Statspack report analysis

By

Have you ever faced this ? ... You have your statspack report ready & are trying to work with your Statspack analyzer tool, which performs statspack report analysis & generates an html file, which is more understandable to non-DBA's too (with some charts, top-queries, recommendations, etc.) . At this moment, either your analysis tool gives up, or the website which you used for analysis, is unavailable (recently happened with oraperf, which we used) !
A solution to this, for a DBA, is to be able to read through the statspack report & identify the key areas, issues of importance . This place offers a simple statspack survival guide, to help understand the report. Hope this helps a DBA in speedy statspack analysis, instead of depending on a tool that is not working, or giving erratic results.

    I'll sure generate a Statspackreport tomorrow & attach here. Can you help me attach this new file here ? I'm not sure how to attach a non-image file to a blog.

Permitting a user on UNIX / Linux to use sqlplus

By
We encountered an interesting scenario worth mentioning. Scenario: Oracle is installed on a Linux server newly & another ftp user wants to just use sqlplus also. Just setting the ORACLE_HOME, LD_LIBRARY_PATH, ORACLE_SID, PATH in the user's profile did not let him run the "sqlplus" command at all. The error shown was : $ sqlplus ld.so.1: sqlplus: fatal: /app/oracle/product/10.2/lib/libsqlplus.so: Permission denied Killed The files under "lib" directory under home didn't have permission for anybody other than "oracle" user. -rwxr-x--- 1 oracle oinstall 1320016 Jun 28 2005 /app/oracle/product/10.2/lib/libsqlplus.so When we permit the other users (other than oracle) to read/exe

HWM (high watermark) of a tablespace ?

By
How many times have you thought of calculating HWM (high watermark) of a tablespace as a DBA ? Have you ever found out that a tablespace is overallocated in a database, as compared to the data being used in it ? In such a case, you'd want to reduce the wasted space & resize the tablespace to a smaller size, although greater than the current usage. HWM is at the maximum blocks ever occupied by a SEGMENT (unless we perform a truncate on it). Segments span over datafiles however remain within a tablespace. All segments are physically allocated by way of extents, which are contiguous blocks of data. Now, when we talk about contiguous blocks, 2 datafiles (even from same tablespace) are highly unlikely to have contiguguos data blocks. Hence, theoretically, it's possible to calculate high watermark within a datafile, not a tablespace directly, as the latter is only a logical unit. Although, we can resize a tablespace, however the resize value needs to be based on exact calculati
