Increase in 'log file sync' waits while 'log file parallel write' remains unchanged
We have small 9.2.0.8 database on AIX, from time to time it
experiences waits
on 'log file sync'. I am unable to explain these waits:
- There is no increase in the number or size of transaction
- While average wait on 'log file sync' increases from 10ms to 124ms
average wait on 'log file parallel write' does not change much -
approx 0.05 ms.

Do you have available cpu time on this system when the log file waits shoot up? Unless you are showing some signs of severe cpu starvation ( that might have been missed possibly ) I think you gotta check out the IO subsystem. My databases get about .5 ms for log file sync ... 10 ms is ugly and 100 ms just ouch. Local storage or SAN? Can you get some iostat information during the bad times?

'log file sync' is wait experienced by foreground user process while 'log file parallel write' is wait event experienced by Log Writer. I thought that slow I/O will lead to increase in 'log file parallel write'. I checked db once agai, found that log_buffer is set to 1MB. If we unset it the default value will be 4 MB (128K * cpu_count), I don't think it will help. > Local storage or SAN? =A0Can you get some iostat information during the > bad times? Yes, this is EMC DMX-something (2000).

If you have bad log file sync ... it needs to be fixed. > I checked db once agai, found that log_buffer is set to 1MB.

Most of my systems are at 128 MB ... why would you have a system with a 1 MB log buffer? > > Local storage or SAN? =A0Can you get some iostat information during the > > bad times? > > Yes, this is EMC DMX-something (2000). Hard to believe you are getting 10 ms average on a system like that ( even when your db is "good"). That doesn't make much sense to me. Do an iostat 10 10 when the log file syncs are spiking and post the results if you can.

Pehaps you've forgotten that Oracle rounds up log buffer to fill up a granule on 10gR2 and up. Perhaps at some point you set a 65M log_buffer and found it at 128. Perhaps you're running apps and that's what was recommended before 10gR2. Here's a forum thread that explains some stuff, including that a too- big buffer may cause log syncs: http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jsp= a?messageID=3D1940709� Of course, I don't expect that 1M is too big. I'd guess that something is happening on the OS side periodically that is pounding I/ O (or like you suggested, cpu starvation is preventing I/O from happening, but...). The waits aren't on parallel write perhaps because it's being written to a hardware cache, but the commit ack isn't coming back. Would there be snaps happening on the SAN? Why does this sound so familiar, like an async i/o problem? Which AIX is this? Search metalink for async i/o ibm, see things like Note: 233659.1 jg -- @home.com is bogus. http://www3.signonsandiego.com/stories/2009/sep/22/dell-reaches-deal-buy-pe= rot-systems/?uniontrib
joel-garryThere is a bug in 9i due to which lgwr reports erroneous values for "log file parallel write". See Jonathan's note on this. http://www.jlcomp.demon.co.uk/log_file_writes.html Use OS tracing commands like truss to get the lgwr io timings. regards srivenu

Thanks! But Jonathan's note does say "If you=92ve ever been in the habit of discounting the log writer as a source of performance problems because the log writer times are good =96 think again. Any timings from the log writer are not to be trusted in 9.2. If you see high average wait times on log file sync, this may be the only way you can infer that you might have an I/O problem in the log writer." The increasing average wait times on log file sync is what the OP was asking about. I think we're all agreed that looking at what the OS is doing with I/O is what needs to be done. jg -- @home.com is bogus. There must be a Oracle Top Gun joke in here somewhere: http://www3.signonsandiego.com/stories/2009/oct/02/airborne-artistry/

web('file', 'filename' '-browser') not working
Hello, I'm working on a project involving Matlab and a nice flashy GUI. To call help files, I do: web('file', 'help.html' '-browser'); On my computer, this works. After compiling it, it works. If I manage to get the current directory wrong, somehow, the browser attempts to go to www.help.com, rather than put up an error. So far so good, except when the file isn't there, which I'm ignoring for the moment. However, when I run the program on other computers (I compile the program first), it always goes to www.help.com, no matter what the pwd says, or where I put help.html. This seems to happen on about half of the other computers I try it on. Any ideas? I had thought it was just path mixups but putting 'pwd' in the appropriate places seems to indicate nothing is amiss. I do not want to use explicit path names, (ie 'file:///c:/stuff/help.html' syntax) as this program is meant for some distribution and I can't guarantee that people will always have it running from the same location. Thank you in advance, --Anne I finally did a = sprintf('file:///%shelp.html#%s', pwd, section); web('file', a, '-browser'); I discovered that the file:/// syntax does not require paths to be deliminated by '/' but can use '\' unlike what I had thought.

'is not' or '!='
A newbie question to you; what is the difference between statements like: if x is not None: and if x != None: Without any context, which one should be preferred? IMHO, the latter is more readable.

"x is y" tells you whether x and y actually refer to the same object. In the case of singletons like None (there's only one None object), it's better to use "is".

web('file', 'filename' '-browser') not working
Hello, I'm working on a project involving Matlab and a nice flashy GUI. To call help files, I do: web('file', 'help.html' '-browser'); On my computer, this works. After compiling it, it works. If I manage to get the current directory wrong, somehow, the browser attempts to go to www.help.com, rather than put up an error. So far so good, except when the file isn't there, which I'm ignoring for the moment. However, when I run the program on other computers (I compile the program first), it always goes to www.help.com, no matter what the pwd says, or where I put help.html. This seems to happen on about half of the other computers I try it on. Any ideas? I had thought it was just path mixups but putting 'pwd' in the appropriate places seems to indicate nothing is amiss. I do not want to use explicit path names, (ie 'file:///c:/stuff/help.html' syntax) as this program is meant for some distribution and I can't guarantee that people will always have it running from the same location. Thank you in advance, --Anne I finally did a = sprintf('file:///%shelp.html#%s', pwd, section); web('file', a, '-browser'); I discovered that the file:/// syntax does not require paths to be deliminated by '/' but can use '\' unlike what I had thought. I read a bug report that using the internal web browser crashes when using compiled code. However, a similar crash happens for me when using R2006a....

Difference between a 'file' and a 'table'
With OS400, all files are objects that can be accessed relationally.

So, what is the difference between a table and a file? -- Texeme http://texeme.com Without being strict in its definition a file and a table in OS/400 are the same.

'Adding new data file' vs 'extending existing data file size' to increase Tablespace
As the Tablespace is almost filled on the running system now, we have to add additional space to the Tablespace. As I understand, the following are the two options available to do that: 1) Add a new data file to hold the additional data in Tablespace: SQL> alter tablespace my_TS add datafile '/someDir/my_TS2.dbf' size 100M; 2) Resize the existing Tablespace's data file. SQL> alter database datafile '/someDir/my_TS1.dbf' resize 200M; What is the best way to go? In my understanding, the 1st option is not preferable as the Tablespace is spread over 2 data files and ...
