Folks, Question about the script in Cary's book (Optimizing Oracle Performance). I don't know if I can cut 'n paste the script without infringing on copyright, so forgive me if I just paste the relevant couple lines. The actual script is on page 96, chapter 5: Interpreting Extended SQL Trace Data so I guess only those folks who have the book could answer, right? I ran the script against an Oracle 9i R2 trace file running on Windows 2000. My assumption is that all timings are in micro seconds (1/1000000 sec). If that is the case, should the following lines at the bottom of the script: printf "%8.2fs %5.1f%%, %-40s\n", $ela{$_}/100, $ela{$_}/$r*100, $_ for sort { $ela{$b} <=> $ela{$a} } keys %ela; printf "%8s- %5s- %-40s\n", "-"x8, "-"x5, "-"x40; printf "%8.2fs %5.1f%% %-40s\n", $r/100, 100, "Total response time"; be written as: printf "%8.2fs %5.1f%%, %-40s\n", $ela{$_}/1000000, $ela{$_}/$r*100, $_ for sort { $ela{$b} <=> $ela{$a} } keys %ela; printf "%8s- %5s- %-40s\n", "-"x8, "-"x5, "-"x40; printf "%8.2fs %5.1f%% %-40s\n", $r/1000000, 100, "Total response time"; i.e. $ela{$_}/100 becomes $ela{$_}/1000000 and $r/100 becomes $r/1000000. Reason is I'm getting some really way off numbers like 10s' of hours for a single row update. Don't have access to the real live database, just the trace files. So, any ideas before I make any silly conclusions? Thanks mohammed __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
