Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Oracle 7.3.4 problem... SLOW Drop user
The one thing that is slow when a dictionary-managed segment has lots of
extents is DROP. To enable recoverability, DROP works this way:
while exists(extent) {
seek to the end of the extent list
drop the final extent
}
The problem is that this algorithm is O(n^2). A 100-extent table will =
take
100^2 =3D 10,000x longer to drop than a 1-extent table. A 1,000-extent =
table
will take 100x longer to drop than a 100-extent table (or a million =
times
longer than a 1-extent table).
With locally-managed segments, this is no longer a problem. So, part 2 =
of
your solution is that when you rebuild your schema, use locally-managed
tablespaces if you can.
