I don't think Resource Manager is going to do the trick here (I just read about it over the last week while preparing for OCP exam 4). Resource Manager would work great for a single database but Ed is trying to divvy up resources between 5 databases.

I don't have any good solution. I suppose if everything running on this one database was less important than anything on the other 4 databases, you could renice the one database. I think that would be ok provided all components of the one database were at the same nice level.

If you take RAC out of Oracle you get OLE! What can this mean?

Ed,

    The only way your going to do this is through Oracle Resource Manager. You'll need an 8.1.x Enterprise database. Then you can setup your resource plans and groups to manage who gets how much CPU at a time. Any of the operating level tools out there cannot get down to the level of granularity your asking for since all of the activity happens within Oracle. All those tools can do is control the amount of CPU that Oracle gets which has a global effect that hampers all users of the database.

Raj,

    Thanks for your input.
>From what I understand with profiles,
the session will be terminated once a
threshold is reached.

    In this particular case, I cannot
terminate the session. I need to be able to control the CPU usage of a session, without ending it.

     If this cannot be done within Oracle, then maybe it can be accomplished through the OS.

        thanks.

  You could use profiles to control CPU usage as well, more info is in manuals.

    Hi,

        I'm looking for a way to control CPU usage of     particular queries on a database.

        After exploring, and implementing ways of optimizing the code,     these queries can run anywhere from 45 seconds     to 2 minutes.

        This database is 1 of 5 on this box. So, although it's important     to build effective queries, it's also important in this     environment that these queries do not impact the other     4 databases.

        What I want to do is place a limit on CPU usage     without terminating the query. I've looked at profiles     with the "cpu_per_call" and "cpu_per_session" settings.     I have never used profiles, but from what I understand,     these will kill the session once they reach a threshold.

        I'm also looking at database resource management.     This may be more appropriate for this situation.

        Has anyone used this, and if so what are you     experiences ? Would you recommend it ?

        Would the only way to control CPU usage on this     box, be through the operating system ?

    I welcome any suggestions. I appreciate your time.

    The environment is Oracle 8.1.7.2, AIX 4.3.3.
