RE: Slow Database Aft Upgrade from 8i to 9.2

Hi Laura,

You might want to try running statspack and uploading the results to oraperf.com for analysis.

It is typical to require a significantly larger shared pool after an upgrade from 8i to 9i, so you might want to increase that, but I wouldn't do it blindly - check your stats first to see if it's necessary, otherwise you might be wasting space that could be better allocated to your buffer cache or elsewhere.

Most likely, your problem is the result of queries using different execution plans from what was used in 8i. You can find the top statements in statspack, OEM Top SQL, or in v$sql and then look at their execution plans compared to what they used to be in 8i. Or perform traces of the specific slow-running queries and do a before/after upgrade comparison on them.

Regards,
Brandon

Subject: Slow Database Aft Upgrade from 8i to 9.2

Can someone direct me to a place to troubleshoot your database? Is there a way to check for 'Memory Leaks'? I have a tuning book and have been running scripts to find how much is being used, what statements are the worst, etc., but is there a 'common' size for the Shared Pool, Large Pool, Sort, etc? I know it depends on the size of the database. I guess I am just looking for a starting point, i.e. if small blah, blah; if large blah blah, or large pool is ??% the size of the Shared Pool and total db memory should not be more than ??% of physical memory.

Thanks, Laura
