Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Re: Perfomrance Issue When using BEQ protocol
Hi Ahmed,
Unfortunately I haven’t experience using BEQ protocol (Just TCP/IP and IPC 
if DB-es located on the same machine).
But one thought coming to my mind: 
I wouldn’t test network protocol performance just by TNSPING. 
I would try to resend some amount of data though both protocol, which 
performance I going to compare.

        Subject:        Perfomrance Issue When using BEQ protocol
Dear All,
I have an environment that has two databases, OFSA & ODS.
Database ODS has a database link to the OFSA database. This
database link uses a connect string called OFSA, which is defined 
as follows:
OFSA =
  (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
      (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = CI-DW-PRD)(PORT = 1521))
    )
    (CONNECT_DATA =
      (SERVICE_NAME =OFSA)
    )
  )
There is a batch job that run on the server and that uses the above
database link to retrieve some data from the OFSA database.
Due to performance issues on the above batch job, I suggested to implement 
the BEQ protocol in the connect string that is used by the above databse 
link
as long as the two databases are on the same server, and because I read 
some
documents that BEQ is faster than TCP/IP. So, I created another connect 
string
as follows:
PROD =
  (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = BEQ)(PROGRAM = oracle)(ARGV0 = oracleOFSA)(ARGS 
= '(DESCRIPTION=(LOCAL=YES)(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=BEQ)))')(ENVS = 
'ORACLE_SID=OFSA,ORACLE_HOME=/apps/oracle/product/8.1.7'))
  )
The I test connection using the two connect strings, using the tnsping 
utility 
over a period of time, and I found that using the BEQ connect string is 
much
slower than using the TCP/IP connect string. Following are sample test 
results:
Thanks & Best Regards
Ahmed
