Oracle Self-tune checkpointing lag of log switch

Often DB alert.log shows a lag of 5 minutes from log switch to Completed checkpoint as follows:
(from 11:03:36 to 11:08:39)

Completed checkpoint up to RBA [0x8b.2.10], SCN: 13022649669494
is this a LGWR performance problem ?

In this Blog, we will demonstrate those LGWR and CKPT asynchronous write and 3 hidden parameters with Linux bpftrace by following the advanced guidance Let's trace it! A peek into the inner workings of Oracle with bpftrace von Christoph Lutz. 

  _selftune_checkpointing_lag		Self-tune checkpointing lag the tail of the redo log   300
  _disable_selftune_checkpointing	Disable self-tune checkpointing                        FALSE
  _selftune_checkpoint_write_pct	Percentage of total physical i/os for self-tune ckpt   3
Note: Tested in Oracle 19.24.

In Linux window, start bpftrace script below: 

BPFTRACE_STRLEN=200 bpftrace -e '
 tracepoint:syscalls:sys_enter_openat /(strncmp("ora_lgwr", comm, 7) == 0 || strncmp("ora_ckpt", comm, 7) == 0) && strncmp("/oradir", str(args->filename), 7) == 0/ 
   {time("====== %H:%M:%S ------ ");
    printf("comm=%s, pid=%d, filename ------\n%8s%s\n", comm, pid, "", str(args->filename));}
 tracepoint:syscalls:sys_enter_write /(strncmp("ora_lgwr", comm, 7) == 0 || strncmp("ora_ckpt", comm, 7) == 0) && strncmp("<",str(args->buf), 1) == 1/ 
   {time("====== %H:%M:%S ------ ");
    printf("comm=%s, pid=%d, fd=%d, BUF ------\n%s\n", comm, pid, args->fd, str(args->buf));}'
In Sqlplus window, run following SQL: 

--create table test_tab as select 1 x from dual; 

update tt1 set x = x + 1;
commit;
alter system switch logfile;
Back to Linux Window, we can see following output during around 5 minutes:

Completed checkpoint up to RBA [0x8b.2.10], SCN: 13022649669494
Both LGWR and CKPT write to DIAG "log.xml" and alert.log (xml content in "log.xml" are filtered out).
LGWR records redo log activities at beginning (11:03:36), and only after about 5 minutes,
CKPT sends "Completed checkpoint" (11:08:39) with same "RBA [0x8b.2.10]".

If we look redo logs immediately after switch logfile, the current one is marked with log switch timestamp (11:03): 

oracle@testdb:testdb > ls -ltr /oratestdb/oradata/testdb/redo*
-rw-r----- 1 oracle dba 1073742336 Nov  4 10:19 /oratestdb/oradata/testdb/redo04.dbf
-rw-r----- 1 oracle dba 1073742336 Nov  4 10:21 /oratestdb/oradata/testdb/redo01.dbf
-rw-r----- 1 oracle dba 1073742336 Nov  4 11:03 /oratestdb/oradata/testdb/redo03.dbf
-rw-r----- 1 oracle dba 1073742336 Nov  4 11:03 /oratestdb/oradata/testdb/redo02.dbf
As tested, the 5 minutes is an upper limit and controlled by the default 300 seconds of "_selftune_checkpointing_lag".

If we change it as (require DB restart): 

alter system set "_selftune_checkpointing_lag"=60 scope=spfile;
The "Completed checkpoint" is written after 1 minutes.

If we disable the Self-tune by (require DB restart): 

alter system set "_disable_selftune_checkpointing"=true scope=spfile;
CKPT will no more write "Completed checkpoint" in alert.log.

Of course, if we want to watch "Completed checkpoint", we can force a checkpoint by: 

alter system checkpoint;

Find the skipped rows in select for update skip locked

This Blog will make a test to show how to find the skipped rows when running "select for update skip locked".
It first gets the number of skipped rows, and lists all the skipped rows as well.
We also give a workaround for delete skip locked.

Then we explore one unexpected Oracle behaviour of analytic function with skip locked in finding the skipped rows.

Note: Tested in Oracle 19.24.


1. Test Setup


We create one test table and one procedure to detect skipped rows. 

drop table test_upd_tab;

create table test_upd_tab as select level x, -level y from dual connect by level <= 10;

create index test_upd_tab_idx_1 on test_upd_tab(x);

exec dbms_stats.gather_table_stats('K', 'TEST_UPD_TAB', cascade=>true);

--drop type test_upd_tab_set force;
--drop type test_upd_tab_row force;

create or replace type test_upd_tab_row as object (x number, y number, vsum number, rcnt number, rnum number);
/

create or replace type test_upd_tab_set is table of test_upd_tab_row;
/

create or replace procedure test_update_skip_locked(p_start number, p_end number) as
  l_row_set_upd     test_upd_tab_set;
  l_updatable_rows  number;
  l_sql_text        varchar2(4000);
  l_xid             varchar2(50);
  l_start_scn       number;
  l_start_date      date;
  l_row_set_start  test_upd_tab_set;
begin
  select /*+ index(t test_upd_tab_idx_1) GATHER_PLAN_STATISTICS MONITOR test_ks_2 */ test_upd_tab_row(x, y, 0, 0, 0)
    bulk collect into l_row_set_upd
    from test_upd_tab t where x between p_start and p_end for update skip locked;
  
  dbms_output.put_line(rpad('=', 100, '='));
  dbms_output.put_line('Selected to Update  Rows#: '||sql%rowcount);
  dbms_output.put_line('Returned to Update  Rows#: '||l_row_set_upd.count());
  dbms_output.put_line(rpad('=', 100, '='));

  for c in (
    with sq as (select * from v$sql_plan_monitor 
                 where sql_id in (select sql_id from v$sql_monitor 
                                   where lower(sql_text) like 'select%test_ks_2%' and sid = sys_context('userenv', 'sid')))
    select sql_id, sid, sql_exec_start, plan_line_id, plan_operation, output_rows from sq 
     where sql_exec_id = (select max(sql_exec_id) from sq) and plan_line_id in (1, 2) order by plan_line_id)
  loop
    case 
      when c.plan_line_id = 1 then
        l_updatable_rows := c.output_rows;
        select sql_text into l_sql_text from v$sql where sql_id = c.sql_id and rownum = 1;
        dbms_output.put_line('Session: '||c.sid||', at: '||c.sql_exec_start||', run SQL_ID: '||c.sql_id);
        dbms_output.put_line('sql_text: '||l_sql_text);
        dbms_output.put_line(rpad('=', 100, '='));

  select /*+ GATHER_PLAN_STATISTICS MONITOR test_ks_3 */ test_upd_tab_row(x, y, 0, 0, 0)
    bulk collect into l_row_set_start
    from test_upd_tab as of scn l_start_scn where x between p_start and p_end;

    dbms_output.put_line(rpad(c.x, 8, ' ')||rpad(c.y, 8, ' '));
  end loop;
end;

2. Test Run


We open two Sqlplus sessions, and make following test.


2.1 Session_1


We first lock 3 rows with x between 5 and 7 in Session_1: 

------------ Session_1@T1, lock 3 rows ------------

SQL > select * from test_upd_tab t where x between 5 and 7 for update skip locked;

               X          Y
      ---------- ----------
               5         -5
               6         -6
               7         -7


2.2 Session_2


In Session_2, we are trying to lock 8 rows with x between 2 and 9.
The output shows that there are 8 rows found, but only 5 are updatable since 3 (=8-5) rows are locked by Session_1.
Then we list all 3 skipped rows. 

------------ Session_2@T2, Print the number of skipped lock rows, and skip locked rows ------------

alter session set nls_date_format ='YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS'; 

SQL > exec test_update_skip_locked(2, 9);

3. Delete skip locked


Oracle does not support "delete skip locked" (error: ORA-00933: SQL command not properly ended). We can have a workaround if we run following code in Session_2: 

------------ Session_2@T2, delete skip locked rows ------------

declare
  p_start           number := 2;
  p_end             number := 9;
  l_row_set_upd     test_upd_tab_set;
  l_row_set_del     test_upd_tab_set;
begin
  select /*+ index(t test_upd_tab_idx_1) GATHER_PLAN_STATISTICS MONITOR test_ks_2 */ test_upd_tab_row(x, y, 0, 0, 0)
    bulk collect into l_row_set_upd
    from test_upd_tab t where x between p_start and p_end for update skip locked;
    
  delete from test_upd_tab 
   where x between p_start and p_end 
     and x in (select x from table(l_row_set_upd))
   returning test_upd_tab_row(x, y, 0, 0, 0) bulk collect into l_row_set_del;
   
  dbms_output.put_line(rpad('=', 42, '=')||' Delete skip locked rows '||rpad('=', 42, '='));
  dbms_output.put_line(rpad('X', 8, ' ')||rpad('Y', 8, ' '));
  dbms_output.put_line(rpad('-', 8, '-')||rpad('-', 8, '-'));
  
  for c in (select * from table(l_row_set_del) order by 1)
  loop
    dbms_output.put_line(rpad(c.x, 8, ' ')||rpad(c.y, 8, ' '));
  end loop;
  
  dbms_output.put_line('');
  dbms_output.put_line(l_row_set_del.count()||' rows deleted.');
end;
/
Here the output: 

========================================== Delete skip locked rows ==========================================
X       Y
----------------
2       -2
3       -3
4       -4
8       -8
9       -9


4. Using Oracle behaviour of analytic function with skip locked


When facing question: "Is there a way to get the data of the rows that were skipped ?",
Solomon Yakobson (Feb 22 2018) in Oracle Forums: For Update Skip Locked (https://forums.oracle.com/ords/apexds/post/for-update-skip-locked-6618)
revealed one related Oracle behaviour of analytic function with skip locked.


4.1. Test of analytic function with skip locked


Here the test and all output, which shows locked row data will be included in analytic function related calculations of VAL_SUM, ROW_NUM.
(at first rollback all transactions in Session_1 and Session_2) 

------------- Session_1@T1, Test Setup and one row update -------------

drop table test_skip_tab;

create table test_skip_tab as select level id, 100 val from dual connect by level <= 3;

4.2. Use unexpected behaviour to in find the skipped rows.


Similar to Section 1 Test Setup, we first code one Plsql procedure: 

create or replace procedure test_update_skip_locked_2(p_start number, p_end number) as
  l_row_set_upd     test_upd_tab_set;

    bulk collect into l_row_set_upd
    from test_upd_tab t where x between p_start and p_end for update skip locked;
  
  dbms_output.put_line(rpad('=', 100, '='));
  dbms_output.put_line('Selected to Update  Rows#: '||sql%rowcount);
  dbms_output.put_line('Returned to Update  Rows#: '||l_row_set_upd.count());

  dbms_output.put_line('Found     Rows#: '||l_row_set_upd(1).rcnt);
  dbms_output.put_line('Updatable Rows#: '||l_row_set_upd.count);
  dbms_output.put_line('Skipped   Rows#: '||(l_row_set_upd(1).rcnt - l_row_set_upd.count));
  
  dbms_output.put_line(rpad('=', 100, '='));
  for c in (select level  + (p_start-1) rnum from dual connect by level <= l_row_set_upd(1).rcnt
            minus
            select t.rnum + (p_start-1) rnum from table(l_row_set_upd) t
            )
  loop
    dbms_output.put_line('Skipped Row Number: '||c.rnum);
  end loop;

  select xid, start_scn, start_date into l_xid, l_start_scn, l_start_date

  dbms_output.put_line('XID = '||l_xid||', Start_SCN = '||l_start_scn||', Start_Date = '||l_start_date);
  
  select /*+ GATHER_PLAN_STATISTICS MONITOR test_ks_3b */ 
    test_upd_tab_row(x, y, sum (1) over (), count (1) over (), row_number() over (order by x))
    bulk collect into l_row_set_start
    from test_upd_tab as of scn l_start_scn where x between p_start and p_end;

  dbms_output.put_line(rpad('=', 100, '='));
  dbms_output.put_line('Selected at Start  Rows#: '||SQL%ROWCOUNT);

  end loop;  
end;
/


4.3 Session_1 Test


We first lock 3 rows with x between 5 and 7 in Session_1:
(at first rollback all transactions in Session_1 and Session_2) 

------------ Session_1@T1, lock 3 rows ------------

SQL > select * from test_upd_tab t where x between 5 and 7 for update skip locked;

               X          Y
      ---------- ----------
               5         -5

               7         -7


4.4 Session_2 Test


In Session_2, we are trying to lock 8 rows with x between 2 and 9.
The output shows that there are 8 rows found, but only 5 are updatable since 3 (=8-5) rows are locked by Session_1.
Then we list all 3 skipped rows. 

------------ Session_2@T2, Print the number of skipped lock rows, and skip locked rows ------------

alter session set nls_date_format ='YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS'; 

SQL > exec test_update_skip_locked_2(2, 9);

5. Related Work


Rob van Wijk (February 7, 2009) in Blog: FOR UPDATE SKIP LOCKED (http://rwijk.blogspot.com/2009/02/for-update-skip-locked.html) showed:
(1). opening a cursor with the "for update skip locked" clause doesn't lock a single row. Fetching a row does lock the row.
(2). a "for update skip locked" doesn't only skip the locked rows, it also skips the rows that were modified between the opening and the fetching, thus avoiding the classic "lost update".

One OracleJVM TIME_MODEL Test

In this Blog, we will make 5 different scenario tests of Java Stored Procedure running in Oracle RDBMS embedded JVM, and collect their stats from Oracle V$SESS_TIME_MODEL and V$SYS_TIME_MODEL.

Note: Tested in Oracle 19.24 with single user session.


1. Test Run


We run 5 different Scenarios (see Blog appended Test Code), each for 100 seconds. 

  set serveroutput on size 50000
  -- Enable java println output on Sqlplus Window
  exec dbms_java.set_output(50000);   

  exec TestOraJvmRun2_call(plsqlSleepSeconds=> 100);
  exec TestOraJvmRun2_call(plsqlRunSeconds=> 100);    
  exec TestOraJvmRun2_call(javaPlsqlMixRunSeconds=> 100);
  exec TestOraJvmRun2_call(javaSleepSeconds=> 100);
  exec TestOraJvmRun2_call(javaRunSeconds=> 100);

Oracle AQ Dequeue 'KTC latch subh' Memory Leak and Dequeue Long Running Test

Following previous Blog: "Oracle dbms_aq.dequeue_array Shared Pool "KTC Latch Subh" Memory Leak" (http://ksun-oracle.blogspot.com/2021/11/oracle-dbmsaqdequeuearray-shared-pool.html), we will reproduce another case of AQ Dequeue 'KTC latch subh' Memory Leak test in Orale 19.11 with Patch 31666684, and shows dequeue long (hours) running.

Note: Tested in 19.11 with following DB settings (also reproduced in 19.22. In 19.22, there is no Patch 31666684): 

  Patch 31666684 (Patch Description: MEMORY LEAK KTC LATCH SUBH  ON AQ DEQUEUE)
 
  -- set small shared_pool to observe memory resize between shared pool and buffer cache due to "KTC latch subh"
  alter system set shared_pool_size=1008M scope=spfile;  
  
  -- set 3 subpools in shared_pool
  alter system set "_kghdsidx_count"=3 scope=spfile; 
  
  -- disable autosga to generate ORA-04031
  --alter system set "_memory_imm_mode_without_autosga"=false;

2. Test Run


We open 3 Sqlplus sessions.
In SID-1, we enqueue 1e6 messages with commit.
In SID-2, dequeue all 1e6 messages without commit to observe 'KTC latch subh' Memory Leak.
Then in SID-3, dequeue one portion (1e3) of messages to show dequeue long running.


3.1. Queue Filling: SID-1 Enqueue with commit

One Test of Oracle Object Collection MEMBER OF Function

Following previous Blog: Performance of Oracle Object Collection Comparisons - Part1 (http://ksun-oracle.blogspot.com/2016/01/performance-of-oracle-object-collection_13.html), we will make one test of MEMBER OF Method.

Oracle Docu writes:
     The MEMBER [OF] or NOT MEMBER [OF] condition tests whether or not an element is a member of a nested table, returning the result as a Boolean value.

It seems that order method of object type is used in MEMBER OF Function to make direct one-to-one object comparisons.
Therefore, we use order method to record the number of comparisons.

Note: Tested in Oracle 19c and 22c.


1. Test Setup

      -- for debug

      --                     ' ('||p_num||' > '||c.p_num||' ?) = '||sign(p_num - c.p_num));

  dbms_output.put_line('obj_tab.size   = ' || cardinality(l_obj_tab));
end;

2. Test Run


At first, we fill test_tab with 1000 rows, each row has one nested table and one varray of 100 different numbers (values are 1..100).
The first element is always 1, the others (2-100) are sorted by dbms_random.value. 

exec fill_tab(1000, 100);
Then we run test for varray and nested table by using "MEMBER OF" with 10 or 100 elements, once with all positive numbers, once with all negative numbers.
With positive numbers, "MEMBER OF" returns true for first element.
With negative numbers, "MEMBER OF" returns false after going all elements. 

exec memberof_test(10, +1, 'varray');
exec memberof_test(10, -1, 'varray');
exec memberof_test(100, +1, 'varray');
exec memberof_test(100, -1, 'varray');

exec memberof_test(10, +1, 'ntab');
exec memberof_test(10, -1, 'ntab');
exec memberof_test(100, +1, 'ntab');
exec memberof_test(100, -1, 'ntab');


3. Test Outcome


In case of varray, with positive numbers, the number of Comparisons is the same as table rows; with negative numbers, the number of Comparisons is ("table rows" * "varray size" * "number of positive numbers");

In case of nested table, with positive numbers, the number of Comparisons is more than table rows because nested table in each row is physically stored in "test_tab_obj_store" (nested table storage), and its physical sequence is not the same as its logical sequence (one can dump "test_tab_obj_store" data block to check them).

With negative numbers, the number of Comparisons is ("table rows" * "varray size" * "number of positive numbers");
