The frequency at which you rebuild indexes and/or analyze the database is somewhat of a black art. My first question is what do you mean by "there are huge inserts,updates and deletes"? Our operational data store for our testers goes through something line 6 million inserts/updates/deletes per day and the maintenance is being done every 6 months without any performance degradation in between.

Dear Listers,
My manager called me asked to look into the database problems in an IVR appln. The size of the database is around 1 gigs. The db stores information about customers, their phone nos and the relevant details. The mail problem was delay in playing a welcome prompt when the call connects to IVR, 6 queries are executed before playing the welcome message and there was a major delay when the customer needed some info. Basically it has to query the database and pass on the info the person who had called.

First I got all the queries and checked the plan,time taken for each query. I found all the queries did a full table scan and after creating necessary indexes and analyzing the tables, I hit the right thing. Now the welcome message is played moment the call is connected to IVR and there is no time lag susequent queries.

Using tkprof I checked the usage of indexes,CPU usage, time taken for parse,execution. All showing 0. The customer is happy now and also the manager.

I have few doubts. It is an OLTP kind of scenario, there are huge inserts,updates and deletes, in what frequency I have to rebuild indexes and analyze the tables after rebuilding indexes.

Since the db is in noarchivelog mode, it is advisible to put the same in archivelog mode.

Any advices/suggestions are welcome.

Regards
