Hi,
>From MetaLink:-

"dml lock allocation
This latch protects the list of State Objects (dml locks). Every time a transaction modifies a table, a DML lock is gotten and released when the change is committed. The number of State Objects for dml locks is determined by
the init.ora <Parameter:DML_LOCKS>".

So I would be looking at how often you commit. Also what sort of turn over are you getting on the online redo logs? It may well be that they are too small.
You may want to investigate having multiple freelists for the table you are inserting into, having many parallel inserts (assuming you have enabled parallel DML), may well be causing a lot of contention for the header block at the start of the segment.

Good luck.

Pete

Subject: what's mean of "enqueue hash chains" latch?

hello;

We have a Oracle 8.1.7.0.0 Database on Solaris8. With a parallel insert , database slow down heavy suddently.

I find lots of latch wait in database,from statspack(with 15 minutes elapse) list:

I can not find more info about "enqueue hash chains". What' s it mean and how to reduce it ?

The SQL of parallel insert is :

insert /*+ append parallel(fc_costgatherresult_m,4) */ into=20 fc_costgatherresult_m
(kjnd,kjqj,pk_dwbm,pk_deptdoc,pk_psndoc,isproduct,pk_productorbalance,ac countcurrtype,producttype,pk_costitem,originaldwbm,originaldept,calmny,p k_client,clienttype,pk_credittype)
 select /*+ parallel(fc_costcalresult_m,4) */ '2004','11',pk_dwbm,pk_deptdoc,pk_psndoc,isproduct,pk_productorbalance,a ccountcurrtype,producttype,pk_costitem,originaldwbm,originaldept,sum(cal mny),pk_client,clienttype,pk_credittype
  from fc_costcalresult_m where pk_dwbm =3D originaldwbm   group by
pk_dwbm,pk_deptdoc,pk_psndoc,isproduct,pk_productorbalance,accountcurrty pe,producttype,pk_costitem,originaldwbm,originaldept,pk_client,clienttyp e,pk_credittype

All the table is partition table.
Table fc_costcalresult_m with nearly 40G data.

And we have the parameter:
dml_locks =3D 2000
enqueue_resources =3D 2200

I also want to know why "dml lock allocation" Requests is so high?

Any suggestion is appreciate.
