Tuning Oracle10g

Hi All,
I am learning Oracle Memory Tuning and gone through some Performance Tuning Articles. My questions are:
- Since Oracle10g has Automatic Memory Management, once we specified Max SGA and MAX PGA what we need to tune in memory?
- Where can I get tuning examples with case scenarios?
Thanks & Regards,
Danish

Hi Danish,
Since Oracle10g has Automatic Memory Management, once we specified Max SGA and MAX PGA what we need to tune in memory?My company supports hundreds of databases, and I've noticed that while this "autoimated" memory management is OK for small databases, it may not be right for shops with a large or busy system. This is because AMM is "reactive", and waits until it detects a problem before addressing it. I have an alert here about it, how AMM resise operations can cause performance issues, in some cases:
http://www.dba-oracle.com/t_amm_automatic_memory_resize.htm
Oracle has an insatiable appetite for RAM, but there are diminishing marginal returns as you approach full caching.
Your goal is to give him enough RAM to hit the "sweet spot" of optimal pool sizes.
Oracle has pool advisory utilities that can assist you in this, check them out . . . .
Also, I wrote this note especially for people like you, who use AMM and want to tune RAM:
http://www.oracle-training.cc/t_amm_oracle_instance_tuning.htm
Since you are on 10g, I've collected numerous "gotchas" in 10g that you may find useful:
http://www.dba-oracle.com/t_slow_performance_after_upgrade.htm
Where can I get tuning examples with case scenarios?There are literally thousands of examples on the web. I would search like this, for Oracle RAM (or SGA) tuning examples:
http://www.google.com/search?&q=oracle+ram%7Csga+tuning+example
In sum, the best way to learn how to optimize RAM is to dive-in and get your feet wet!
Hope this helps . . .

  • Oracle10g cpu_count tuning

    Hello Gurus
    We have used the 10.2.0.4 Database
    OS : Red-hat Enterprise Linux Server-64bit
    CPU : 16 CPU processors
    RAM:16 GB RAM Size
    In our case we used the same box for oracle and application so how to tune the cpu_count properly?
    How to troubleshoot and diagnose that cpu_count require to be tuned?
    We had read the oracle database performance tuning guide but we didn't find any thing about the CPU_COUNT tuning

  • OEM ADDM & Tuning Pack

    Hi Friends,
    I'm evaluating the Oracle Diagnostic pack and tuning pack to compliment the already available standard SAP tool for tuning like st04/st03n,etc
    Few questions
    1. Anyone see the worth of the above 2 pack ?
    2.sto4 can show you only so much why certain read/write in DB is slow, will this be the better tool in market for diagnostics
    3. Anyone sees negative impact/ horror stories due to this?
    4. Oracle has improvised OEM in 11g and 10g significantly, any inputs on this and usage on RAC
    5. Any other great inputs are welcomed as well
    Thanks & Best Regards,
    Naren

    Hi Naren,
    From an Oracle DBA perspective, which is where am coming from, these tools are very helpful but because you are on SAP where you are really bound by SAP metrics, these are not going to be helpful to you because SAP recommendation supercedes Oracle's recommednation.
    Note also that these packs require a separate license. If you are not licensed to use it, you should not be using them. From Oracle10g onward, Oracle had a record everytime that you use the diagnostic pack. You should have gotten this warning the first time that you try and use the diagnostic pack.
    IMHO, most tuning are supposed to be coming from an application end and this is what most of the OEM reports will show you, the most expensive SQLs, you need to put index here and there, log switching, memory not enough etc. Most of these are already discussed in SAP notes. Additional indexes if ever one is identified, you will still have to get SAP Support to approve that, so what's the point?

  • Is Zero is the Automatic Value for fast_start_mttr_target in ORacle10g

    Dear Friends ,
    I am working in Oracle 10g . In Oracle 9i the default value of fast_start_mttr_target is 600 . Now my question is :
    In Oracle10g , is the '0' value is automatic recovery activities for fast_start_mttr_target (i.e., fast_start_mttr_target=0, here MTTR performs auto) ?
    Is it correct ?
    And also using the query , How can I measure the MTTR value :
    Estimate the value for FAST_START_MTTR_TARGET as follows:
    SELECT TARGET_MTTR,
    ESTIMATED_MTTR,
    CKPT_BLOCK_WRITES
    FROM V$INSTANCE_RECOVERY;
    TARGET_MTTR ESTIMATED_MTTR CKPT_BLOCK_WRITES
    103 12 169
    How can I measure MTTR terget using this value ? plz help .. ...

    "Unset" means 'not set, non-existent'.
    If you're using a text init.ora, you simply delete the line on which that parameter is set.
    If you're using a binary spfile, you issue the command
    alter system reset fast_start_mttr_target scope=spfile sid='*';
    Either way, you end up with the parameter physically not being specified in your configuration file. As opposed to it being set to a zero value, in which case it is physically present in the configuration file, set to a value which will switch off auto-tuning of checkpoints.
    You want it "not existing", not "existing but set to a value of zero".
    I'm afraid I don't know of any other way to explain the difference between non-existence and existence at value zero to you.
    One slight twist is that if the parameter does not exist in the spfile at all, a "show parameter fast_start_mttr_target" in SQL*Plus will show its value to be set to zero. For example:
    show parameter fast_start
    NAME                                 TYPE        VALUE
    fast_start_io_target                 integer     0
    fast_start_mttr_target               integer     0
    fast_start_parallel_rollback         string      LOWShowing a zero value because it is explicitly set to zero.
    alter system reset fast_start_mttr_target scope=spfile sid='*';
    System altered.
    show parameter fast_start
    NAME                                 TYPE        VALUE
    fast_start_io_target                 integer     0
    fast_start_mttr_target               integer     0
    fast_start_parallel_rollback         string      LOWShowing a zero value because it doesn't exist in the spfile at all (which is what the 'reset' command did for me.
    The only way I know to tell the difference between 'showing zero because it exists and it's been set to zero' and 'showing zero because it doesn't exist at all and zero happens to be the default value' is to try and delete the thing as shown above (with the alter system reset) command: if the parameter doesn't exist at all, and is showing a value of zero because that's merely the default value, then you'll get this error message displayed:
    alter system reset fast_start_mttr_target scope=spfile sid='*'
    ERROR at line 1:
    ORA-32010: cannot find entry to delete in SPFILE

  • Application Express performance - tuning required?

    We have recently implemented a new Application Express system running under Oracle10g on a Linux/RedHat 4 server (actually a Dell PowerEdge 2850 with 8gb RAM and twin 3gb CPU's). The application mostly flies but on odd days (increasingly) performance degrade to the point where a single refresh takes longer than 5 seconds. We only have about 10 users on the system and the database is shared between about 25 users. We have had the network checked and have ruled that out as it only peaks at about 1.6mbps over a 54mbps line. I have updated stats on the database too. Looking in Enterprise Manager the HTTP_Server is hardly doing anything, the database appears to be using hardly any CPU but the memry allocation line on EM seems to be running along at 8gb all the time. The server is bounced every weekend.
    The SQL is nearly all embedded in PL/SQL packages called from App. Ex. We have tried some of the parameter changes mentioned elsewhere in the forum, particularly changing the "keepAlive" parameter = off, from which we saw an immediate performance hike, but which then tailed away.
    Can anyone suggest where the problem might be and where I can start looking and tuning to improve the performance of our application. We want to roll it out much more widely but are worried it wont scale to many more users and performance will stop completely.
    Its all mighty puzzling so any help would be most welcome.

    Hi Jeremy,
    if you have again such a situation where everything is slow, run your page in debug mode to get some statistics what's taking long. If it is really the rendering of the page or if it is something else (eg network problems).
    Just rethought the above what I have written. You can immediately find out if the rendering sometimes really takes longer. Have a look at the dictionary view      APEX_WORKSPACE_ACTIVITY_LOG and the column ELAPSED_TIME. It will tell you how long it took to render the page. See if you really have peaks sometimes.
    If you don't have a peak there, you probably have more of an network or Apache problem.

    Hi Somil,
    I've just had this same error message, and it was because I had a bogus character in my JSP sources.  I'd cut-and-pasted the text from a Word document, and it included the "registered trademark" sign (an R in a circle) as a single character.  This worked in my test environment, but not in my production environment (where presumably the default encoding is different).  I replaced the character with the equivalent HTML entity &amp;reg; (ie. the five characters & r e g ; ) and it all worked.
    Have a look through the offending JSPs and see whether you have any characters that might be incompatible with your default encoding (anything that isn't plain old 7-bit ASCII is potentially a problem).  Change them to HTML entities and you should be fine.
    Hope this helps,
    Richie

    Hi,
    the plan you posted has the cost of 2300, i.e. 2300 single-block reads or equivalent number f multi-block reads. Even if none of the blocks is found in cache, 2300 reas shouldn't take more than a couple of minutes, beacause for most of the hard drives available today a disk read is typically within 5-10 ms.
    This means that if there is a problem, we will never find out about it by looking in the plan. And it's quite likely that there is, in fact, a problem, because the plan contains a bunch of nested joins, and the cost of each nested join is directly proportional to the cardinality of the previous nested loop. I.e. it suffices to make one bad mistake in estimating the number of rows coming fom one of the nested rows to screw up the entire plan and get all remaining estimates (including the total cost of the query) completely wrong.
    In order for us to be able to tell more, we need to see the plan with rowsource statistics, and please don't forget to use tags to preserve formatting (use the preview tab to make sure the posted plan is actually readable).

  • Can not open sqlplus on Oracle10g/OEL5.0

    I have installed an Oracle10g database on the OEL5.0 system (not encounter any errors) today. But after finishing the installation, I can not login the sqlplus.
    [root@localhost ~]# sqlplus
    bash: sqlplus: command not found.
    When I loged in to the Database Console--->Administration-->Users, it dispayed no accounts table and no any users listed there.
    What is the problem?
    Thank you

    [root@localhost ~]# sqlplus
    bash: sqlplus: command not found.I can see two problems here:
    1. You are using root account as default (bad practice)
    2. Shell environment. Your current setting is missing $ORACLE_HOME/bin in PATH variable. You probably set the environment for "oracle" user but I don't think you did the same for "root".

  • Can not connect to oracle10g release2 database On XP SP2. Help needed

    Hi! friends!
    I have used Oracle 8 and it was nice. I didn't run Oracle 9i.
    Now I installed Oracle10g R2 in WinXP-SP2. There was no problem in installation. But i can't run it. I get the Black SQL screen. But if i give some command it says "Not connected to database".
    Oracle 8 version had built in database "emp" and "sal". In start up username and password box used to come(scott/tiger). But here I don't know if there is any builtin database,even there is no place to input username/password. So i cant work with 10g.
    So i can't give command like Oracle 8
    select *
    from emp;
    I do not have any network in my Desktop PC.. pls help me how to run and test Oracle 10g database on my machine. Also tell the name of the built in database.
    I am much in trouble.
    I am wishing thanks in advance to all who will reply.

    In 10g database
    During installation is you choose "database creation" option then default database is created.
    database name is "ORCL"
    you can check in windows registry
    On command prompt
    cmd>net start
    if it is showing "OracleServiceORCL" then database is created"scott/tiger user is also created but in 10g it is LOCKED by default.
    so you have to first unlock this user.
    Now you can connect with "sys"or "system" but you know their password.
    in 10g there is no default password for sys or system, we have to mention during installation time.
    if you don't know then you can connect with sys like "SQL> CONN / AS SYSDBA" to sqlplus.

  • HOW TO: Post a SQL statement tuning request - template posting

    This post is not a question, but similar to Rob van Wijk's "When your query takes too long ..." post should help to improve the quality of the requests for SQL statement tuning here on OTN.
    On the OTN forum very often tuning requests about single SQL statements are posted, but the information provided is rather limited, and therefore it's not that simple to provide a meaningful advice. Instead of writing the same requests for additional information over and over again I thought I put together a post that describes how a "useful" post for such a request should look like and what information it should cover.
    I've also prepared very detailed step-by-step instructions how to obtain that information on my blog, which can be used to easily gather the required information. It also covers again the details how to post the information properly here, in particular how to use the \ tag to preserve formatting and get a fixed font output:
    http://oracle-randolf.blogspot.com/2009/02/basic-sql-statement-performance.html
    So again: This post here describes how a "useful" post should look like and what information it ideally covers. The blog post explains in detail how to obtain that information.
    In the future, rather than requesting the same additional information and explaining how to obtain it, I'll simply refer to this HOW TO post and the corresponding blog post which describes in detail how to get that information.
    *Very important:*
    Use the \ tag to enclose any output that should have its formatting preserved as shown below.
    So if you want to use fixed font formatting that preserves the spaces etc., do the following:
    \   This preserves formatting
    \And it will look like this:
       This preserves formatting
       . . .Your post should cover the following information:
    1. The SQL and a short description of its purpose
    2. The version of your database with 4-digits (e.g. 10.2.0.4)
    3. Optimizer related parameters
    4. The TIMING and AUTOTRACE output
    5. The EXPLAIN PLAN output
    6. The TKPROF output snippet that corresponds to your statement
    7. If you're on 10g or later, the DBMS_XPLAN.DISPLAY_CURSOR output
    The above mentioned blog post describes in detail how to obtain that information.
    Your post should have a meaningful subject, e.g. "SQL statement tuning request", and the message body should look similar to the following:
    *-- Start of template body --*
    The following SQL statement has been identified to perform poorly. It currently takes up to 10 seconds to execute, but it's supposed to take a second at most.
    This is the statement:
    select
    from
             t_demo
    where
             type = 'VIEW'
    order by
             id;It should return data from a table in a specific order.
    The version of the database is 11.1.0.7.
    These are the parameters relevant to the optimizer:

    I'm sure that if you follow these instructions and obtain the information described, post them using a proper formatting (don't forget about the \ tag) you'll receive meaningful advice very soon.
    So, just to make sure you didn't miss this point:Use proper formatting!
    If you think I missed something important in this sample post let me know so that I can improve it.

    can't reproduce, does it still look unformatted? Or are you simply kidding? :-)

    PS: Just noticed that it actually sometimes doesn't show the proper formatting although the code tags are there. Changing to the \ tag helped in this case, but it seems to be odd.

  • Oracle10g Developer Suite - Application Development - SQL Plus Login Info

    I have installed Oracle10g Developer Suite and when I am trying to login into the sql*plus environment the username scott with the passcode tiger is not working. I have Oracle9i Enterprise Edition Release 9.2.0.1.0 as the database.
    Can anyone help me in setting up the username and password to login into Sql*plus Release 10.1.0.4.2

    It sounds like you may be new to Oracle and its products. I would recommend doing some reading.
    Oracle 9.2 Net Services Admin Guide
    http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/network.920/a96580/toc.htm
    Oracle Developer Suite Installation Guide
    http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B25016_06/doc/dl/core/B16012_03/toc.htm
    You create the "login" information when you install the database. If you are not the person who performed the installation, you will need to contact them or install it again. Also, be aware that the SCOTT schema is disabled by default in newer database versions for security reasons.
    The tnsnames.ora and sqlnet.ora files can be found in the ORACLE_HOME\network\admin directory. This is the same for all Oracle products that use Sql-Net for database connections. You can also use the TNS_ADMIN environment variable to point to a pre-existing tnsnames.ora file (see previously mentioned documents).
    The tnsnames.ora entry will be unique to your database and its listener however here is an example:
    ORCL =
    (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = someServer.com)(PORT = 1521))
    (CONNECT_DATA =
    (SERVICE_NAME = orcl)
    )

    Hang-
    I have a work around I kind of stumbled onto..
    http://members.aol.com/unkie/GB3-pict-2.gif
    After you select the Real Instrument track you'd like to correct the pitch or timing of, you hit the "I" for track information, then you can click on the region arrow,(?) and the Enhancing area opens up properly.
    Check out the picture linked above, and below I will place the before shot link..
    The preference not coming up seems to be linked to using iChat, believe it or not..
    I read it here in the forum.
    If you open iChat, and then Garageband 3, your preference pane may not open up, until you reboot your computer.
    Strange but true..
    HangTime, Thanks for "Hanging" in there with me through this dilemma..
    Take Care,
    Eric

    Linux uses Swap space to run applications. The RAM available may not be enough to run the applications so OS swaps the program between RAM and the swap space to run applications.
    You can see your swap partition being used as the swap space with:
    cat /proc/swaps
