In this section, we will write an application that issues the same SQL statement over and over again. The first run of the application will not use bind variables. The second run of the application wi...
The most likely problems that you will experience with replication are those with job queues. This topic addresses the following areas associated with running replication jobs: Detecting a Problem w...
Tablespaces are used to store database objects that take up space on disks. These objects are called segments. Examples of segments include tables, indexes, clusters, undo segments, and materialized v...
Library cache latches The library cache latches protect the cached SQL statements and object definitions held in the library cache within the shared pool. The library cache latch must be obtained ...
What is the Redo Copy Latch? The redo copy latch is needed to copy a redo entry into the log buffer. The redo copy latches are used to indicate that a process is copying redo into the log buffer, and ...
Starting from Oracle10g, most of the RAC related wait events could be further classified in two types, namely 'place holder' events and 'fix up events'. For example, when a cr request is initiated, th...
When you want to retrieve data from the database, the fastest way to do this is if the data the query returns is already located in memory, or cache. If it is not located in cache, then the server pro...
Enabling Direct I/O Oracle provides a number of different ways of ensuring the performance of I/O write requests is optimal, including the use of direct I/O and asynchronous I/O (see below for more de...
This wait event will happen when all buffer gets have been suspended. This could happen when a file was read-only and is now read-write. All the existing buffers need to be invalidated since they are ...
This wait event only occurs when Flashback Database is turned on. A session waits for recovery writer (RVWR) to write flashback data to the flashback logs on disk because the buffers are full. Until R...
A direct path write I/O operation is just the opposite of the direct path read operation, and it writes buffers from a session's PGA to the datafiles. The direct path write operation allows a session ...
A direct path read I/O operation reads data into the session's PGA instead of the SGA. Direct read I/Os may be performed in synchronous or asynchronous mode, depending on the platform and the value of...
