Hey all,

In 11.2.0.3 on AIX 7.1, I'm tracing down an issue on an SR and stumbled into the world of LGWR. It's causing blocking locks (falsely being reported, I believe) when stressed, so I'm looking at LGWR performance.

Using Kyle Hailey's average log write time query at the bottom of -- *NOTE: TUNING PACK LICENSE REQUIRED* -- http://www.oaktable.net/content/lgwr-redo-write-times-log-file-parallel-write <javascript:void(0);/*1424380114607*/> my average is about 0.52ms with 90% of all between 0.4ms and 0.6ms, and another 8.4% at 0.7ms.

Knowing that there's over-committing going on, I'm thinking that 0.52ms isn't my issue, but what are other folks getting?

TIA!
Rich

Hi Rich,
I am now a consultant so I don't have the database that I am in charge of and, consequently, no numbers for you. However, from the numbers you presented, the duration of commit at this particular database is about half a millisecond. That means that the database would theoretically be able to commit 2000 times per second, which is not a shabby performance by any standard. With all due respect, and we communicate by email on and off this list for about two decades, you don't have a problem with the duration of commit. However I have recently encountered falsely reported blocking lock which were happening whenever TEMP tablespace was being extended.
