your servers? Note that RAM load isn't directly helpful as SharePoint is a greedy application and may be using all of it at very low load levels.
2) Caching reduces the traffic but does not eliminate it. You're looking in the wrong place to see if the page cache is active. From memory you need to examine HTTP headers to verify if page caching is active or not.
3) In what sense?
4) No problem.
The link you posted is broken.
Finally you describe this in the title as 'very slow site response' which is not what you're describing in the text (fairly well) which is better described as a lower than hoped level of concurrency. Are you also getting slow response times at lower load?
Really finally: You've posted this in the wrong forum, this is a search specialist sub forum. You would get more notice and assistance in the general forum for this thread. Hopefully a moderator can move it for you...

PowerPoint 2010 - slow typing response

I've tried several things that have been suggested - turning off spell check as you type did nothing. Seems the problem is related to opening existing files - don't have this slowness issue when I open PPT and start a new presentation.

The problem is POOR coding by the Microsoft Office Developers.
I know the exact issue here and why some have no problems on new presentations but later they are bad. This is not a printer driver issue. This is not because you are editing existing files. This is not a backgrounds issue - this is an issue with the preview
thumbnail pane.
I don't know what it is actually called but it is the little pane on the left side that shows you the thumbnail view of all of your slides. If you close this pane then you will have slow keyboard response. If you have it open then everything works fine.
This was not a problem in previous versions of PowerPoint so this is clearly some stupid enhancement the idiot developers caused in the new version.
Again, open and keep open the preview/thumbnail view of slides and you will be able to type fast, without a delay. If you hide it, then you will have slow performance. This is why people don't see the problem on new presentations because that typically opens
with the thumbnail pane open and so it looks like you are typing fine. But then when people use existing presentations where most people hide that thumbnail panel, it looks like you have slow performance.
I can't find anywhere on Micro$ucks site on how to tell them to fix this so this is the only place I can post. They are total idiots that don't every check their products before they roll them out so I'm not surprised by this. The quality control is awful.
Try making a graphics slide that has a bunch of lines/text/shapes/etc and then do a select all and group it and then try to copy/paste that selection to another slide and you will sometimes see the text all messed up, or lines out-of-place. This was not an
issue in previous PowerPoints but 2010 screwed up a lot of stuff and stuff that should have easily been checked by beta testers because they are fundamental to the product. PATHETIC.

Slow keystroke response

The Iphone 3G rocks but one thing I have noticed on the new version is that occasionally I get slow keyboard responses when texting or emailing and have to resort to rebooting the phone. It seems to happen after playing games mainly. When the issue occurs its frustrating and takes the fun out of texting etc.
Has anyone else experienced this problem and more importantly does anyone know of a fix?

See the thread below for more issues with slow response (contacts, accerometer):

My iPad 2 is very slow in response, please suggest

My iPad 2 32gb is very slow in response, It's used by my daughter. and has lots apps installed. and had 6gb still unused. If i click on any apps, it takes 2-3 minutes to load. Any app. please suggest how to improve performance.

1. There may be a download stuck in another area such as a song or podcast that is preventing the app from updating.
Go to the iTunes app on your iPad. Check to see if you have any downloads pending there. That pending download may be blocking app updates. If so, delete the item. That may get the app installation going again.
2. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
Then tap the App Store > Updates

Statspack for slow database

Guys,
This is my first time i generated a statspack report as the users were complaining slow response from datbase.
This report is taken when the reports that takes a long time were run.
This is my statspack report.

Hi,
FYI, some tuning guru's are developing an open source free tool to help analyze STATSPACK and AWR reports, which is helpful to beginners:
http://www.statspackanalyzer.com
Also, It may be be a good idea to publish your prouction SQL here (or anywhere else). I've seen DBA's get canned for disclosing proprietary details about their employers database . . . .
Also, a short duration snapshot is not so bad, and I often do on minute snaps when diagnosing a system. Anyhow, here are some observations from SP analyzer:
Hope this helps. . . .
Donald K. Burleson
Author of "Oracle 9i High Performance Tuning with STATSPACK" by Oracle Press
You have enabled system-level parallel query. This can influence the cost-based optimizer to favor full-table scans over index access. Consider using parallel hints instead, or invoking parallelism at the session level.
You may have an application issue causing excessive rollbacks with 47.62% rollbacks per transaction. Due to Oracle´s assumption of a commit, the rollback process is very expensive and should only be used when necessary. You can identify the specific SQL and user session that is executing the rollbacks by querying the v$sesstat view.
Remember that some applications may automatically perform rollback operations (commit-then-rollback or rollback-then-exit) after each commit. If this is the case, speak with your application developers to find out if there is a way to disable this. While these "empty rollbacks" do not incur performance expense, it will case this metric to appear very high.
You have high latch free waits of 1.3 per transaction. The latch free wait occurs when the process is waiting for a latch held by another process. Check the later section for the specific latch waits. Latch free waits are usually due to SQL without bind variables, but buffer chains and redo generation can also cause them.
You have 27,717.0 consistent gets examination per second. "Consistent gets - examination" is different than regular consistent gets. It is used to read undo blocks for consistent read purposes, but also for the first part of an index read and hash cluster I/O.
You have 203,044 table fetch continued row actions during this period. Migrated/chained rows always cause double the I/O for a row fetch and "table fetch continued row" (chained row fetch) happens when we fetch BLOB/CLOB columns (if the avg_row_len > db_block_size), when we have tables with > 255 columns, and when PCTFREE is too small. You may need to reorganize the affected tables with the dbms_redefintion utility and re-set your PCTFREE parameters to prevent future row chaining.
You have 1.1 long table full-table scans per second. This might indicate missing indexes, and you can run plan9i.sql to identify the specific tables and investigate the SQL to see if an index scan might result in faster execution. If your large table full table scans are legitimate, look at optimizing your db_file_multiblock_read_count parameter.
You have high small table full-table scans, at 1.7 per second. Verify that your KEEP pool is sized properly to cache frequently referenced tables and indexes.
You are not using your KEEP pool to cache frequently referenced tables and indexes. This may cause unnecessary I/O. When configured properly, the KEEP pool guarantees full caching of popular tables and indexes. Remember, an average buffer get is often 100 times faster than a disk read.
Any table or index that consumes > 10% of the data buffer, or tables & indexes that have > 50% of their blocks residing in the data buffer should be cached into the KEEP pool. You can fully automate this process using scripts.

Exchange 2010 Slow Database Mount Time - Almost 1 Hour

Hello -
We have 2 DAG nodes on the production site running EX2010 SP3 RU6
In preparation for Windows patching I moved the active copy of DB2 active from EX2 to EX1, this took approx 20 seconds as per usual
Patching happened, and EX2 got a reboot
Later that evening I moved the active copy of DB2 back from EX1 to EX2
The move took 59 minutes and 32 seconds
During which time the DB status showed as mounting on EX2 and mailboxes where inaccessible [luckily this was out of hours]
The DB is 185 GB with 4 GB of logs at that time
There weren't ESE events related to playing transaction logs
There have been ESE 629 events in the log for a while showing... "While attempting to move to the next or previous node in a B-Tree, the database skipped over 25583 non-visible nodes in 73 pages... The database may benefit from widening the online maintenance
window..." but these warnings show up really quickly on our site even with a new database
We also have a problem that emerged approx 2 weeks ago where CPU runs at 100% for prolonged periods [mainly store.exe for 10/20/30 mins] and people get slow response times in Outlook, it's running on 4 x vCPU's and 18 GB RAM
Could the really slow mount time be related to DB corruption?
Thanks

Thanks for the feedback
This is not related to a dirty shutdown
According to Get-MailboxDatabaseCopyStatus etc all DB copies are healthy
I tested the DB activation again last night
Mailbox Database 2 is normally active on EX2
So we made the copy on EX1 active [server is on the same network] and this took 3 secs
When it came to making the same DB active on EX2 again it took 1 hr 46 mins 34 seconds!
We ran the task from EMC and the GUI did not hang, all the while it kept counting the hours, minutes & seconds
During this time mailboxes were unavailable, and the DB status showed as Mounting in EMC
From the Event Log, when ESE event 326 is finally logged there are some timings…
Internal Timing Sequence: [1] 0.000, [2] 0.000, [3] 0.031, [4] 0.000, [5] 0.000, [6] 0.094, [7] 0.000, [8] 6386.578,
[9] 0.016, [10] 0.000, [11] 0.000, [12] 0.047.
And step 8 [whatever that is] took 6386 seconds while everything else flew
Of the 2 other Mailbox DB’s… DB1 took 7 seconds to activate on EX2 and DB3 took 32 minutes 41 seconds
Any ideas what is going on?
Thanks

Will the problems I am having with slow Safari response times continue if I port the image of my 4 to an new iphone 5?

As in many families, I am ready to upgrade my iphone 4 to a 5 and pass on my 4 to my partner (who has my old 3), BUT I am resistant to do so because I have been having problems with Safari, (very slow response time) ever since I upgraded to the new OS a month or so back. I have completed all the cleaning tips (cookies, individual app shut downs) and hard boot steps with no change. I can sit my partners Iphone 3 next to my 4 and when using Safari it beats it hands down, almost doubling the time it takes on the 3. My 4 is quicker on all the other apps so I don't believe it is a hardware issue. My tests were done using our home wi fi set up the same on both phones after running all the cleaning tips on both.
I actually broke down and called the support line and the first level support told me if I upgraded to the 5 I would likely carry the problem to the new phone. She said she suspected malware or a virus and that for $300 she could forward me to second level support that could scan my phone and see what the problem is on my 4 and support any issues on a new iphone 5 OR for a one time lower fee $79, just help me fix my 4.
Thinking through her options, I chose none of the above. Seems like I should be able to either 1) isolate the issue myself with the help of this forum or 2) upgrade to the iphone 5 and if the problem follows to the new one, get the support via the new device warranty. If the support person is correct and the problem is in the software and would follow the device, then in theroy I could wipe and restore my old 4 with the back up/data of my partners 3 and the problem on the 4 should be resolved.
I really don't want to carry the problem to a new phone if I can fix the issue first. I have airwatch software to push my work email to my phone and that is usually a pain to do when I upgrade anyhow. I don't need to pay for a new phone that has the same problem as my old one. I will get grief from my partner for passing on an issue that will come up with the daily use of the old iphone 4 that I will be responsible to fix anyhow. I have invested too much time already to generate problems on both our phones. Thanks in advance for any tips or guideance about a streamlined way forward.

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Has any of this been tried?
FYI, there are no viruses that affect iOS unless the device has been hacked or jailbroken, in which case they cannot be discussed here.
