Writing to Oracle is painfully slow, can i speed it up?

I am testing the Collections.sort() method on java.util. I have a table with 100,000 numbers. From an external program, I connect, build an ArrayList filling it with a looped read, sort the items and write the sorted list back with:
for (Iterator i = list.iterator(); i.hasNext(); )
pstmt.setString(1,(i.next().toString()));
pstmt.executeUpdate();
Here are the results of each operations:
OP:Connecting...
----The operation took 2.094 seconds
OP:Building List...
----The operation took 6.562 seconds
OP: Sorting 100000 items...
----The operation took 0.547 seconds
OP: Writing Sorted List...
----The operation took 740.698 seconds
740!!! Argh
How can I do this faster?

You might want to batch your statements so you aren't making 100,000 trips to the database.

  • PAINFULLY slow- can take 4 min to infinity to change tabs!

    I have a late 2008 MacBook Pro (original unibody MBP) that's running PAINFULLY slow! I used to be able to run 2 browsers with 15 tabs each, Photoshop, and word all at once. Over the last couple months, I can have as little as a browser with a few tabs and it grinds to a halt. I can simply click on a tab, or on a drop down menu, and I'll get the spinning beach ball for 4 or 5 minutes. Even cmd-opt-esc is unresponsive. Then, minutes later, it'll instantly execute anything I commanded over the last several minutes.  Firefox seems to be the worst offender, but it can happen no matter what's running.  It can happen immediately after rebooting, too (I used to only have to reboot every few weeks, now it's several times per day)
    CPU load is 98% idle after it catches up, but once it catches up and the graph refreshes and I can see it was about 60% user load and 15% system while it was choking on the monumental task of opening the "File" drop-down menu
    There are 482 threads and 129 processes.
    This is the original unibody Mac with 2.4 ghz core 2 duo. It's been upgraded with 4GB of ram (2.7 used) and a 1TB hard drive.  I did those upgrades 2 years ago and they've worked fine until recently.  Clicking  "get info" on the HD says 333 GB are free, but under "about this mac" it says 121 GB are free and 211 are used for "backup".  I'm running OS-X 10.9.2 and it says there are no updates to install.
    I've reset system manager
    I've reset PRAM
    I've fixed disk permissions.
    No effect
    I know I don't have the speediest machine, but even a mid-80's mac could smoothly handle a drop-down menu, and this is a recent problem.  I'm at a loss here, guys. Any idea? My computer is quickly becoming unusable!

    Great- Thanks!  Here's the info...

  • Podcast conversion painfully slow; can't add chapters while recording?

    I'm finding GB3's conversion to m4a very, very slow.
    For the last six months, I was using GB2 to mix my audio, iTunes to convert to m4a, and PodcastAV to add chapters and pictures. The mixdown process takes the same amount of time (10 minutes for an hour long podcast), but GB3 takes over half an hour to convert the audio to 64 kbps audio! In comparison, the equivalent iTunes takes three or four minutes to do the same. Is GarageBand not using the Velocity Engine?
    Additionally, if I make any changes to the chapter info in GB3, I have to go through this painful 40+ minute process once again. Tools like PodcastAV and ChapterToolMe can take existing m4a files and simply pass it through unchanged, only modifying the chapter info. Is there a way around this?
    Also, is there a way to add podcast chapters while recording? When recording, I can't select the podcast track to the "add chapter" button...
    Gotta say I'm disappointed so far.
    17" powerbook (1.67)   Mac OS X (10.4.4)  

    OK, i have played a bit more with Iphoto and GarageBand. It is really the size of the pictures. The original size of my pictures is 2048x1536px. If i make the pictures much smaller, i can add them from the mediabrowser into the podcast.
    What i now don't understand, why does it work if i drag them from the finder into garageband without editing the size? And what dimenson should the fotos have for optimal performance in the cast?

  • Safari interface is painfully slow but broadband speed fine

    Hi there - for the last few days using the interface on my Safari has been paaaaainfully slow (writing text, changing tab, scrolling etc). However my broadband speed seems fine (8.7MB). Any suggestions for how to fix the interface speed? I have shut down iPhoto and iTunes but no improvement.
    Bizarrely writing this right now is working fine but moving between tabs and writing in Gmail are still very slow...
    I am not very tech savvy so any simple suggestions would be very much appreciated - thank you!

    Hi and Welcome to Apple Discussions
    Some routers are better than others on a Mac. It's all about the firmware and the degree of compatibility built into it by the developer. Make sure you have the latest Netgear firmware installed on the router. Check the support page on Netgear's site.
    Also, in the Netgear Router preference panel, add these DNS server codes, which may facilitate the page loading on the Mac - 208.67.220.220 and 208.67.222.222. There are OpenDNS codes, which have been shown to be much more efficient for Safari than those used by Internet Providers.

  • My MacBook Pro is running painfully slow all of a sudden. I am trying to clean up my iPhoto library and it's all of a sudden running really slow. I've uninstalled and disabled as many unnecessary apps as possible as far as I can tell.

  • Flash Player that auto appeared on my screen. Ever since I can not play video, and my system has become painfully slow. I have Mac OS Lion 10.7.5 and software is up to date. Before this everything was running beautifully. Can you please provide a link so

    Dear Adobe.
    Yesterday I installed the latest version of Flash Player that auto appeared on my screen. Ever since I can not play video, and my system has become painfully slow. I have Mac OS Lion 10.7.5 and software is up to date. Before this everything was running beautifully. Can you please provide a link so I can uninstall the latest version only. Thank you. Stephen Kress. Melbourne. Australia

    When you run the uninstaller, it will uninstall all Flash Player versions.
    If you want to revert to an older version after that, get it from http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html

  • I have installed McAfee secutiry on my MAC OS X. It is now painfully slow. What can I do?

    HELP! My Mac is now painfully slow. Downloading any internet site takes forever. Is it because of the McAfee program I have installed? If so, what can I do? It's driving me insane but I need to have security on my Mac.

    Is it because of the McAfee program I have installed?
    Very likely. You don't need it and I would delete it and instead use ClamXav.
    There are many forms of ‘Malware’ that can affect a computer system, of which ‘a virus’ is but one type, ‘trojans’ another. Using the strict definition of a computer virus, no viruses that can attack OS X have so far been detected 'in the wild', i.e. in anything other than laboratory conditions. The same is not true of other forms of malware, such as Trojans. Whilst it is a fairly safe bet that your Mac has NOT been infected by a virus, it may have another security-related problem, but more likely a technical problem unrelated to any malware threat.
    You may find this User Tip on Viruses, Trojan Detection and Removal, as well as general Internet Security and Privacy, useful:
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2435
    The User Tip (which you are welcome to print out and retain for future reference) seeks to offer guidance on the main security threats and how to avoid them.

  • Painfully slow access to admin console (how can I fix it?)

    Hi,
    I'm using using Sun Java System Web Server Version 7.0U4 B12/02/2008 02:17 running on CentOS (Redhat EL) release 4.4.
    The problem is that using the Admin Console (on port 8989) is painfully slow. It takes minutes for each page to load, but they do usually load.
    Any ideas on how to fix that?
    There are some other things going on that might be related and helpful to know:
    I get certificate errors when I access the Admin Console (e..g, IE complains about a mismatched address). I've tried following the directions to install the certificate in IE7 and FF3, but neither has stopped bothering me about the certificate error.
    I have the server behind a firewall which allows all outgoing traffic and select incoming ports to the server. The firewall also maps a public IP address to the server's local IP address (e..g, 10.10.10.8).
    If I access the Admin Console locally via the LAN address (https://10.10.10.8:8989) it is no longer slow, but I get booted back to the login screen very frequently (e.g, every minute or two of casual browsing through the console), and I still get the certificate error
    We haven't given the server a name, but access it by IP address, and the virtual server configuration in the Admin Console is name "localhost.localdomain"
    Any help and suggestions would be greatly appreciated!! I've tried searching for solutions several times, but haven't succeeded.
    Thanks,
    Tim

    Thanks for the thoughts

    sounds more like some network issues. are you running your browser on your centos 4.4 as well ? also, did you try to connect using your IP - some thing like https://<ip>:8989 ?
    No, we're not running the browser on centos 4.4. We're runing browsers on laptops, connecting both offsite via public IP address and in the office via both the public IP address and the LAN ip address.
    Yes, we're using the ip address as you demonstrated. This machine does not have a domain name attached, so we only connect via ip addresses (mapped public or LAN)

I've tried following the directions to install the certificate in IE7 and FF3, but neither has stopped bothering me about the certificate error.it is not a certificate error. web server 7 admin server uses a self signed certificate . this is necessary step. however, IE reports a warning when it sees a self signed certificate. it wants you to know that it does not understand who sent this certificate. you need to create an exception - saying that you know what you are doing then there won't be any certificate error ..Okay, I'll look for how to do that, but so far I've only found instructions for how to install the certificate in the browsers, and unfortunately, that hasn't made a difference.

    sounds like some network misconfiguration - outside the scope of this forum.I cannot rule that out, but other servers/websites seem to work fine with this same setup. Although, only this server is using https

    if you want to increase this time out, you could do so by manually editing <install-root>/lib/webapps/admingui/WEB-INF/web.xml and change the value for session-timeout to say 600 (for 10 minutes).. . pl . note that this is not a supported way and you could potentially leave others to use your session if you are careless. but, if you know what you are doing .Thanks I did that. It surprises me that the default timeout appears to be 1 minute.

  • Mid 2011 Macbook Air Painfully slow.

    Mid 2011 Macbook Air Painfully slow.
    Hey everyone.  I am writing about my 13 inch Mid 2011 Macbook Air. 
    Recently it has been extremely slow and on occasion has not started up.
    I have reset the PRAM and SMC already, yet it is still very slow.  I have a couple theories about what might have caused it, are they plausible?
    Theory 1:  It’s a software problem. I tried to upgrade to 10.8.2 but halfway through the upgrade the computer restarted and somehow I was still on 10.8.1.  For fear of a big issue happening I didn’t try to upgrade again. Perhaps it is a flaw in Apple’s software update? 
    The important thing to note about this update is that I tried to install 10.8.2 around a month or two weeks BEFORE I started having problems.  So if these issues were due to 10.8.2’s failed update then it certainly was a delayed reaction. 
    I would of course like to update to 10.8.2 BUT as my computer is acting EXTREMELY slow and having trouble turning on occasionally I am worried the software update will completely brick the machine.  Is that possible?  Should I actually finish through with the software update?
    Theory 2:  It was an electricity problem. 
    The computer died when I was sitting at a café plugged into their wall sockets.  A few days later when I came back to the same spot with my old macbook which is now being used in lieu of the Air it suddenly turned black for a little while. Sensing it might be an electricity surge or something with their system I unplugged the cable.  I am not sure if that was paranoia though. 
    Can an electricity surge or a bad outlet fry a computer?  Can it fry the ram so the computer is extremely slow? Does that theory hold any water? 
    Thanks for your help diagnosing this problem.
    All the best. 

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac. 
    These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing. 
    Below are instructions to enter some UNIX shell commands. The commands are harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of the procedure suggested here, search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects. 
    Some of the commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then either copy or drag it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands. 
    Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. The other steps should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply. 
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways: 
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.) 
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens. 
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid. 
    When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign. 
    Step 1 
    Copy or drag — do not type — the line below into the Terminal window, then press return:
    kextstat -kl | awk '!/com\.apple/{printf "%s %s\n", $6, $7}' 
    Post the lines of output (if any) that appear below what you just entered (the text, please, not a screenshot.) You can omit the final line ending in “$”. 
    Step 2 
    Repeat with this line:
    sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix)|edu\.mit|org\.(amavis|apache|cups|isc|ntp|postfix|x)/{print $3}' 
    This time, you'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. You don't need to post the warning. 
    Note: If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before taking this step. If that’s not possible, skip to the next step. 
    Step 3
    launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple|edu\.mit|org\.(x|openbsd)/{print $3}' 
    Step 4
    ls -1A /e*/mach* {,/}L*/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,Keyb,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo,Sta}* L*/Fonts 2> /dev/null  
    Important: If you formerly synchronized with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address may appear in the output of the above command. If so, anonymize it before posting. 
    Step 5
    osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get name of every login item' 2> /dev/null 
    Remember, steps 1-5 are all drag-and-drop or copy-and-paste, whichever you prefer — no typing, except your password. Also remember to post the output. 
    You can then quit Terminal.

  • CS5 Flash and Photoshop painfully slow

    I recently moved from CS4 Master Suite to CS5 Master Suite. I work with all files on a home based network drive. The CS4 handled most all tasks easily. The CS5 is painfully slow.
    Publish Previewing a very small Flash file with no action script and 3 button rollovers takes 3-6 minutes to view. Opening a 1100x730px jpg in Photoshop takes 1-2 minutes and saving it is almost as slow. Ironically, Fireworks opens the same jpg in half the time.
    About my set up: the network drive and a desktop PC are plugged into a Linksys G wireless router. The desktop has the same problems as both laptops in really slow Adobe tasks. None of my other programs struggle with network tasks and the CS4 Master Suite handled it fine.
    Any clue why CS5 Master Collection would perform basic tasks so much slower than CS4 Master Collection using the same network?

    I guess your project is quite complex (filesize for starters, maybe complex vector artwork, lots of keyframes etc.). When you save your project, Flash has to process all the objects and do the actual writing to the disc. What you can do, is break the document into smaller, separate *.fla files. You can export them as *.swf and load them at runtime or export them as *.swc libraries and include them at compile time.

  • Production Cube painfully slow when resolving partitioned data

    Hi,
    We have a few 10g cubes in our production environment on Unix servers. For the most part the users are very satisfied with the response time. Most are of a similar design Global Composites, compressed around 9 dimensions.
    Recently we introduced a new cube and took advantage of the Parallell processing
    feature and partitioned it on the month level of time . It has 9 dimensions (see portion of load log below for specifics). All dimensions are sparse , global composites, Compression, 15 measures .. Most dimensions are aggregated fully or 1 below the top with the exception product aggregated only to the leaf level.
    The load works fine 9million data rows loaded and aggregated in 2 hours. The problem we are having is in the response time to a query. It's fine when only 1 month is selected. When you select qtr and years the query becomes painfully slow. When selecting 1 measure for 1 month it takes about 15 seconds to return. When selecting the same measure for the year or qtr it takes about 6 minutes to return. The same is true when I run a report from the Olap worksheet using olap DML so i know that it has nothing to do with the front end or network.
    Any ideas on what could be causing the bottleneck in summing the partitions or on how to diagnose the problem. Version is 10.2.0.2
    There are only 7 months in the cube and it's 25gb.
    thx

    Watrost makes some very valid points and you should review the suggestions he has made.
    In addition I would like to add the following. When deciding on how and when to use partitioning and parallel processing I would suggest considering these points:
    1) The partition dimension - most people partition on time, probably because all the examples I have seen in this area show this as if it were the "normal" method. Using time is a good idea if you want to perform some form of rolling time window and need to quickly and easily drop data for a specific time period. However, partitioning does impact on query performance and you need to balance the needs of "ease of maintenance" against query performance for your users. Once you have selected a level to use as the partition key you will notice on the Summary tab that levels above this key are in fact grayed out and cannot be selected. As Watrost points out, the partition key in effect becomes your top level of pre-aggregation. All other levels are summed at query time. This is normally ok, but for a 9 dimensional model it means you have no summary levels computed across any of your other 8 dimensions for levels above the partition key. This will have a serious impact on your query performance.
    2) Parallel processing - many people seem to implement partitioning in the expectation that their cubes will aggregate more quickly. In most cases this can be true but there are many factors to consider. To be really effective you need to have multiple CPUs, and you should set the number of parallel jobs to a maximum of No of CPUs-1. For some reason I have seen many DBAs just randomly pick a number for this value that greatly exceeds the number of CPUs and then wonder why their cube build takes such a long time. I would start by using the No of CPUs/2 and scaling up to No of CPUs-1 to determine the sweet spot for your system based on resources. Don't forget it is not just CPUs that are important in this situation you also need fast disks as I/O contention can occur very easily.
    3) Partial vs Full aggregation - If you upgrade to the latest 10.2.0.3 patcheset and apply the OLAP A Patch as well (available from Metalink) which will allow you to take advantage of partial aggregation features. When loading data into a cube you should only aggregate data for incoming values rather than re-aggregating data for the whole cube. Although AWM does provide a radio button to control this on the second page of the maintenance wizard it is only with the above patchsets that this actually works.
    4) Sortarea size : check your sortarea size. Typically, this is set very small in most instances and OLAP operations are very sort intensive. Therefore, increasing this to 1M or higher can have a significant impact on load performance.
    5) Monitoring Builds - There are some free performance views you can download from OTN that will help you monitor what is happening during a build. See the link for SQL Scripts for OLAP DBAs and the associated readme at:
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/bi/olap/OLAP_DBA_scripts.ZIP
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/bi/olap/OLAP_DBA_README.htm
    I would look at the views AW_WAIT_EVENTS, OLAP_PGA_USE and AW_LONGOPS as well as generally monitoring your instance via OEM using the ADDM reports that can be generated. These will help you discover performance bottlenecks in your system
    Now for the dilemma - parallel processing vs partitioning. Most people would agree that partial aggregation is a good idea as there is no need to re-aggregate a complete cube when there have been no changes to the dimensions/hierarchies and you are loading data for just the current month. But if you partition by month you will never get parallel processing because you will only be aggregating data within a single partition and for parallel processing to occur aggregation must occur across multiple partitions. What it does mean is that the time take for each load and partial aggregation should be consistent which makes it easy to plan.
    If this is proving to be a significant problem then it is possible to use partitioning and generate a fully solved cube. In 11g this will be resolved using a new aggregation feature. For 10gR2 it is possible to create this type of solution. In fact I have just re-designed a customers physical data model to reduce the query time for one of their main user reports from 14 minutes to 10 seconds. The problem was the query accessed the data within the partition that was not aggregated.
    It is quite a simple process and does not change your current logical data model. Quite simply you create a surrogate partition dimension with only one two levels - All and "Level 1". Partition on "Level 1". If you are using time, which most people do, level 1 contains all the values for all months, all quarters and all years. Next create a source table that contains using GROUPING SETS to compute totals for months, quarters and years only for base levels across all your other dimensions. This will created an embedded total fact table for your surrogate time dimension.
    In the mapping editor, map the surrogate time dimension column in the fact table to your surrogate dimension "Level 1". In the Rules tab within AWM set the aggregation for this surrogate dimension to "Do not Aggregate". Load your data.
    In your existing cube you replace your existing stored measures with calculated measures, using the same name, that point to the new physical cubes via a QDR from the standard time dimension to the surrogate time dimension.
    Hope this helps.

  • ITunes 9 painfully slow to load

    With all the new graphics & album art that loads & animation that has to load iTunes load so painfully slow & don't let Time Machine run at the same time! Is there anything I can do to either turn off all the additional art work that loads or can I downgrade back to the previous iTUnes?
    Or is there something in Utilities maybe I can do?

    I'll add my experience to this. It takes sometimes as long as 15 minutes to load my library, during which iTunes is "Not Responding," and churns my hard drive so that my entire system is nearly unusable. My system still has sufficient memory, so it is not paging.
    Shutting down in the same experience. I just timed it at 10 minutes, with the same hard drive churn and nearly unresponsive system. The RAM usage goes as high as 1GB of ram, and in Activity Monitor, it is writing for minutes at ~20MB/s. I thought that my library was somehow corrupted, but this seems to be a common experience?
    Why didn't Steve Jobs demo this great new feature?

  • My mac book pro runs very slow, can I make it run faster?

    I have a 4 month old Mac book pro. granted, its just an i5 2.4 
    It seemed to be pretty quick when I first bought it.  but it started slowing down.
    So I put 8 gigs of ram into it.
    but it still runs painfully slow. 
    I spent the day putting files in the trashbin. Today I am deleting them perm.  BUt even the empty function is slow.  It can take 2 or 3 seconds to delete a single file. Right now, the process has been stuck on the same file delete for almost a minute.
    I have run disk utils, and it came back instantly as fine.
    So, I have 4 questions.
    1... is there a check list to improve speed.
    2... It there a utiltiy program I should run to confirm my files.  I have uninstalled a number of programs. Perhaps they were not uninstalled properly?
    3... I understand that there are some disksweep tools to stay away from.  Especially the free once.  Can I get a list of the bad players
    4... I am thinking of replacing the Hard Drive with an ssd/hard drive combo.  they seem to be getting cheaper, and I have heard some good thinkgs about them.  I know it would void my warrentee, butcan I get some stories about the transition.
    thanks
