Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Log writer
I should have explained more, sorry about that. These are actually only two drives, F and G are actually the same hard disk, just logical partitions because some bone head thought it would be better to buy one 36 gig scsi as opposed to two 18 gig scsi's, and no it wasn't me.

I agree that the log buffer is too big. But why do you want to decrease the log file size from 32M to 5MB. This will increase the checkpoint frequency and will create performance hit due to increased checkpoints. Also, I would add log files to use all three disks rather than just 2 disks.
GROUP 11 (
'E:\ORACLE\ORADATA\JAVA16\LOG1101.LOG',
'F:\ORACLE\ORADATA\JAVA16\LOG1102.LOG'
) SIZE 32M,
GROUP 12 (
'G:\ORACLE\ORADATA\JAVA16\LOG1201.LOG',
'E:\ORACLE\ORADATA\JAVA16\LOG1202.LOG'
) SIZE 32M,
GROUP 13 (
'F:\ORACLE\ORADATA\JAVA16\LOG1301.LOG',
'G:\ORACLE\ORADATA\JAVA16\LOG1302.LOG'
) SIZE 32M
Further your application IO is 25% FTS and 75% index based access. I
would definitely pull the sql statements out of the v$sqlarea and tune
them..

Please
respond to
ORACLE-L
Uh.....67,676 kb. ? as in 67 MB? for a redo log buffer? Is this a
result
of our new president being a texan?
On your system,
Let us know what happens.
Please.
thanks Ross,
MTS, I didn't know it was on? Isn't that just an init.ora
setting? I am looking in to finding out about the cache, but no luck
yet. The redo log buffer is 67,676 kb. Yes, this isn't some normal
little system where the duhvelopers are just querying the db, they are
constantly doing DML, lots of FTS. I have found so many indexes in
the USERS tablespace which puts them on the same HD as the tables they
are accessing. I move them, but somehow more seem to always
appear...hmmm..wonder why that is.
But I am curious, when you say network/app tuning, what exactly do
you mean by that? I know that two disks aren't that great, but not my
idea, it was done before my dumbass got here, now I am just trying to
fix it. Everything else looks good on the system though,
library_cache hit ratio, buffer cache hit ratio all very high. It's
just this program occasionally, about every 10 minutes is telling me
the logwriter is a slouch.
What about my other question though,

Kev,
Pure shot from hip:
I'd say you have more network/app response tuning than log
tuning. I'd
say you have more disk tuning ( for table/index reads) than log
tuning. I
would DEFINITELY turn the silly ass MTS off.
I'd find out how to make sure disk cache is 4 MB and is writeBACK
not writeTHRU. ( if either ) I'd have questions about the
controller, too, but.."later".
(You didn't tell me the size of the redo log buffer...)
Of course, having a two disk wonder (or whatever it is) is the
number
one thing to work on.
In any case, with your hardware, your system should easily be
able
to handle a few users, in its sleep.
There's about two dozen little tweaks you can do to perk things
up a bit,
but basically, your "rock and a hard place" is going to be a two
disk wonder
on a single controller...

I believe the only problem is that they are on one
controller. However, this is not a huge database, only
about 3-4 users connected at a time, but lots of DML. The
machine is a Dell Precision 410 with a gig of Ram and dual
PIII 450's. I don't think that it's a huge problem, but it
does keep coming up. There are three log file groups of 32
MB's each and yes the database is also spread accross these
two platters.

Hi all,
I am testing out Spotlight on Oracle from Quest
Software. It is telling me
that my log writer process is slow. What it looks like
it is saying is that
most disks take about 20ms to right the data and mine
is taking on average
about 40ms. I don't know why, they are scsi drives and
there isn't that
much stress on the syste. Anyway, I moved the redo
logs to seperate disks,
but I fear I may have made an error. Instead of moving
each "group" to
seperate hard disks, I moved the members of each group
to seperate hard
disks. Anyway, I am wondering if anyone has advice on
this problem.
Sincerely,
