Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: how to improve sequential scans ?
Rahul,
Could this table be partitioned and the partitions spread across multiple disks? Could the index be partitioned as well? The concept here is, of course, "divide and conquer".
Could a column or two (or three) be added to the index to satisfy the query without having to hit the table?
How frequently are these literal queries being issued? Are they shredding your shared pool and chewing up CPU by making Oracle do extra work in shared pool memory management?
Are there aggregation (vs aggravation <g>) functions or order bys in the queries that might be causing sorts to disk? If aggregation, could you use materialized views to satisfy the queries?
...just a few ideas.

list (AIX, 7.3.2)
5 clients are shooting the same sql to read data from an 18 million rows
table.
each time the sql uses a different literal value in the where clause... no
bind variables.
I CANNOT TOUCH THE APPLICATION, and have been given the task to re-configure
the
DB to increase performance.
i have moved the table and it;s associated index to separate disks. and
iostat show that
only that only those two disks are being read.
the session wait show that all the times the sessions are waiting on "db file sequential read"
the db file being sequentially read in the above sessiion is the TABLE from
which
all the sid's are reading
the table is analyzed and the sql's issued use the index.
how can i further tune this config. ?
TIA Rahul
PS: my next step is to put the files on raw disks.
