Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Move table online and update the indexes at the same time.
Hi all
We are having some weird and wonderfulls with our new machine, we use to be a on E10K, all nice and stable.
They moved the database onto an E25K 2 weeks ago and since then have been having very weird problems, below is the Sun configuration and also the Oracle init file.
We have been having CPU spiking if that is what you can call it, load up to 80 on a couple of occasions.
This sometimes happen when the backup/RMAN process starts, sometimes when Netbackup does a totally independent file system backup.
Any ideas?
Thinking is that some patch is required or something that was just missed?
All help appreciated.

Subject: RE: Move table online and update the indexes at the same time.
Just found DBMS_REPAIR.REBUILD_FREELISTS - seems that it could fill new
freelists with free blocks.
You are right about updates - I didn't make distinctions between update
and insert. In addition there is BLOBs that can be extended, but it's rare
and we have hardly any migrated/chained rows.

Alex

RE: Move table online and update the indexes at the same time.
Please explain what you believe happens when you change the freelists for
an
existing table.
I do not believe information regarding freelists is stored in individual blocks, but rather freelists are lists of blocks queued up for new inserts.
Are you thinking of initial transactions and maximum transactions?
Further, I'm a bit confused that you're having freelist troubles due to
heavy update (unless you include insert in the generic "update" as opposed
to making a distinction between insert, update, and delete.) I suppose
that
if the updates are something like a huge expansion of a row by putting a
giant lob into a column, then freelists might be called for in updates by
row migration and/or row chaining. If you routinely expand rows greatly,
you
like have a different design consideration to consider re-tooling before
you
spend a lot of time reorganizing.
good luck!

Tanel,
Yes, PCTUSED and PCTFREE needs to be corrected as well.
Yes, sure, we do have RAC. But even without RAC we experienced some problems with low FREELISTS on heavily updated tables/indexes. Changing it without reorg. would affect only new blocks. We need to change FREELIST GROUPS and I was planning to set it higher than number of nodes we have now in anticipation of additional nodes. Thanks for warning of the "side effect" for setting several freelist groups - we have to research on it. We can't easily partition some of the tables. I wonder what other options are besides ASSM.
You've correctly pointed out the problem with IO distribution. That's another reason for reorganization.
Thanks for your points,
Alex

I've not tested it, but probably in the end, when you switch your newly created table instead of the old one.

This seems to be an issue of incorrectly configured PCTFREE and PCTUSED.
If
you analyzed the table over time and checked the average free space in
blocks (and rowcounts+rowlens) you might get closer whats the real issue
here. In default configuration the tables PCTUSED is 40 for example,
meaning
that up to 60% of the block contents may remain empty and completely
unused
if the space usage doesn't fall below PCTUSED...

You can change FREELISTS online without reorg. You shouldn't normally use FREELIST GROUPS if you're not in OPS or RAC evnironment. Freelist groups have the problem, that the processes which PID's map to another freelist group, don't see free blocks in other freelist groups, thus potentially wasting space in DML intensive environment. So if you're not seeing heavy segment header block contention due freelist updates in your database, you shouldn't consider freelist groups (and even if you see, then there are other alternatives to consider, like partitioning, etc.)
ASSM - again don't move to it if you don't have a RAC environment (with
continuously changing number of nodes) or you don't have special
conditions
like having rows with extremely varying sizes inserted to your table etc..
> 3.) Physical layout reorganization. Some tables are in wrong tablespaces.
This doesn't seem like a serious problem, given that your databases availability is more important (unless you don't have serious bottlenecks due improperly balanced IO)
