RE: Partitionining perfortmance degraded drastically after upgrading the database from Oracle 102.0.4 to Oracle 11.2.0.3

As I said earlier that 6GB of PGA_AGGREGATE_TARGET was incorrectly set originally in 10g and after the upgrade we have set MEMORY_TARGET to 6GB, This database runs on a two node Veritas cluster. The primary node has 16GB of memory but the secondary node has only 8GB. So if the database fails over to the secondary node then it will not work if it needs more than 8GB. So I have kept the MEMORY_TARGET as 6GB and not setting SGA_TARGET, SGA_MAX_SIZE & PGA_AGGREGATE_TARGET and let Oracle manage the memory.

After I removed the restriction of 1GB of SGA_MAX_SIZE limit the general performance has improved. Then I gathered statistics for the partitioned tables and indexes by using the following procedure but that made the quires slower. exec dbms_stats.gather_table_stats (ownname=>'OPS\$DMAS',tabname=>'TEST_DATA', estimate_percent=>dbms_stats.auto_sample_size, degree=>dbms_stats.auto_degree,granularity=>'PARTITION',cascade=>TRUE);

Any idea why gathering statistics will make the quires slower? The database is already in Oracle 11g so how to get the AWR in 10g?

Thanks,
Ashoke

I always have a doubt, why people set SGA_TARGET smaller than SGA_MAX_SIZE. What is the objective of doing so? Regarding your issues, as many already pointed out you have cut your memory assignment to half, that is first thing to look at. The second is obviously the execution plans. Are the statistics refreshed in 11.2? Can you provide a couple of AWR in 10g and in 11g so we can compare?

Thanks

I meant to use total memory(MEMORY_TARGET) of 6GB to manage everything. Leaving SGA_MAX_SIZE=1G was a typo error. I wanted to set this to 0 so that Oracle allocate as needed basis. There is also another thing about this upgraded database. We haven’t changed the compatible parameter to to 11.2.0 yet and it is still at 10.2.0.

Do you see any negative impact due to the compatible setting as 10.20.0 for the 11g database?

I will set the SGA_MAX_SIZE to 0 and the compatible to ’11.2.0’ and bounce the database and see if that helps the performance.

Thanks,

It rather looks like you have cut your SGA from 6 GB (which may already have been rather lean) to 1GB, and reduced the total available memory from 12 GB to 6GB. Why are you surprised that this affects performance? I doubt the problem you are encountering has anything to do with Partitioning. There is probably almost NO memory available for buffer cache, and quite likely too little for the shared pool, too. The (more modest) reduction in memory available for the PGA may affect execution plans by causing a bias from HASH joins toward NESTED LOOPS. Commonly, people choose (need) to increase the memory available to the SGA when upgrading. At the very least, they will keep memory unchanged. Slashing the memory footprint in half is an uncommon move during an upgrade, and one that you will probably want to rethink. If you want more help here, let's start with some DATA. Something like the "Top-5 Waits" for pre- and post-upgrade might be a good place to start. After that, perhaps execution plans and wait information for the (most) affected queries. Without this, people here can only guess at the actual cause of your problem, although if enough of us guess for a long enough time, somebody will undoubtedly find the right answer eventually. (My money is on the changes to memory; I suggest we eliminate THAT as a cause before we move on to other possibilities, since we KNOW that was changed.)

I have upgraded one of my 2TB databases with partitioned tables & indexes from Oracle 10.2.0.4 to Oracle 11.2.0.3 recently and experiencing severe poor query performance. The response time of the queries have increased by 20-25 times.

Before the upgrade to 11g

PGA_AGGREGATE_TARGET=6GB
SGA_TARGET=4GB
SGA_MAX_SIZE=6GB

After the upgrade to 11g
MEMORY_TARGET=6GB

PGA_AGGREGATE_TARGET=0
SGA_TARGET=0
SGA_MAX_SIZE=1GB

My understanding is that if I set SGA_TARGET and PGA_AGGREGATE_TARGET parameters to 0 then Oracle manages theses as per the MEMORY_TARGET parameter in 11g. Q. Is it true that the SGA can't grow more than 1GB since SGA_MAX_SIZE is still set to 1GB?

Q2. Will the performance improve by setting  SGA_TARGET to 4GB by default?
Q3. Should I also set the PGA_AGGREGATE_TARGET to GB as it was prior the upgrade?
Q4. Any known issue of partitioning performance impact after you upgrade a 10g database to 11g?

Please let me know if you any suggestions to resolve this issue

Appreciate your help in advance,
Ashoke
