3 Disk Drive Oracle Data Storage Data Files Disk Drive Data Files Tablespace Table Data Tablespace Rollback segments Redo logs RAID drives automatically spread files across multiple drives. Even without RAID you can manually assign table data and rollback segments to different drives. Goal: Substantially improved performance and recovery in case of hardware failure.

4 Gather Statistics Statistics about the data within each table tell Oracle how to optimize queries. The tuning system also uses the statistics to make recommendations about indexes to improve performance. The older command is: Analyze Table Customer compute statistics; Oracle now recommends that you use the DBMS_STATS package instead to analyze the entire database (or schema) at one time. Exec DBMS_STATS.Gather_Database_Stats Or Exec DBMS_STATS.Gather_Schema_Stats(‘powder’) Or Exec DBMS_STATS.Gather_Table_Stats (‘powder’, ‘Customer’) But, you might first have to run the catproc.sql script

9 Tuning: Collect Statistics You might skip the Instance checks for now Use the schema options to select your schema

10 Select Schemas Be sure to include your schema that holds the All Powder tables Click the button to see a list of schemas

11 Expert Recommendations Specific table index recommendations Details on storage locations

12 SQL Analyze SELECT Lastname, Firstname, Customer.CustomerID FROM Customer, Sale WHERE Customer.CustomerID = Sale.CustomerID AND Customer.CustomerID NOT IN (SELECT CustomerID FROM Rental) ORDER BY Lastname, Firstname; List customers who bought items but never rented anything. Note that the query analyzer does not support the newer INNER JOIN syntax

16 Original Query Costs

17 Revised Query Costs Note the correlated subquery Note the two hash joins instead of one Substantially lower total costs

18 Backup and Recovery You could shut down the database and copy the data files and the control file Make sure the Oracle Management Server is installed and running. You might have to install it from the main install wizard Make sure the OracleOraHome92ManagementServer service is running (it is set to Manual start) Use the Enterprise Manager Console to log in. The initial username/password is: sysman/oem_temp You need Archive Log mode set to handle a running backup Select the database/Instance/Configuration in the tree view Under the Recovery tab, check the Archive Log mode This option will generate lots of data files since all changes to the database will be saved in these archive files Run or schedule the backup Tools/Database Tools/Backup Management/Backup

Permissions only have to be set once. Employee changes are handled by moving individuals into or out of groups.
