Using OCI with ProC [message #120598]

Hi,

Could anyone answer to me if it is possible to use OCI and ProC at the same application. For example, the connection and most of the database access is done with ProC and only some queries with OCI ?

Thanks,

Rafael.

Hi,

technically it's possible but you wouldn't want to. You should consider the ProC environment to be encapsulated.

The ProC/OCI hybrid would have to maintain two environments which saves you neither development time or runtime effeciency.

Most work you would want to perform can be undertaken in ProC so stay with it.

If you need to use OCI, do all your work using oci.

Have you considered working with OTL? Try http://otl.sourceforge.net/home.htm This combines OCI with an easy to use C++ wrapper interface.

Hi Michael,

My actual problem is:
I'm current working in a very big system that uses only ProC to do all the operations in the Oracle database.
But I know some queries that are very slow and I want to convert only this queries to OCI, because there are so many queries in the system.
Now, that you know my problem a little better, do you think that the best solution is trying OTL ? But in this case I will need to replace all the database access ?

Thanks,

Rafael.

Hi,

ProC itself isn't necessarily your performance bottleneck. Rather the performance of your ProC application may be affected by database performance.

Have you performed any SQL query performance analysis? You should start by looking for missing indexes, lack of database tuning, then examine alternative ways of generating the same query results. Try profiling the ProC sessions and "plan out" the longest running queries using tkprof.

When looking for bad queries and views I would recommend you start by looking at high disk access queries, then high cpu queries.
