You are right. As you agreed our ultimate goal is user satisfaction and I
believe in that, may be a old habit. I came into computer area because of
our dissatisfaction(being enduser) with our IT shop otherwise professionaly
I used to be a qualified professional accountant playing with numbers.

Thanks for the info.
Too bad you can't get some metrics to show what was happening.
Yes, user satisfaction is the ultimate indicator of tuning success, but there are also metrics to back it up, they just need to be collected before and after.
Thanks,
Jared

RE: Separate
Jared,
Unfortunately at this stage I cannot quantify in numbers as I have left
that
job 5 months back. But dealing with Oracle Financials 10.7 with version
7.3.4, I observed it practically that this table and it is indexes (i
think
4 or 5 indexes) require special attention for performance reasons.
At my last employment that table was also used by customized application specially Manufactruring and stock locator application and heavy usage of inserts and deletes. If indexes were not rebuilt on that tablespace then I
have seen that users were complaining about slowness of thier jobs. So I
made it a maintenance routine to rebuild indexes on gl_interface table
after
monthly closing.
Apart from this, as you cannot change code in Oracle Financials(although I
did) , you to deal with indexes either through rebuilding them at regular intervals (may be six moths or a year) or adding new indexes based on your
observation of certain codes. One monthly job called ACCRUAL REBUILD
RECONCILIATION was passing 36 hours and I have to add 6 indexes on 2
tables
and time went down to 1 hour. In certain codes they were suppresing
indexes(perfectly indexed columns) resulting 15 mintues to fetch rows and
after correcting that code it took less than second.
Now another database of Order Entry System. When I joined I observed a lot
of performance issues. After consulting with Development team,tracked all those tables with lot of regular deletes and inserts, rebuilt all indexes and got back 5GB of tablespace and performance was at their peak.
All those application was based on RULE optimizer so we were not analyzing
any table/indexes but based on experience with those applications, I was
tracking those tables with large deletes and inserts through
application(not
data load) and rebuilding indexes with regular interval to keep smooth
performance.
In my opinion, we always need performance satisfaction of end user instead
of numbers.
If you have any specific question, please let me know.
Regards
Rafiq

The 'better performance' part is what I would like to see some metrics on.
How much better? Is it worth the trouble?
If your indexes continually build up to the same size, what is being gained by saving some space for a period of time?
Thanks,
Jared
