When does oracle write into datafile

Hi,
I have the following doubt, when does oracle server process write the data into datafiles,
is it done after the commit statement or is it done only when the session is closed or is it done only when the database is closed???

  • How does oracle write to datafiles in a tablespace?

    hi all
    Suppose I have a tablespace consisting of two datafiles. When I need to wirte data onto it，how does ORACLE
    write ? Does it initially write to the first datafile and then write to the second datafile when the first datafile getting full or write to two datafiles in an random manner?
    Thanks for your reply.

    hi all
    I have read reply in reponse to thread "tablespaces or datafile " and testcase in that thread shows that ORACLE will write to datafiles in round-robin manner.
    But my test show totally different result:
    SQL>
    SQL> create tablespace ts_maoxl
    2 datafile '/crash/oradata/TESTDB/datafile/1.bdf' size 5m,
    3 '/crash/oradata/TESTDB/datafile/2.bdf' size 5m
    4 EXTENT MANAGEMENT LOCAL;
    Tablespace created
    SQL>
    SQL> create table maoxl(id char(2000),id3 char(2000),id2 char(2000)) tablespace ts_maoxl;
    Table created
    SQL>
    SQL> declare
    2 begin
    3 for i in 0..99 loop
    4 insert into maoxl values('x','y','z');
    5 end loop;
    6 commit;
    7 end;

  • Upon commit, lgwr writes to redo logs but dbwr does not write to datafiles

    Guys,
    Upon issuing a commit statement, in which scenarios, the lgwr only writes to redo logs but the dbwr does not at all write to the datafiles?
    Thanx.

    The default behaviour is - on Commit, the lgwr writes to the redo logs immediately, but it may not get immediately written to the datafiles by the dbwr, but sooner or later it would (based on certain conditions). The only situation, which I can think of, when dbwr may not be able to write is datafiles is when the databases crashes, after the commit and before the DBWR could write to the datafiles.
    Not sure, what you are exactly looking for, but hope this helps.
    Thanks

  • When does oracle use a complete nested loop join?

    Hi!
    Does Oracle Database use a complete nested loop join? I mean, imagine 2 tables without any indexes.. is there any case where for each row in the outer table Oracle does a complete scan in the inner table? I know that this is the original algorithm for the nested loop join, but some data bases prefer to make a temp table to autoindex the inner table and never makes the complete scan in the inner table..
    thanks!!

    user12040235 wrote:
    If the table do not have indexes.. some data bases prefer to scan one time the inner table, to index all values, and than, for every row in the outter loop table, it will do a index search.
    I just like to know oracle does the same thing, or it does the complete scan..If you have two tables without indexes, Oracle may consider scanning one table, extracting the smallest data set it can get away with, and then building a hash table of that data set (rather than creating an in-memory copy with index). At this point Oracle can then do a nested loop join into the in-memory hash table.
    However, this is called a hash join, and the order of tables will appear to be reversed, viz:
    nested loop
        table scan full ABC
        table scan full XYZ
    {code]
    becomeshash join
    table scan full XYZ
    table scan full ABC
    See: http://jonathanlewis.wordpress.com/2010/08/02/joins/ as a starting point if you want to read more on this topic.

  • How and when does oracle changes the object status on a view?

    I have HR schema and AWARD schema. AWARD schema has views referencing the base tables in HR. Whenever I refresh HR the dependant views on AWARD becomes invalid. I recompile those views after the refresh.
    Could anyone explain the internals of this object status change process? How does my AWARD schema sense the invalid status? Why it is not re-establishing the status after the data import?

    I refresh HR test instance from production. If you are not so sure about this process...here is what happens ....export production HR schema, drop all the objects from HR test and import the production data into HR test.
    I am not worried about what is happening but would like to understand the internal process (beyond the basics).

  • When does Oracle stop providing CPU for 11gR1?

    Oracle will stopping provide CPU for 10.2 in July 2011. We are debating whether we should upgrade 10.2 to 11gR1 or 11gR2.
    11gR2 requires a Kernal Version released in 2008, but the current server OS only has the 2006 version. SA wants to wait for the OS patch. Then, the only option for us DBA would be to upgrade to 11gr1 which is supported by the current OS. It makes sense if Oracle provides CPU for 11gR1 for a while. I have been trying to find out the de-supporting time, but to no avail. If this information is available, please help me out.
    Thanks,
    Jasmine

    Not a problem, but perhaps not optimal to my way of thinking.
    If you have a service contract, you normally can open any number of service requests without additional fees. And questions like you have are legitimate. (Although the Oracle Support community does respond to these questions a LOT faster than to SRs.)

  • When does Oracle throw the ORA-00060 , Deadlock error

    Hi,
    To test the "ORA-00060: Deadlock detected" we tried the below steps on scott schema.
    First session -
    update emp set sal=9999 where name='JACK';
    Second session -
    update emp set sal=5555 where name='JACK';
    We used the below query to find out which SID is locking the other;
    select l1.sid, ' IS BLOCKING ', l2.sid from v$lock l1, v$lock l2 where l1.block =1 and l2.request > 0 and l1.id1=l2.id1 and l1.id2=l2.id2;
    -- We got the SID's
    But in the alert log we are still not able to see the ORA-00060 error.
    Why is this ? In which scenario do we see the ORA-00060 error in alert log ?
    Please guide.
    Thanks.

    What you describe is just a blocking lock, not a deadlock.
    The first session can simply do commit and the second session can then continue.
    In a deadlock situation, nobody can commit if the system does not resolve the problem by rolling back one of the transactions:
    session1: lock row 1
    session 2: lock row 2
    session 1: try lock row 2 <- wait on session 2
    session 2: try lock row 1 <- wait on session 1
    both wait, enter ORA-600

  • How does oracle initialize datafile?

    Hi,
    Does anyone know how oracle initialize a datafile? In the following command, does oracle writes zeros to the 5MB datafile?
    # create tablespace test_ts datafile '/u01/oracle/data.dbf' size 500M;
    Thanks,
    R-

    Hi,
    With two consecutive posts stating that the 0's aren't really 0's I feel the need to check my results, so now I reproduced my test case but now with a 300M datafile, it took nearly 80 seconds in my OEL 5.2 (VMWare Workstation), then I checked the contents with bvi and after the header only 0's, then shred again (it took less than 10 seconds) and then bvi again and the contents are random data. Then I created the tablespace again, well assuming the file is already created and it's only a matter of marking in some place that the contents should be interpreted as "empty" space without actually zeroing the file, the creation of the datafile reusing the already existing datafile should take a few seconds, but really took the same 80 seconds it took the first time, so or Oracle is really slow creating the header or it's actually zeroing the contents (or delegating this task to the OS, I don't know). Now I see you're talking about an ascii 0 (hex 30) and I'm talking about a hex 0 (null), in that case yes, they aren't ascii 0's. Then to sumarize, the OP asked if Oracle writes zeros to the datafile and my answer is: when the datafile is create Oracle formats the contents writing zeros, but hex zeros not ascii zeros, the blocks actually don't contain user info but they're now prepared to receive it.
    Enrique
    PS: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hex_editor
    >
    By using a hex editor, a user can see or edit the raw and exact contents of a file as opposed to the interpretation of the same content that other, higher level application software may associate with the file format. For example, this could be raw image data, in contrast to the way image editing software would interpret the same file.>

  • I put my ipod touch in DFU mode, but when I plug it into my computer the restore your ipod alert does not come up in itunes. What can/should I do?

    I have been on the Apple Support page for several hours now and cannot find my exact circumstance and other suggestions have yet to help me. I purchased a locked ipod touch and when I plug it into my laptop itunes says "Itunes could not connect to ipod because it is locked with a passcode". The guy I bought it from told me the password but I failed to write it down and remember it and he has since moved so I can't find him. I have tried putting it in DFU mode and I can get it there, but then Itunes does not show the pop-up that everyone has said will come up with the alert about an ipod trying to restore itself so I cannot get it to do so. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks,
    AM

    When in DFU mode and connected to the computer iTunes does not say anything but iTunes will see the iPod and you can restore the iPod via iTunes. When in recovery mode and you connect, iTunes will say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

    Hi Stephen,
    What version of MS Office are you using?
    Are you facing the issue similar to that mentioned here: Acrobat/Reader: Attach to Email button not working for PDFs referenced from long URLs
    Open Acrobat. Use the click-path Edit - Preferences - select the Category "Email Accounts". In the dialog there is the "Add Account" drop-down. Select "Add Other". The "Add Webmail Account" dialog presents. You'll fill out the dialog's fields with Outlook.com settings. (don't forget the "Advance Settings" button)
    From a look-see on the web it appears that the following are the needed settings. BUT, you'll be wanting to validate.
    The Outlook.com SMTP server settings for sending outgoing messages from an email program on desktop, cell phone or mobile device are:
    • Outlook.com SMTP server address: smtp.live.com
    • Outlook.com SMTP user name: Your full Outlook.com email address (not an alias)
    • Outlook.com SMTP password': Your Outlook.com password
    • Outlook.com SMTP port: 587
    • Outlook.com SMTP TLS/SSL encryption required: yes
    For incoming messages from an Outlook.com account to an email program using POP, use the Windows Live Hotmail POP3 server settings.
    The Outlook.com POP server settings for downloading new incoming messages to email program, cell phone or mobile device are:
    • Outlook.com POP server address: pop3.live.com
    • Outlook.com POP user name: Your full Outlook.com email address (not an alias)
    • Outlook.com POP password: Your Outlook.com password
    • Outlook.com POP port: 995

    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
