Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: CPU COSTING
Jonathan,
I thought your article was very positive.
"It's a great improvement on the Oracle 7/8 version,"
and
"Overall - it's definitely a good thing."
I'm just wondering why is Connor suggesting that these only be
collected for a few hours?
In 10 it sounds like we won't have that choice.
"We run a job once per month to gather system stats for a couple of hours. It checks to make sure that sessions/processes are within 75% of their high water mark before commencing to (hopefully) ensure that the stats are representative.
Cheers
Connor"
Thanks Larry Wolfson

Subject: Re: CPU COSTING
Re-reading my post, it's not obvious that I approve of CPU costing and think it should be enabled as part of the migration plan from 8 to 9; so I'll just say it clearly:
"I approve of CPU costing and think it should be enabled as part of the migration plan from 8 to 9"
The fact that it will cause some surprises and confusion occasionally is unfortunate.
One guideline when you've got some system statistics gathered. If you've adjusted optimizer_index_cost_adj, set it back to default, otherwise you've effectively told Oracle twice that single block reads are cheaper than multiblock reads. (This was the point of the throwaway comment I made about Oracle 9 in my DBAZine article on OICA).

Jonathan, thanks for heads up.
Tanel, by freaked out, I assume you mean performing at warp speed.
Thanks
Larry Wolfson.
