浅谈如何了解一个B-tree索引的变化过程

索引在我们日常维护数据库的性能中占用非常大的比例,如何维护好你的索引很大程度上关系着数据库的性能,当然了索引只是性能调整中数据model的一部分,本文只是大头根据对索引的理解结合脚本来浅浅的对b-tree索引的变化做一个描述,权当饭后谈资,有错误和需要弥补的地方还要靠大家指正.

b-tree索引是啥我就不解释了,不懂的朋友参考oracle concept或者摸下度娘.很多dba都知道,维护索引无外乎如下几种情况:

1.索引有没有
2.索引设计合不合理
3.索引碎片太多了
4.索引过大了,虚胖
5.索引聚簇因不同步

郁闷碰到故障了··rac disgroup 起不来~先去trouble shooting了.

后续补上.

遭遇ORA-27300: OS system dependent operation:fork failed with status: 12

系统平台为

Oracle Solaris on SPARC (64-bit)

数据库版本

11.2.0.3

遭遇这个错误主要是因为备份恢复出问题了,执行介质恢复一下吃光了而且系统告警日志报错如下:

/opt/app/oracle/diag/rdbms/standbydbrtps/RTPS/trace/RTPS_psp0_6332.trc:
ORA-27300: OS system dependent operation:fork failed with status: 12
ORA-27301: OS failure message: Not enough space
ORA-27302: failure occurred at: skgpspawn3

在系统的/var/adm/messages中同时也收到信息如下:

shadowdog-FO genunix: [ID 470503 kern.warning] WARNING: Sorry,

经过诊断与Oracle bug 18387547吻合.该bug信息如下:

Hdr: 18387547 11.2.0.3 RDBMS 11.2.0.3 SECURITY PRODID-5 PORTID-23
Abstract: MEMORY LEAK OF RECOVERY PROCESS IF TDE IS ENABLED

*** 03/12/14 01:45 am ***

PROBLEM:
--------
Customer uses TDE and physical standby. The memory will be eaten by the
recovery process (manual or managed).

DIAGNOSTIC ANALYSIS:
--------------------
When media recovery starts, process that do media recovery (ora_mrp if
recovery is run without parallelism or ora_pr if it is parallel recovery), is
allocating 96 bytes buffers in order to do ioctl() for /dev/crypto, but the
memory is not beeing freed (dtrace shows only malloc() calls, and no free()
calls). Each ioctl() call will be issued with new 96 buffer, and that will
deplete memory on server, causing server to stop once all virtual memory is
used.

In /var/adm/messages we can see the errors:

3.理解redo log file header,redo block header and redo record header

昨天有人问我redo log file header,redo block header, redo record header的区别,这三个确实容易混淆,简单聊聊这三个概念,This is importance.
以16进制格式来分析.偶尔会穿插点10进制的dump格式.
一.redo log file header

redo log file header即为重做日志文件头,文件头的内容部分其实包含2个,一个为file header block,一个为redo log header block.可能这么说还有点含糊,那么看下面这张图:

3

如上图所示,一个redo log文件的头部有2个块,第一个块为file header block,第二个块为redo log header block.下面大致的分析下每个块的存储内容.
截取第一个块的内容如下(我用UE打开格式):

log1

10进制的dump格式:

DUMP OF REDO FROM FILE '/oradata/ora10g/lu10g/redo03.log'

在ue打开的16进制中每行是16bytes,一共32行,这为第一个块file header block.这个block包含的信息有限,逐一分析:
从第一个字节开始到第二个字节为0x22,这2个字节通常为oracle 文件类型的标识,像数据文件的开头这里就为0xA2,这里的0x22就代表redo log file.接着下来第一行就没有有意义的东西了其中的0xFFC0应该和scn中的base部分有关.再看看第二行的16个字节,可以发现在第21和22字节0x0200换算成10进制格式则为512,这里即代表block size.从第25到28字节0x00019000换算成10进制后为102400,而0x00019000代表redo block的数量,这里即为代表这个file的blocks或者理解为这个file的size.而在后续跟着的0x7a7b7c7d为文件标识符,为oracle快速识别文件的一种标识.到这之后第一个块的信息就没啦!

接下来分析第二个块redo log header block,第二个块的信息是在文件中的第33行开始,具体如下:
log2

后续再更新吧,有点耗时间.

How to Dump Redo Log File Information

此文章摘自id 28989.1,为解析redo部分必读的一个文章,没翻译,大家凑合吧.
====================================================================
You are working with Oracle Technical Support. As part of the diagnostic
process, you have been asked to take a dump of the redo log files. The
information in the logs is often used to help diagnose corruption issues.

The following commands will be used in this process:

1. The ‘alter session’ command is used to dump redo headers.

2. Use the ‘alter system dump logfile’ to dump log file contents.

This command requires ‘ALTER SYSTEM’ system privilege. The database can be in
mount, nomount or open state when the command is issued. An online log file
or an archived log file can be dumped. It is even possible to dump a
file from another database, as long as the operating systems are the same.

Output from the command is put into the session’s trace file.

The following ways of dumping a redo log file are covered:

1. To dump records based in DBA (Data Block Address)
2. To dump records based on RBA (Redo Block Address)
3. To dump records based on SCN
4. To dump records based on time
5. To dump records based on layer and opcode
6. Dump the file header information
7. Dump an entire log file:

1. To dump records based on DBA (Data Block Address)
————————————————–

This will dump all redo records for the range of data
blocks specified for a given file # and block # range.

From sqlplus (sqldba or svrmgr for older versions), issue the following command:

ALTER SYSTEM DUMP LOGFILE ‘filename’
DBA MIN fileno . blockno
DBA MAX fileno . blockno;

Example:
========
ALTER SYSTEM DUMP LOGFILE ‘u01/oracle/V7323/dbs/arch1_76.dbf’
DBA MIN 5 . 31125
DBA MAX 5 . 31150;

This will cause all the changes to the specified range of data blocks to be
dumped to the trace file. In the example given, all redo records for file #5,
blocks 31125 thru 31150 are dumped.

Note
====
For 10g:
ALTER SYSTEM DUMP LOGFILE ‘u01/oracle/V7323/dbs/arch1_76.dbf’
DBA MIN 5 . 31125 DBA MAX 5 . 31150;

will raise:
ORA-01963: Must specify a block number

In 10g we need to skip the dot ‘.’ while doing the redo dumps
ALTER SYSTEM DUMP LOGFILE ‘u01/oracle/V7323/dbs/arch1_76.dbf’
DBA MIN 5 31125 DBA MAX 5 31150;

@ As per Bug 3536989

2. To dump records based on RBA (Redo Block Address)
————————————————-

This will dump all redo records for the range of redo
addresses specified for the given sequence number and block number.

Syntax:
ALTER SYSTEM DUMP LOGFILE ‘filename’
RBA MIN seqno . blockno
RBA MAX seqno . blockno;

Example:
ALTER SYSTEM DUMP LOGFILE ‘u01/oracle/V7323/dbs/arch1_76.dbf’
RBA MIN 2050 . 13255
RBA MAX 2255 . 15555;

3. To dump records based on SCN
—————————-

Using this option will cause redo records owning changes within the SCN range
specified to be dumped to the trace file.

ALTER SYSTEM DUMP LOGFILE ‘filename’
SCN MIN minscn
SCN MAX maxscn;

Example:
ALTER SYSTEM DUMP LOGFILE ‘u01/oracle/V7323/dbs/arch1_76.dbf’
SCN MIN 103243
SCN MAX 103294;

If the purpose is to check the dumpfile you can rather do the following,
SQL> ALTER SYSTEM DUMP LOGFILE ‘filename’ SCN MIN 1 SCN MAX 1;

If the above completes sucessfully it ensures no issues with the archivelog.

4. To dump records based on time.
——————————

Using this option will cause redo records created within the time range
specified to be dumped to the trace file.

From sqlplus (sqldba or svrmgr for older versions), issue the following command:

ALTER SYSTEM DUMP LOGFILE ‘filename’
TIME MIN value
TIME MAX value;

Example:
========
ALTER SYSTEM DUMP LOGFILE ‘u01/oracle/V7323/dbs/arch1_76.dbf’
TIME MIN 299425687
TIME MAX 299458800;

Please Note: the time value is given in REDO DUMP TIME

@See Note 34026.1 for SQL script on converting date/time to REDO DUMP time.

5. To dump records based on layer and opcode.
——————————————

LAYER and OPCODE are used to dump all log records for a particular type of
redo record, such as all dropped row pieces.

From sqlplus (sqldba or svrmgr for older versions), issue the following command:

ALTER SYSTEM DUMP LOGFILE ‘filename’
LAYER value
OPCODE value;

Example:
========
ALTER SYSTEM DUMP LOGFILE ‘u01/oracle/V7323/dbs/arch1_76.dbf’
LAYER 11
OPCODE 3;

@Note: See Note 29733.1 for the list of LAYER and OPCODE values and their
@meaning.

6. Dump the file header information:
———————————

This will dump file header information for every
online redo log file.

From sqlplus (sqldba or svrmgr for older versions), issue the following command:

alter session set events ‘immediate trace name redohdr level 10’;

For dumping archivelog header,issue the following command:

ALTER SYSTEM DUMP LOGFILE ‘filename’ RBA MIN 1 1 RBA MAX 1 1;

7. Dump an entire log file:
————————

From sqlplus (sqldba or svrmgr for older versions), issue the following command:

ALTER SYSTEM DUMP LOGFILE ‘filename’;

Please note:
Fully qualify the filename, and include the single quotes.

Example:
========
ALTER SYSTEM DUMP LOGFILE ‘u01/oracle/V7323/dbs/arch1_76.dbf’;

The dump of the logfile will be written into a trace file in the udump destination.
Use the command ‘show parameters dump’ within an sqlplus session.
The ouput will show the location for the udump destination where
the trace file exists.
