Dear All,

I need your help with speeding up this bucketing query for Oracle 10.2.0.3.0

SELECT i,FNAME,SNAME,DOB
FROM (
        SELECT /*+ INDEX_ASC(CUSTOMER IDX_USE_ME)*/
          row_number() OVER (PARTITION BY FNAME,SNAME ORDER BY FNAME,SNAME,ID) i,
          FNAME,
          SNAME,
          DOB,
          rownum rnum
        FROM CUSTOMER
        WHERE FNAME IS NOT NULL AND SNAME IS NOT NULL         
        ORDER BY FNAME,SNAME,ID
     )
WHERE mod(rnum,:RPB)<3;
Where :RPB denotes RowsPerBucket = (SELECT count(*) FROM customer) / 100

The purpose of this query is to divide all the non-null rows of the CUSTOMER table sorted by FNAME,SNAME,ID into 100 evenly-sized buckets and then to return only the first 3 rows from each bucket.
The "i" column is a disambiguation column that consecutively numbers all the rows with the same FNAME and SNAME.
The :RPB variable is known ahead of time.

Please do not concern yourself with cases where the count of table rows is not divisible by 100.

Here is a testcase. Table & Data are the same as with the huge query before, but any data could do for this test.
SQL> DROP INDEX IDX_USE_ME;
Index dropped.

SQL> CREATE UNIQUE INDEX IDX_USE_ME ON CUSTOMER (FNAME, SNAME , ID);
Index created.

SQL> exec DBMS_STATS.GATHER_INDEX_STATS (ownname => 'ORAUSER', indname => 'IDX_USE_ME');
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.

SQL> exec DBMS_STATS.GATHER_TABLE_STATS (ownname => 'ORAUSER', tabname => 'CUSTOMER');
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.

SQL> 
SQL> SELECT i,FNAME,SNAME,DOB
  2  FROM (
  3           SELECT /*+ INDEX_ASC(CUSTOMER IDX_USE_ME)*/
  4              row_number() OVER (PARTITION BY FNAME,SNAME ORDER BY FNAME,SNAME,ID) i,
  5              SNAME,FNAME,DOB,rownum rnum
  6           FROM CUSTOMER
  7           WHERE FNAME IS NOT NULL AND SNAME IS NOT NULL         
  8           ORDER BY FNAME,SNAME,ID
  9       )
 10  WHERE mod(rnum,506)<3;

How fast is it now?
How fast do you hope to make it?

As with your other thread (you haven't replied to my latest offering there) you have used an index to eliminate a sort, and reduced the SQL to a single FULL SCAN of the index.

If you think Oracle can do better, I think you're being a bit unreasonable.

The only things I can think of to consider are:
- INDEX FULL SCAN reads data block-by-block. This is ineffiecient. FULL TABLE SCAN and FAST-FULL INDEX SCAN read multi-blocks making I/O much faster. But both of these would require a sort; this would steal back any performance savings.

- You are not keeping every row, so there is some redundant I/O. Can it be eliminated? I think not. I know of know way to skip-forward n rows in an index. You can write clever code to skip to the next distinct value, but the only way to count those rows is to read them.

- Once we have eliminated redundant I/O and sorts, the next option in tuning is to parallelise. Not much opportunity here. If you range-partitioned the table on FNAME you might have a shot. But the trick would be to get partitions of equal size. That would be easier with HASH partitions, but that would upset your sorting.

I think you're at the end of the road.

You could add DOB to the index to eliminate the table access. That is all I can think of.

The query may not always do what you are describing. The rownum in the inner query is derived before the order by is applied, so the rownums may not always be in the same order as the order by. You need to either use three levels of nested queries, putting the rownum with rn alias in the middle query or use "row_number () over (order by fname, sname, id) rn" instead of "rownum rn".

Can you describe the purpose of this bucketing? I can't help thinking you may be doing something the hard way.

Ross,

The query takes 2 seconds to execute now, and I'd like to speed it up to at least 0.5sec.

I do not know Oracle well enough to see if I am unreasonable, however I am a seasoned Real Programmer who implemented many trees (Red&Black, B+Tree, PK-Tree, XY-AVL, Trie) in C and assembler, and it is hard for me to accept the unnecessary scans and I/O because I've done better myself with indices of all sorts (albeit not in Oracle).
I'm down to the bare metal guy, who thinks in bytes & bits and is disgusted by monstrosities like HTML, etc...

I do not understand how Oracle organizes its indices, but if there is some kind if In-Order sequencing of the index file, maybe jumping X rows ahead can be done without scanning all of the intermediate rows. The LEAD windowing function comes to mind here...

If I am at the end of the road with this problem then it is a valid answer, but it would mean that RDBMS architecture is architecturally flawed if it cannot deal with such class of problems efficiently.


Regards,
George

Barbara,

I was afraid this was wrong. I'll try the 3 levels of nested queries or the analytical row_number function.

Thanks for pointing it out.


Regards,
George

P.S.
I do not want to elaborate about the purpose of the query.

Dear All,

Experimenting with the ROW_NUMBER analytical function and a 2 level nesting of the query has brought me to an interesting observation in the query plan.
Namely to the WINDOW NOSORT STOPKEY

Intersting from perfomance point of view...

Just sharing,
George

From the documentation:

"Predicate Pushing

For those views that are not merged, the query transformer can push the relevant predicates from the containing query block into the view query block. This technique improves the subplan of the non-merged view, because the pushed-in predicates can be used either to access indexes or to act as filters."

Barbara,

Very interesting! Smile

..I wonder how much better it still would be if it used an index?

Could you try it with the mod(rnum,684)<=3 in the WHERE clause on 11g, and see how much it slows down?
I have only 10g to experiment with.


Regards,
George

P.S.
Of course, change the literal 684 to 1/100th of your row count.

You could add DOB to the index to eliminate the table access. That is all I can think of.


Oh, man, I must be getting old. I didn't see the table access.

Yes, do this. You will almost certainly get your 4-fold improvement.

Also worth noting: your 2 second response time is on cached data
          0  db block gets
      40897  consistent gets
          0  physical reads
Performance will drop when this is run cold.

This does not stop the redundant data read on the index (although there is TONS of redundant data that will be no longer read if you use coleing's suggestion. I believe with some confidence that eliminating the redundant scan of discarded index rows is impossible. Oracle stores variable-width index entries. The only way to know how many entires are stored in a block is to read the block - and then it's too late.

For more information on the structure of Indexes in Oracle, and for some explanation of why the TABLE ACCESS must be eliminated, see this article.

I had an invalid test environment. I had an index named customer instead of idx_use_me, so the hint was invalid. Here are the revised results after changing the name of the index to idx_use_me.

Hey Barbara, you're mixing the threads and making my brain hurt.

But it's good to know the syntax was either right, or close enough so you could make it work. The Explain Plan doesn't tell the full story though because the CURSOR() is not shown. You would need to TKPROF it.

For this thread, I'd be interested to know how @coleing's suggestion of tacking DOB onto the index compares performance-wise.

Coleing,

Adding the DOB to the index indeed speeds up the query 2x.

However, I cannot go that route, because I am restricted to indices that already exist. The DBA will only give me permissions to create an index for the TEST orauser.

This is something I neglected to mention in my original problem specification.


Thanks,
George

You could add DOB to the index to eliminate the table access. That is all I can think of.

Hey Barbara,

Now you are getting the same plan as I am for the query:
SELECT i,FNAME,SNAME,DOB
FROM (
       SELECT /*+ INDEX_ASC(CUSTOMER IDX_USE_ME)*/
          row_number() OVER (PARTITION BY FNAME,SNAME ORDER BY FNAME,SNAME,ID) i,
          row_number() OVER (ORDER BY FNAME,SNAME,ID) rnum,
          --LEAD(FNAME, 10000, 0) OVER (ORDER BY FNAME,SNAME,ID) inorderjump,
 	  FNAME,SNAME,DOB
       FROM CUSTOMER
       WHERE FNAME IS NOT NULL AND SNAME IS NOT NULL
       ORDER BY FNAME,SNAME,ID
      )
WHERE rnum = :X

Please note that the query execution time increases linearly with :X
This is to be expected because each time the query is restarted , the query begins to scan all the records from the beginning and has further and further to scan as :X increases.

So if we did a ridiculous query like this:
SELECT i,FNAME,SNAME,DOB
FROM (
       SELECT /*+ INDEX_ASC(CUSTOMER IDX_USE_ME)*/
          row_number() OVER (PARTITION BY FNAME,SNAME ORDER BY FNAME,SNAME,ID) i,
          row_number() OVER (ORDER BY FNAME,SNAME,ID) rnum,
          --LEAD(FNAME, 10000, 0) OVER (ORDER BY FNAME,SNAME,ID) inorderjump,
 	  FNAME,SNAME,DOB
       FROM CUSTOMER
       WHERE FNAME IS NOT NULL AND SNAME IS NOT NULL
       ORDER BY FNAME,SNAME,ID
      )
WHERE rnum = 1
UNION ALL
SELECT i,FNAME,SNAME,DOB
FROM (
       SELECT /*+ INDEX_ASC(CUSTOMER IDX_USE_ME)*/
          row_number() OVER (PARTITION BY FNAME,SNAME ORDER BY FNAME,SNAME,ID) i,
          row_number() OVER (ORDER BY FNAME,SNAME,ID) rnum,
          --LEAD(FNAME, 10000, 0) OVER (ORDER BY FNAME,SNAME,ID) inorderjump,
 	  FNAME,SNAME,DOB
       FROM CUSTOMER
       WHERE FNAME IS NOT NULL AND SNAME IS NOT NULL
       ORDER BY FNAME,SNAME,ID
      )
WHERE rnum = 10000
UNION ALL
SELECT i,FNAME,SNAME,DOB
FROM (
       SELECT /*+ INDEX_ASC(CUSTOMER IDX_USE_ME)*/
          row_number() OVER (PARTITION BY FNAME,SNAME ORDER BY FNAME,SNAME,ID) i,
          row_number() OVER (ORDER BY FNAME,SNAME,ID) rnum,
          --LEAD(FNAME, 10000, 0) OVER (ORDER BY FNAME,SNAME,ID) inorderjump,
 	  FNAME,SNAME,DOB
       FROM CUSTOMER
       WHERE FNAME IS NOT NULL AND SNAME IS NOT NULL
       ORDER BY FNAME,SNAME,ID
      )
WHERE rnum = 20000
-- UNION ALL ...97 more times
...then the performance would be awful because it would follow the arithmetical progression 1+2+3+4+5+6...etc...

The following query eliminates 99 of these UNION ALLs, but suffers from the same arithmetical progression problem:
SELECT i,FNAME,SNAME,DOB
FROM
      ( 
        SELECT /*+ INDEX_ASC(CUSTOMER IDX_USE_ME)*/
            row_number() OVER (PARTITION BY FNAME,SNAME ORDER BY FNAME,SNAME,ID) i,
            row_number() OVER (ORDER BY FNAME,SNAME,ID) rnum,
            FNAME, SNAME, DOB
        FROM CUSTOMER
        WHERE FNAME IS NOT NULL AND SNAME IS NOT NULL
        ORDER BY FNAME,SNAME,ID
      ) a
JOIN      
      (
        SELECT 1+rownum*10000 AS rnum
  	FROM   DUAL
  	CONNECT BY LEVEL <= 99
      ) b
ON a.rnum=b.rnum


BUT what if we did not start from the beginning each time, but from the row where the previous query finished ?
This would mean adding a condition on FNAME, SMAME, ID to the inner WHERE clause or maybe CONNECT BY PRIOR...
Thus, in the subsequent query, an index could be used to find that new starting row almost instantly, and WINDOW NOSORT STOPKEY would jump forward from that row.

Do you think it's doable ?


Regards,
George

It's the "jumping forward" that will get you. If you want to jump forward a predetermined number of rows, you have to count those rows, which means reading them. Damage done!

As for not being able to create an index: Congratulations, your work is done. A DBA that refuses to create an index that demontrably imrpoves performance of a critical (is this critical?) query ASSUMES RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE PROBLEM THEMSELVES.

Yes, I was just hoping that it would be faster than doing the 2sec JOIN which starts from the beginning each time.

The most frustrating thing for me as a low-level programmer is that I can see that Oracle has the means of doing such a jump more efficiently than going through all the rows in between.

When one looks at the index dump available at:
http://www.orafaq.com/node/1403]

----- begin tree dump
branch: 0x68066c8 109078216 (0: nrow: 325, level: 1)
   leaf: 0x68066c9 109078217 (-1: nrow: 694 rrow: 694)
   leaf: 0x68066ca 109078218 (0: nrow: 693 rrow: 693)
   leaf: 0x68066cb 109078219 (1: nrow: 693 rrow: 693)
   leaf: 0x68066cc 109078220 (2: nrow: 693 rrow: 693)
   leaf: 0x68066cd 109078221 (3: nrow: 693 rrow: 693)
   ...
   ...
   leaf: 0x68069cf 109078991 (320: nrow: 763 rrow: 763)
   leaf: 0x68069d0 109078992 (321: nrow: 761 rrow: 761)
   leaf: 0x68069d1 109078993 (322: nrow: 798 rrow: 798)
   leaf: 0x68069d2 109078994 (323: nrow: 807 rrow: 807)
----- end tree dump

.. it can be seen that by knowing the total number of rows and performing a running sum of the nrow values, whole branch/leaf blocks could be skipped without going through their contents. That would be reasonably quick way to "jump ahead".

I am surprised that Oracle developers are not using this block skipping technique in some of the built-in functions, e.g.: LEAD, LAG.

Regards,
George

P.S.
I am far from defending my overzealous DBA, but the sorting order (e.g.: FNAME, SNAME, ID) depends on the users of the system, and if he let a new index be created instead of an existing one being reused, soon the users would create many redundant indices. So I understand his reasons.

Yes indeed. Index skipping would be great (Even though Oracle can do index skipping for non-leading index keys - see index_skip_scan), so in theory you are right - I think.

However, just a final attempt at a solution for you.

can you create a fast refreshing materialized view, with the first, second and third max value for each FNAME, SNAME, ID.

Then reading from that will just be a constant 250 row table!

Although it would mean you need an mview log on CUSTOMER to maintain the updates.

Just a thought though.

Incidentally, adding DOB to the existing index, rather than creating a new one shouldnt cause any harm to anyone else, its just an extra column.

This is exactly what I was talking about before. These row counts in the index are not stored in some easily and cheaply accessible location; they are stored in the index leaf blocks themselves.

If you want to jump forward (say) 1000 rows) then you must read the leaf block from disk, load it into the buffer cache, read the header, then discard it if the row count is less than the jump-forward number.

The expensive part of this operation is reading from disk into the buffer cache. Once you have committed to do that, any hope of serious tuning is lost.

Where you ARE losing out is that it appears Oracle is reading the table to get the DOB even for discarded rows. As discussed, this is avoidable.

I hear what you're saying about the DBA, but by the look of your posts here and on AskTom, you have spent at least $20,000 of your client/employer's money trying to make this thing perform to a required benchmark. Now unless you have gone rogue and are acting without the support and knowledge of your employer, I call that a critical business requirement.

These are the things that DBAs are paid to fix. The problem (with apologies to the DBA's out there) is that most DBA's are -in part - PROCESS workers, whereas programmers are PROJECT workers. It is process workers job to maintain the status-quo and protect their company from the negative effects of change. It is the project-workers job to drag the company kicking-and-screaming into change for the greater good despite the inevitable negative effects.

DBAs have a dual-role: they have to maintain the status-quo and keep the database performance and availability high. But they also have to support developers, which means supporting change. This makes them conflicted, and process often wins out over project.
[/rant]

Anyway, you can mitigate the DOB lookup for discarded rows with something that I usually recommend against (see http://www.orafaq.com/node/1981).

SELECT i,FNAME,SNAME,(select DOB from customer where rowid = row_id) AS DOB
FROM (
        SELECT /*+ INDEX_ASC(CUSTOMER IDX_USE_ME)*/
          row_number() OVER (PARTITION BY FNAME,SNAME ORDER BY FNAME,SNAME,ID) i,
          FNAME,
          SNAME,
          ROWID AS row_id,
          rownum rnum
        FROM CUSTOMER
        WHERE FNAME IS NOT NULL AND SNAME IS NOT NULL         
        ORDER BY FNAME,SNAME,ID
     )
WHERE mod(rnum,:RPB)<3;
